“عبثاً سيحاول النهوض، الصياح بصوته المتخاذل ،أن يلطم داخل التابوت المظلم الضيق لكي يعرفوا أنه لا يزال حياً وآنهم بسبيلهم لدفنه وهو على قيد الحياة. سيكون ذلك بلاطائل ، فحتى هنالك لن تستجيب أعضاؤه لذلك النداء العاجل الأخير من جهازه العصبي.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories


“She returned many years later. So much time had passed that the smell of musk in the room had blended in with the smell of the dust, with the dry and tiny breath of the insects. I was alone in the house, sitting in the corner, waiting. And I had learned to make out the sound of rotting wood, the flutter of the air becoming old in the closed bedrooms. That was when she came.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories

“Deliró varias horas, a grandes voces, y con una pasión obstinada. Pero Ulises no la oyó, porque Eréndira lo había querido tanto, y con tanta verdad, que lo volvió a querer por la mitad de su precio mientras la abuela deliraba, y lo siguió queriendo sin dinero hasta el amanecer.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories

“And it´s so different for a lot of people I´ve known. One partner doesn´t love the other enough to stop drinking, or gambling, or running around with other women. One is the giver and one is the taker. The giver wishes the taker would stop”
― Alma Katsu, quote from The Taker


“«Natale una fesseria, zio?», disse il nipote di Scrooge; «sono sicuro che non pensi una cosa simile».
«Certo che la penso», disse Scrooge. «Buon Natale! Che diritto hai tu di essere allegro? Che ragione hai tu di essere allegro? Sei povero abbastanza».
«Andiamo, via», rispose allegro il nipote. «Che diritto hai tu di essere triste? Che ragione hai tu di essere scontento? Sei ricco abbastanza».”
― Charles Dickens, quote from A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings

― M.T. Vasudevan Nair, quote from രണ്ടാമൂഴം | Randamoozham


“Sempre he pensat que el do d'una persona reflectia alguna cosa seva, i l'únic que se m'acut és que el meu do reflecteix els meus desitjos,i que jo desitjo ser totalment salvatge, totalment lliure. Sense cap mena de control.”
― Sally Green, quote from Half Wild


“Are those chocolate chip?'' Cole reaches her first and claims one.
''Oh, my godness.'' Nana sets the tray aside and coos the guy. ''Cole, dear, you have a boulder-size knot on your jaw.''
''River did it.'' Cole smirks at the guy. ''And he insulted my mom. And my dad.''
''River Marks.'' Nana shakes her head, as if her heart is acually breaking. ''How could you be so rough? And so insensitive!''
River glares at Cole before bowing his head. ''I'm sorry, Nana.''
''The human body is like a flower. Treat it well, and it will bloom.'' She approaches the ring and extends two cookies. River and I accept with eager thanks. ''Let's be kind to each other and keep our punches away from the face and groin.'' ''Yes, ma'am,'' we say in unison. Then of course, we devour the offering as if we've never tasted sugar.
''Good, good.'' She brushes the crumbs from her fingers. ''I'll leave you kids to your practice.'' She kisses Ali, then Cole, and leaves.
''Are you a rose?'' River sneers at Cole. ''Or a lilly?''
''Orchid. And your jealousy is showing.'' Cole responds.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from A Mad Zombie Party

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
