“Will you buckle in? It’s bad enough we kidnapped you.”
“Will you stop being cute? Your nose is smudging the window. My god, you’re worse than a puppy,”
“You like books?” Victor asked, catching my look. “Who doesn’t?”
“Hey there, little mermaid. You don’t want to start that game with me. I win every time.”
“Fuck thinking. Thinking hurts the team. Jump.”
“It worried me that perhaps my voice was permanently damaged. I couldn’t stand to think that was the case. I would be Sang, the girl with nothing to say, and no voice to say it.”
“When was the last time we talked? Before we moved? Even now, when we had time to talk, he walked off to make phone calls. I thought I should be disappointed or sad but I wasn’t. I was empty. Strangers in a strange family.”
“I had nowhere to look but into his beautifil freen eyes. "I make a halfway decent friend if you give me the chance." (...) Kota was on his back, his elbow against his forehead. His mouth was open and he was breathing slowly. With his glasses off, he looked completely adorable. I stayed awake as long as I could to watch him.”
“She's new.She's going to be interested in stuff."
"I go that, Sherlock, thank you.”
“He laughed. “You’re actually kind of cute. You should totally wear that your first day of school.”
“His reddish hair looked soft like rabbit fur. My fingers itched to touch but I knew I never would. I swallowed to try to gain some of my voice back and repeated myself. “A week, I think,” he said. “I keep meaning to come back out here to clear it out from the path but I’ve been putting it off. There was a bad storm before you moved”
“Nathan smoothly touched the bottom with a palm. His shirt and shoes were off. When his head and chest rose out of the water, I was in awe of the muscles that were defined in his body. Unlike Silas whose bulk of muscle was smooth, Nathan was a precision machine. The ripples of muscles along his abdomen fit together like a living puzzle. A smile broke on his lips as those penetrating blue eyes fixed on my face. “Did you find out?”
“them. “I... well when Dr. Green stopped me in the hall at registration, he brought me to his office. Mr. Blackbourne”
“seemed to notice touching as much as I did. If they grabbed”
“She's new. She's going to be interested in stuff."
"I got that, Sherlock, thank you.”
“F***k thinking, thinking hurts the team, just jump.”
“What is the stage? It's a place, baby, you know, where people play at being serious, a place where they act comedies. We've got to act a comedy now, dead serious.”
“Some people standby you in your darkest hour while others walk away; only a select few march towards you and become even closer friends.”
“Ann, I love you. I hope my car starts. I hope the sink isn't plugged up. I'm glad I didn't fuck a groupie. I'm glad I'm not very good at getting into bed with strange females. I'm glad I'm an idiot. I'm glad I don't know anything. I'm glad I haven't been murdered. When I look at my hands and they are still on my wrists, I think to myself, I am lucky.”
“It seems strange to me that mechanical progress always seems to leave the slower demands of elegance far behind.”

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.
