“People who care about each other don’t hurt each other or make each other feel small.”
― Lisa McMann, quote from Island of Fire
“And so it was that in the midst of chaos and color and light, in the glorious rebirth of a magical world, there remained two small vessels dark and drained. And those vessels were the heart and the soul of a brokenhearted young mage, sobbing alone in the sand.”
― Lisa McMann, quote from Island of Fire
“-I'm not creative like you.-
-Of course you are!-
-I don't sing or draw or act or play an instrument. I can't make things.-
-That's not what 'creative' means, you know. Creativity is in everything.-”
― Lisa McMann, quote from Island of Fire
“On the cool stone floor of their prison, Samheed and Lani huddled together to try to sleep.”

“Which was safer, going forward or going back? I didn't know”
― Amanda Sun, quote from Ink
“It was as if she lived only on clear, salty air, and when the day came for her to pass away, she would probably do exactly that. Just take a step to one side. Dissolve into a north-westerly wind as it whirled around the lighthouse at North Point, then out across the sea.”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, quote from Harbor
“عندما يخرج الروائيون عن الموضوع نشعر بالملل. هذه هي شكوانا، على أي حال عندما نشعر بالملل من رواية ما، نقول عنها أنها خرجت عن الموضوع، لكن هناك الكثير من الأسباب التي تجعل رواية ما تتوقف عن إمتاعنا. الأوصاف الطويلة للطبيعة تجعل بعض القراء يتثاءبون؛ البعض يشعرون بالملل لأنه لا يوجد ما يكفي عن الجنس، وآخرون لأنه يوجد أكثر من اللازم؛ والبعض يتضايق من القدر الضئيل من الوصف، والبعض يتضايق من المؤلفين الذين يدخلون في تفاصيل أكثر من اللازم حول خلفيات عائلية مضطربة. وما يجعل رواية ما شديدة الجاذبية ليس هو حضور أو غياب الخواص المذكورة أعلاه، إنها مهارة الروائي وأسلوبه وبتعبير آخر يمكن أن تكون الرواية عن أي شيء. دعونا لا ننسى أيضا أن هذا "الأي شيء" يتبع منطقا محددا. ربما يستطيع كاتب أن يضع أي شيء وكل شيء داخل رواية، ولكن حتى بهذه الطريقة فإننا نحن القراء سرعان ما نصبح ملولين ونفقد صبرنا عندما يشرد المؤلف عن الموضوع، ويأخذ وقتا أطول من اللازم لكي يقول ما يريد أن يقوله أو يضمن تفاصيل لا حاجة إليها.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Other Colors: Essays and A Story
“Incredible. Humans are such irrational creatures. So here you sit,a small space filled with demons that could tear you limb from limb as easy as pulling wings off a butterfly and you're scared of the helicopter crashing, which has a less than 2 percent chance... tell me Keira girl, what do you think the percentage is of a vampire sucking a human dry?”

Last Days of SummerBookQuoters 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.
