“If you're passionate about something, give it your all, and you will find happiness.”
― Shane Dawson, quote from It Gets Worse: A Collection of Essays
“I'm here to tell you that it gets worse. It really does. The problems you have as a kid will seem ridiculous when you get older because bigger and worse problems will come along. But you will learn to deal with them easier as you grow up, or, like me, you'll just stop giving a shit. So yes, it gets worse, but you know what gets better? Your tolerance for the bullshit.”
― Shane Dawson, quote from It Gets Worse: A Collection of Essays
“Now this isn't meant to make anyone feel like college is a waste of time, because for so many people it's not. But don't go because you feel like you have to. If your heart isn't in it, then why spend four years of your life stuck somewhere you don't want to be?”
― Shane Dawson, quote from It Gets Worse: A Collection of Essays
“All those years I had thought my first choice would be Sour Patch Kids but then I realized God had a different plan for me. Peanut butter and chocolate. Praise the Lord.”
― Shane Dawson, quote from It Gets Worse: A Collection of Essays
“Isn’t that weird how you never see a fat kid eat? We always do it in private, as if we are fooling anyone. How sad. As”

“And nowadays, I keep my promises.”
― Shane Dawson, quote from It Gets Worse: A Collection of Essays

“- Obedecer à sociedade? ... - replicou a marquesa, mostrando-se horrorizada. - É daí, senhor, que provêm todos os males. Deus não fez nem uma só lei para a nossa desgraça. Porém, os homens, reunindo-se, falsearam a sua obra. Nós, as mulheres, somo mais maltratadas pela civilização do que fomos pela natureza. Esta impõe-nos penas físicas que os homens não suavizaram, e a civilização desenvolveu sentimentos que eles enganam incessantemente. A natureza sufoca os seres fracos, os homens condenam-nos a viver para lhes oferecerem uma constante desgraça. O casamento, instituição em que hoje se funda a sociedade, faz-nos sentir todo o seu peso: para o homem a liberdade, para as mulheres os deveres. Nós lhes devemos toda a nossa vida, eles devem-nos apenas raros instantes. (...) Pois bem, o casamento, tal como hoje se efetua, afigura-se-me uma prostituição legal. Daí provieram todos os meus sofrimentos. (...) Fui a própria autora do mal, tendo desejado esse casamento.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from A Woman Of Thirty
“forgiveness is selfish. We give it not because it’s earned, but because it’s what we need. To find peace. To be whole.”
― Emma Chase, quote from Twisted
“I want my home to be your home, my bed to be your bed. I want your nighttime heat to be within arm's reach.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Finding Eden
“Is that not what a commander must do, earn respect, give them discipline and . . . love them?”
― Jeff Shaara, quote from Gods and Generals
“everybody is resting on a set of interpretations, and we need to be honest about it.”

The DivideBookQuoters 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.
