― Jennifer McMahon, quote from Don't Breathe a Word
“After all, if I started confiding my innermost problems to someone, I'd have to do something about them. And I'm not ready for that yet.”
― Kathleen Tessaro, quote from Elegance
“I wanted Sundays in wintry colours, the smell of soup drifting from the kitchen. I wanted our lives to be like other people's. I wanted everyone to have their place at the table, their time for the bathroom, their part in the domestic routine, for there be nothing to do by let time drift by.”
― Delphine de Vigan, quote from No and Me
“Премина един трамвай, сигурно беше първият, излязъл от депото, най-обикновен трамвай, като всички останали, избелял и стар – този трамвай може да ме е виждал как тичам, а след мен Кимет, когато изтичахме като пощръклели откъм площад „Диамант“. Нещо застана на гърлото ми, като зърно нахут, забило се в мъжеца. Зави ми се свят, затворих очи и вятърът, кой то направи трамваят, ме тласна напред, сякаш животът ми си отиваше. И при първата си крачка още виждах трамвая как преминава с голяма скорост и пуска червени и сини искри между колелата и релсите. Сякаш вървях в празно пространство , очите ми не виждаха, всеки миг си мислех, че ще потъна, пресякох, стиснала здраво ножа, без да виждам сини светлини. На отсрещната страна се обърнах и погледнах с очите си и душата си и не можех да повярвам, че е станало невъзможното. Бях пресякла. Вървях по предишния си живот, докато стигнах до стената на къщата, под покрития балкон…”

Wicked LovelyBookQuoters 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.
