“I don’t think they’re really mad,” said Ivy. “You don’t?” They had seemed pretty mad to Bean. “They have to act mad so they’ll seem fair to your sister,”

“like we had the event instead of just”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Bed of Roses
“What I was trying to say,” he whispered, “is that I see you in everything. There isn’t a word for you that means enough, because you’re everything to me.”
― Veronica Rossi, quote from Into the Still Blue
“The happening and telling are very different things. This doesn’t mean that the story isn’t true,
only that I honestly don’t know anymore if I really remember it or only remember how to tell it. Language does this to our memories, simplifies, solidifies, codifies, mummifies. An off-told story is like a photograph in a family album. Eventually it replaces the moment it was meant to capture.”
― Karen Joy Fowler, quote from We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
“Experience was the most painful of teachers.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from See Me
“Усещам, че татко въздъхна с облекчение, въпреки че не се чува никакъв шум. Истината е, че атмосферата се разведрява винаги когато майка ми излезе от някоя стая, и се напряга всеки път, когато влезе някъде – така е. Майка ми е страхотен човек, обожавам я и бих дал всичко, за да е щастлива и спокойна, и ми се струва, че татко мисли абсолютно същото. Очите ни се срещат за миг над масата, на която сме закусили, си го казват. После татко става и започва да раздига масата, като си подсвирква, а аз се връщам в стаята си, да се облека.”
― Nancy Huston, quote from Fault Lines

Side Jobs: Stories f...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.
