“I loved you way before you ever had a chance to put a spell on me. I loved you at 'I've never been to Long Island,'" Zach said.
I couldn't keep a big goofy grin from my face.
I loved you at 'I like seals,'" I admitted. He grinned back.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx


“See? Anger can be healthy. When the time comes–and it will come–remember that. And what I said. Embrace your powers–love yourself the way Nature made you, and you will prevail. Always.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx


“Zach had rushed down to rescue me without remembering to put a shirt on...Maybe I had died and gone to heaven.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx


“I've never even been to Long Island”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx


“He took hold of my arm, and swung me around. “For one thing, I still owe you eternal servitude for saving my life, remember? And for another, the subway station’s that way, stupid. Let’s go.” There isn’t anything in the least romantic about being called stupid. Really. Especially since I knew there was no way Zach would ever be interested in a red-haired, violin-playing preacher’s daughter when there was the remotest chance he could have gorgeous, physical-therapist-in-training Petra. So”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx

― Meg Cabot, quote from Jinx

“...اینجور اتفاق ها مثل طوفان است. در یک لحظه خیس آب می شوی و از پا میفتی و هیچ کاری هم از دستت برنمی آید. اما لحظه ای بعد آفتاب درمی آید و بااینکه هیچ چیز را فراموش نکرده ای تنها چیزی که باقی می ماند محبت است نه غم و غصه”
― Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, quote from Address Unknown


“من دیگر آن آدمی نیستم که دو سال پیش بودم. حالا اگر به من می‌گفتند اجازه دارم یک انسان را به عنوان همنشین آرزو کنم، حتماً دلم می‌خواست زن سالمندی باشد، یک زن زیرک و شوخ‌طبع که بتوانم هر از گاهی به او بخندم. هنوز خیلی دلم هوای خنده می‌کند. ولی حتماً او هم قبل از من می‌مرد و من دوباره تنها می‌شدم و وضع بدتر از وقتی می‌شد که هرگز با او آشنا نشده بودم. در آن صورت باید بهای گزافی برای خندیدن می‌پراختم. بعد هم مجبور می‌شدم به یاد او هم باشم و این دیگر بیش از حد تحملم بود. اکنون هم تنها پوست نازکی هستم که به روی کوهی از خاطرات کشیده باشند. دیگر بس است. اگر این پوست شکافته شود، چه بر سر من خواهد آمد؟”
― Marlen Haushofer, quote from The Wall


“Anger is simply momentary madness, and sometimes there is strength in silence. After all, he is only throwing words, not stones.”
― Jeff Shaara, quote from Rise to Rebellion


“My Prince Charming turned out to be the villain of my fairy tale. ”
― J.M. Darhower, quote from Monster in His Eyes


“It’s bad enough . . . when a country gets colonized, but when the people do as well! That’s the end, really, that’s the end.”
― Tsitsi Dangarembga, quote from Nervous Conditions

About BookQuoters

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.
