“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”

“I guess we will,” I said, wondering how it had gotten to this: my cousin and me, fighting over who was the more powerful witch. I mean, talk about stupid. I”

“I like seals,” he said to me, as if to excuse the apparent oddness of his taking the au pair to the zoo. Hmmm.”

“The wheel of fortune that had once raised her so high had taken her into the utter depths.”
― Bernard Cornwell, quote from The Archer's Tale
“I think it's important to get pictures of things on your head. Even if they are wrong. And they pretty much always are.”

“He grinned, and the grin changed his face completely. Ty when he was still and expressionless had an intensity that fascinated Kit; when he was smiling, he was extraordinary.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Lord of Shadows
“La vanidad de este poeta se vio, pues, halagada por esta mujer como lo había sido por su madre, por su hermana y por David. Todos a su alrededor seguían levantando el pedestal imaginario en el que él se ponía. Mantenido en sus ambiciosas creencias por todo el mundo, tanto por sus amigos como por la rabia de sus enemigos, se movía en una atmósfera llena de espejismos. Las jóvenes imaginaciones son cómplices tan naturales de estas alabanzas e ideas, todo contribuye de tal modo a servir a un apuesto joven con futuro, que se hace necesaria más de una amarga y fría lección para disipar tales quimeras.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from Lost Illusions
“It is axiomatic that one death is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic.”
― Barbara Demick, quote from Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea
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.
