“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
“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.”

“Nu de Brangien cea credincioasă, ci de ei însuși au a se teme iubiții. Însă cum să stea de veghe inimile lor bete de dragoste? Iubirea îi îmboldește, așa cum setea îl repede pe cerb către râu, la ananghie, ori tot așa precum, după o lungă înfometare, șoimul slobozit se lasă pe pradă. Vai! dragostea nu se poate tănui.”
― Joseph Bédier, quote from The Romance of Tristan and Iseult
“ОФИЦИАЛНО ПИСМО
Имам честта да Ви уведомя за следните факти, на които ми се удаде възможността да бъда колкото безпристрастен, толкова и потресен свидетел.
На днешния ден, около обед, аз се намирах на платформата на един автобус, който се движеше по улица Курсел към площад Шампере. Споменатият автобус беше пълен – даже повече от пълен, бих казал, предвид, че кондукторът бе превишил правата си, подтикван от прекомерно добродушие, което впоследствие прерасна в снизходителност. На всяка спирка напиращите пътници, които слизаха и се качваха, не пропускаха случая да предизвикат известна блъсканица, която принуди един от присъстващите да възроптае, макар и не без боязън. Длъжен съм обаче да отбележа, че той отиде да седне при първа възможност.
В същия ред на мисли бих искал да прибавя към този кратък разказ следното: по стечение на обстоятелствата впоследствие забелязах въпросния пътник в компанията на една личност, която не успях да идентифицирам; разговорът, който водеха оживено, явно засягаше въпроси от естетически характер.
Имайки предвид тези обстоятелства, Ви умолявам, господине, да бъдете така добър и да ми посочите изводите, които следва да извлека от случилото се, както и поведението, към което да се придържам в по-нататъшния си живот.
В очакване на Вашия отговор Ви моля, господине, да приемете моите най-искрени почитания.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style
“It's unfair how the kids who are starving for attention tended to be so annoying that people had no inclination to give it to them.”
― Lauren Myracle, quote from Shine
“It is a mystery to civilized men how lost boys and girls can adapt to life in the wild, but children are capable of a great deal more than men give them credit for.”
― Christopher Daniel Mechling, quote from Peter: The Untold True Story
“Was that what she meant? Why she cried? Because he was an animal afraid to leave its cage, no words to say what he thought, no thoughts but muddled mad stupid thoughts?”

rockBookQuoters 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.
