“To love someone so deeply means also that it will hurt a thousand times more when he disappoints or leaves you”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“He never leaves my side.
And I know he never will.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“I believe there’s someone out there for everyone,” he {Isaac} says, “and when you meet that person, sometimes you know right away they are who you were meant to be with. And sometimes, years can go by before you let yourself believe that the feeling you’ve had about a person for so long, is actually love. And what a waste that is.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“And when someone grows up knowing so little of what real love feels like, whether from family, or friends, or the love of a companion, that person starts to believe that they weren’t meant to be loved, that good things will never happen to them. They start to believe that whenever something good does happen, it’s inevitable that something bad will come along to replace it.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“I really would like to know how you managed to snag that one,” she adds, watching Isaac approach us from the parking lot. “Does he have a brother? Seriously -- I’ll take his second cousin.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“Because a storm is coming and I need to be prepared before it gets here.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“Wait, it's going to fall," I say, pointing to the banner. "Pull it tighter-there, yeah, see how loose it is?"
"A little to the left" Isaac mocks me, grinning. "A little to the right?"
I stick my tongue out at him.
"Better be careful with that thing," he jokes.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“I can’t sit through this thing with you next to me flashing your man cave the whole time.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“Don't, he says and then places his free hand underneath mine.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“Did the poet know how lucky he was, to have such beautiful words and a place to put them and keep them?”
― Ally Condie, quote from Matched
“This world, it is a tempest sometimes. But remember, the sun always rises again.”
― Brandon Sanderson, quote from The Way of Kings
“I asked her about life, and it was as if she rummaged around in a dusty chest to get me the answers.”
― Bernhard Schlink, quote from The Reader
“Y entonces recibió a la Muerte como si fuera una vieja amiga, y se marchó con ella de buen grado. Y así, como iguales, ambos se alejaron de la vida.”
― J.K. Rowling, quote from The Tales of Beedle the Bard
“Perhaps lovers aren't supposed to look down at the ground. That kind of story is told in symbols--and earth represents reality, and reality represents frustrations, chance illnesses, death, murder, and all kinds of other tragedies. Lovers are meant to look up at the sky, for up there no beautiful illusions can be trampled upon.”
― V.C. Andrews, quote from Flowers in the Attic
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.
