“—Él es mi alma gemela, es mi mejor amigo. La única persona que realmente me conoce, cuando estoy con él, ya no pienso en todas esas cosas vacías, ya no pienso en el dinero, ni lo que piensen los demás. —Mis padres me miraron como si estuviera loca. —Desde que él entro a mi vida, siento que me he vuelto mejor persona, y yo sé que pase lo que pase él siempre va a aceptarme y no importa lo que pase, siempre voy a amarlo. Nada puede cambiar eso, no importa si me quitan todo lo que poseo, no lo voy a dejar.”
― Lolo Mayaya, quote from Play With Me

“I felt ancient and exhausted. I felt like a prisoner within myself and as if I was just watching a movie that was playing before my eyes. I just wanted all of it to end and disappear; I wanted to disappear.”
― J.M. Northup, quote from A Prisoner Within
“He'd changed in the ten years since he'd been gone.He'd grown taller certainly, and his body was thick with muscle, but his white blond hair was now cut close to the skull, and he had tattoos peeking out from both the collar and the cuffs of his white shirt.”
― Laura Wright, quote from Branded
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.
