― Mark Peter Hughes, quote from Lemonade Mouth
“Wen grinned and I felt a warm glow and an odd dizzy sensation. And then I remembered something my dad once wrote me about falling in love. He said the phrase was apt because falling is exactly what it can feel like, as if you've finally allowed yourself to let go of some safety bar you didn't even know you were clinging to, and suddenly you find yourself tumbling towards the exciting unknown.”
― Mark Peter Hughes, quote from Lemonade Mouth
“The thing is, my father has about as much rhythm as a drunken octopus […]”

― Mark Peter Hughes, quote from Lemonade Mouth
“It felt like one of those perfect moments where everything comes together. But like I said, I don't believe in accidents. Even if this strange, musical moment, the final result of a long chain of unlikely events, never came to anything else, it was meant to be.
Something new had been born.”
― Mark Peter Hughes, quote from Lemonade Mouth

“I guard the light-bringer,
And protect the dark-giver.
I live for the world-starte,
And die for the shadow-ender.
My blood, I offer freely.
My Threads, I offer wholly.
My eternal soul belongs to no one else.
Claim my Aether.
Guide my blade.
From now until the end.”
― Susan Dennard, quote from Truthwitch
“تقترن الثورة بالشباب. فبماذا يمكن أن تَعِد الثورة الراشدين؟ قد تَِعد بعضهم بزوال الحظوة، بينما تعد آخرين بالامتيازات، لكنها ليست امتيازات ذات بال، لأنّها لا تتعلّق إلا بالجانب الأكثر بؤساً من الحياة. فامتيازاتها تكون مقرونة بالشّك والعمل المضني وانقلاب عادات الحياة.
أما الشباب فأوفر حظاً :فهو غير مثقل بالأخطاء، والثورة تستطيع أن تشمله بحمايتها تماماً. ثم إن الشّك الذي يطبع فترات الثورة يشكّل بالنسبة إلى الشباب، مزيّة: لأن عالم الآباء هو الذي يتسرب إليه الشك: آه! ما أروع أن تَلِج عالم الراشدين حينما تنهار معاقلهم!”
― Milan Kundera, quote from Life is Elsewhere
“The staircase was deserted—the higher up the building the more reluctant were the residents to use the stairs, as if this in some way demeaned them.”
― J.G. Ballard, quote from High-Rise
“I think the truth to living fully is to appreciate what we have, day by day, regardless of what we know might come our way.”
― Lisa Tawn Bergren, quote from Torrent
“She has form," he said to himself, as he walked away through the grove - "that cannot be denied to her; but has she got feeling? I am afraid not. In fact, she is like most artists; she is all style, without any sincerity. She would not sacrifice herself for others. She thinks merely of music, and everybody knows that arts are selfish. Still, it must be admitted that she has some beautiful notes in her voice. What a pity it is that they do not mean anything, or do any practical good.”

Zlata's Diary: A Chi...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.
