“You should be concerned about the state of your soul, not the state of your bank account.”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“The condom broke. I know how stupid that sounds. It's the reproductive version of the dog ate my homework.”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the patience not to strangle my mother-in-law, chop her into little pieces, and dump them down a sewer.”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“She thought of what it would be like to grow up without the one certainty that every baby deseved - when I'm hurt or cold or scared, someone will come and care for me - and how that absence could warp you so that you'd lash out at the people you loved, driving them away when all you wanted to do was pull them closer.”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“This is so much harder than I ever thought it would be...because the thing is, even if you're just working part-time, your boss is going to expect a full week's worth of work, no matter how understanding she is. That's just the nature of the working world-things have to get done, babies or not. And if you're like me-if you're like any woman who ever did well in school and did well at her job-you don't want to disappoint a boss. And you want to do a good job raising your baby...It's not like you think it's going to be”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“mooo," she said... "I mean mmmm," she moaned. Louder this time. Goddamn Dr. Seuss is ruining my sex life.”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“I don't like futons. They can't commit. I'm a bed! I'm a couch! I'm a bed! I'm a couch!”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“But I'll tell you a secret. You know what boys like? A woman who's happy with herself. Who's not making herself miserable with the Jane Fonda videotapes and complaining all the time about whether this part or that one's too big. And you know what else they like? She leaned in close, whispering into her granddaughter's ear. Good food.”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“Kau melakukan yang terbaik yang kau bisa. Itu yang dilakukan tiap ibu.”
― Jennifer Weiner, quote from Little Earthquakes
“You have to let people be who they want,” Terry said. “Even if it’s not what you want them to be.”

“Beh wakes slowly to my gentle touches on her neck, shoulder, and ear. For a moment, she rolls over and tucks her head into my chest. She pulls the fur up around her head and hides underneath it. My mate does not like waking up in the morning, and it makes me smile when she does this.”
― Shay Savage, quote from Transcendence
“All of the third-world flights docked here, families waiting days for their connections, squatting on the floor in big bacterial clumps, and it was a long trek to where the European-North American travelers came and went, making those brisk, no-nonsense flights with extra leg-room and private TV, whizzing over for a single meeting in such a manner that it was truly hard to imagine they were shitting-peeing, bleeding-weeping humans at all. Silk and cashmere, bleached teeth, Prozac, laptops, and a sandwich for their lunch named the Milano.”

“Y, en ese momento bajo las estrellas, los cuatro entendieron lo más simple. A veces, el amor necesita un impulso de sus ángeles de la guarda para mantener los pies sobre la tierra. Pero una vez se emprende el vuelo, deben confiar en sus propias alas, para subir a las más elevadas e inimaginables alturas en el cielo... y más allá,”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
“even though I knew I had a snowball’s chance in Hades with you.” She sniffed and wiped a tear with the back of her hand. “I just … I just wanted to give you something pure. It’s all I have. Had. Everything else about me is tainted by demon blood. But I had that. And it’s always been yours.”

AfterlifeBookQuoters 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.
