“Even people who counted their blessings never counted them in the morning. For one thing, there wasn't time.”
― Lisa Scottoline, quote from Look Again
“Bad things are like waves. They're going to happen to you, and there's nothing you can do about it. They're part of life, like waves are a part of the ocean. If you're standing on the shoreline, you don't know when the waves are coming. But they'll come. You gotta make sure you get back to the surface, after every wave. That's all.”
― Lisa Scottoline, quote from Look Again
“It's the Snickers bars. Snickers equal romance.”
― Lisa Scottoline, quote from Look Again
“Writing had always helped her, before. It always clarified her feelings and her thoughts, and she never felt like she could understand something fully until the very minute that she'd written about it, as if each story was one she told herself and her readers, at the same time.”
― Lisa Scottoline, quote from Look Again
“Night came early to this neighborhood, the sun fleeing the sky, leaving heaven black and blue.”

“Es extremadamente listo, considerando lo estúpido que es.”
― Frederik Pohl, quote from Gateway
“Yakında kendi kişiliklerimizden ve kişiselliklerimizden korkmaya başlayacağız, çünkü onların hiç de sonuna kadar bizim olmadıkları, bizler için apaçık olacak. Ve “Ben buna inanıyorum – ben bunu hissediyorum – ben böyleyim – ben bunu savunuyorum,” diye bağırıp çağırmak yerine, yumuşak başlıkla “Beni buna inandırıyor ki – bana bunu hissettiriyor ki – bana bunu söyletti, yaptırdı, düşündürdü ki,” diyeceğiz. Ozan kendi şarkısını hor görecek. Önder kendi buyruğu karşısında zangır zangır zangırdayacak. Rahip sunaktan ürkecek ve anne de oğluna sadece ilkeleri değil, fakat onu boğmasınlar diye onları atlatabilme becerisini de aşılayacak.”
― Witold Gombrowicz, quote from Ferdydurke
“When I've seen you go into an empty room I've sometimes wanted to open the door suddenly, but I've been afraid to in case I found nobody there.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, quote from Theatre
“Illium, with his wings of silver-kissed blue and a face designed to seduce both males and females, not to mention his ability to do the most impossible acrobatics in the air, would provide a worthy diversion. The fact that he’d decided to ditch half his clothing was just icing on the cake.”

Geek GirlBookQuoters 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.
