“Even people who counted their blessings never counted them in the morning. For one thing, there wasn't time.”
“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.”
“It's the Snickers bars. Snickers equal romance.”
“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.”
“Night came early to this neighborhood, the sun fleeing the sky, leaving heaven black and blue.”
“He’s an odd duck
but he’s a good kid, with a good heart.”
“Hypocrites,’ replied Cale, ‘I’ve come across a lot of them recently. I mean by that I understand now how many of them there are.”
“...Her neyse, Cyrus ve Val nerede?"
Emma gözlerini devirdi. "Noah, sana onu böyle çağırmamanı söylemiştim. Tanrı aşkına, kadın iki bin yaşında bir savaşçı, Denny's de çalışan bir garson değil."
Noah, sırıttı, kanepenin içine iyice gömülürken kollarını göğsünün üstünde birleştirdi. Uzun boylu, uzun bacaklı esmer kadını düşününce sırıtması şehvetli bir sırıtışa dönüştü. "Hey, o bana otuz yaşındaki seksi bir kadın gibi görünüyor ama."
Annesi kafasını iki yana sallayarak homurdandı. "O seni canlı canlı yer çocuğum."
"Doğru. Ama bu benim hoşuma gidebilir."
"Ah." Emma suratını ekşitip Noah'ın kafasına vurdu. "Annenle böyle konuşma.”
“It never seemed fair that just when you're old enough to do anything you want, you can't. You have to start working, so there's no time. And if there is time, you're not working, so there's no money.”
“It follows that they never understood Reginald, who came down late to breakfast, and nibbled toast, and said disrespectful things about the universe. The family ate porridge, and believed in everything, even the weather forecast.”
“Let no-one define how you see yourself...save God alone. See yourself through His eyes and His strength, and you'll see who you can be despite being who you are. But see yourself through your own eyes, and you'll be left to question, and to doubt, subject to the whims and wishes of others who will not have your best at heart.”
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.
