“You thought I was a werewolf?" Dervish asks.
"Yes" I answer hollowly.
"You ass.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Lord Loss
“Stick it up your crack, you warped son of a mutant b*tch!”
― Darren Shan, quote from Lord Loss

― Darren Shan, quote from Lord Loss
“You should take more pride in your appearance,” I tell him. “You'll never attract girls with an ugly mug like that.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Lord Loss

― Darren Shan, quote from Lord Loss
“If I had an ordinary illness, I'm sure they could fix me. But I've seen demons rip my world to pieces. Nobody believes that, so nobody knows what I'm going through. I'm alone. I always will be. That's my life now. That's just the way it is.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Lord Loss
“If you don't choose the road you're gonna walk, sooner or later someone else'll do that choosing for you.”
― Victoria Forester, quote from The Girl Who Could Fly
“Then again, there’s nothing simple about Will. I think back to what he can do—bend earth, resist shading, his immense strength—and it’s glaringly inaccurate to consider him a human. But then I can’t think of him as a draki either. And this strikes me as sad. Will doesn’t belong anywhere. Not among humans. Not among draki.
But he belongs with me. The conviction is still there, as senseless and dangerous as always, seeping into my bones, my heart. A fact I wouldn’t change even if I could.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Hidden
“Sometimes when you're sad, it's easier to be angry.”
― Ilsa J. Bick, quote from Ashes
“Time gnaws and wears away; it separates; it flies. And by virtue of separation--by separating man from his pain or from the object of his pain--time cures.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, quote from Being and Nothingness
“The only thing we don’t know is the name of the boy who started the fire. Somebody knows it, of course, but a decision was made to keep the identity secret. The message: we’re a town. We’re in this together. Let’s not point a finger. Let’s fix the problem.”
― Vicki Myron, quote from Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
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.
