“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
“Now sod off back to your own world, you motherless scum, and save your threats for those who care. ”
― 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
“But you're like me,” he says. “An outsider. Different. A freak. We're both weird, which is why we get along.”
― 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
“Sometimes the embers are better than the campfire.”
― Stephen King, quote from The Green Mile
“I regret nothing. No woman with any self-respect would have done less. The question of good and evil will always be one of philosophy's most intriguing problems, up there with the problem of existence itself. I'm not quarreling with your choice of issues, only with your intellectually diminished approach. If evil means to be self-motivated, to live on one's own terms, then every artist, every thinker, every original mind, is evil. Because we dare to look through our own eyes rather than mouth cliches lent us from the so-called Fathers. To dare to see is to steal fire from the Gods. This is mankind's destiny, the engine which fuels us as a race. ”
― Janet Fitch, quote from White Oleander
“Gale is mine. I am his. Anything else is unthinkable.”
― Suzanne Collins, quote from Catching Fire
“He scanned my face with careful hope in his eyes.
“You love me?”
“It’s the tattoos,” I shrugged.
A wide smile stretched across his face, making his
dimple sink into his cheek.”
― Jamie McGuire, quote from Beautiful Disaster
“I hold my peace, sir? no;
No, I will speak as liberal as the north;
Let heaven and men and devils, let them all,
All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak.”
― William Shakespeare, quote from Othello
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.
