“Best friends are always together, always whispering and laughing and running, always at each other's house, having dinner, sleeping over. They are practically adopted by each other's parents. You can't pry them apart.”
― Jerry Spinelli, quote from Loser
“Because that's what you do, you stand up for your best friend. And you eat lunch with him and talk with him and share secrets and laugh a lot and go places and do stuff, and when you wake up in the morning, he's the first person you think of.”
― Jerry Spinelli, quote from Loser

“At this time in his life Zinkoff sees no difference between the stars in the sky and the stars in his mother's plastic Baggie. He believes that stars fall from the sky sometimes, and that his mother goes around collecting them like acorns. He believes she has to use heavy gloves and dark sunglasses because the fallen stars are so hot and shiny. She puts them in the freezer for forty-five minutes, and when they come out they are flat and silver and sticky on the back and ready for his shirts.”
― Jerry Spinelli, quote from Loser
“Like everyone else, he is the star of his own life.”

“It makes no difference whether you want the specifics of it or not; it is the vibrational essence of the subject of your attention that is attracted. That which you really, really want, you get—and that which you really, really do not want, you get.”

“СЛОЖНОДУМНО
Гъстонаселено се автотранспортирах в общоизвестното южнопарижко местонаправление и се самоозовах близкостоящ до един дълговрат плетеноширитен дръжми-шапковец. Гореописаният трагикомично слаботелесен нехранимайко с плиткодънна многозначителност умопомрачи еди-кого си с долуказаното: “Като целенасочено своеволничите, вие нееднократно злоупотребявате с телосложението ми!” След животрептущето си словоизлияние преждеговорившият правостоящ скорострелно се облагодетелства от междувременно обезлюдилата се едноместна автоседалка.
Подир двучасово времетраене мимоходом го лицесъзрях да площадосенлазарства с гологлав доброжелател, който нравоучително и чистосърдечно празнословеше: “Целесъобразно е да преокомплектоваш по-благоразумно полушубката си!” И умозаключително изсладкодумничи причинно-следствената взаимовръзка.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style
“You should be out stirring up trouble with your friends, not bothering with all them books you read. You know it's them books what make you talk funny.”

BloomBookQuoters 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.
