“Be nice. Funny. Smart. Generous. Kind. Feed your body with good food. Your soul with good friends. And your mind with new things.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Love Me
“Dawson: Do you want wood from me?
Me: Wood? Seriously, Dawson? Is sex ALL you think about? No. Right now, I do not want your wood.
Dawson: That’s not what I meant. I meant woo-ed or however the hell you spell it.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Love Me
“Boots, love isn't like a cute pair of shoes. You can't try it on to see if it fits and walk out the door wearing it.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Love Me
“That’s what it’s like with Aiden. When he kisses me, I feel like I can see our future. It’s like he has the power to send me mental messages with his mouth. His mouth. The source of all his power.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Love Me
“Hey,” I say, my voice lowered, so I don’t wake up Katie. “Hey, Boots,” he says dreamily. I swear I want to wake up to that every morning of my life. To the sound of, “Hey, Boots.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Love Me
“I love this broken, broken creature, and damn him to the pits of hell for making me feel it when I should hate him all over again. If I could reason or suppress it away, I would. If I could crush it by sheer force of will, I would.”
― Laura Thalassa, quote from The Queen of Traitors
“You expected too much of me’ I told him, and he bowed his head. ‘I don’t know where you brought your grand ideas of men and women from. I don’t want to know’ I added hastily. But I must have been a prettier word that this’ I said: ‘are you quite sure that you were wise in leaving it?”
― J.M. Barrie, quote from Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
“When a member of the family leaves or dies, it changes the dynamics of a family. People move and shift, take up places they either wanted to have or are forced into roles they never wanted. It happens without anybody noticing, but it’s shifting all the time.”
― Cecelia Ahern, quote from The Marble Collector
“I take a swig from Milo’s flask and hand it back to him. He screws the top back on. He inherited the flash from his grandfather and stole the liquor from his mother. The circle of life.”
― Courtney Summers, quote from Fall for Anything
“هل تسمح لى أن أناديك بالأحمق؟ أجل، لا تغضب، أنت أحمق برأيي. وهل تعرف مصدر حماقتك؟ إنها طيبتك! طيبتك المثيرة للسخرية!”
― Milan Kundera, quote from The Festival of Insignificance
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.
