“Sometimes, before you make any plans or resolutions, before you declare your heroic intent to persevere, you just have to cry.”
― Jaclyn Dolamore, quote from Magic Under Glass
“I furrowed my eyebrows."Are you looking at my bosom, sir?"
The eyes snapped back up. "At such a serious moment? What do you take me for?"
"A rogue, I believe." I tried not to smile.”
― Jaclyn Dolamore, quote from Magic Under Glass

“They were full of mysteries and secrets, like... like poems turned into landscapes."
"'Poems turned into landscapes.'" he murmured with a slight smile. "And what of Vestenveld's gardens? Do you see poems in them?"
"Your gardens are like your country's poetry. Very frilly and organized.”

“His name is, uh, Ninny.” At Mark’s look he added, “A sort of pet or stable name.” Its name is Fat Ninny. You edited it. Ha. “So what do I do? Stand here and yell ‘Here, Ninny, Ninny’?” He felt a fool already. “Three times.” “What?” “Miles always repeated the name three times.” The horse was standing across the pasture, its ears up, looking at them. Mark took a deep breath, and in his best Barrayaran accent called, “Here, Ninny, Ninny, Ninny. Here, Ninny, Ninny, Ninny!” The”

“I love you - broken in pieces, whole, however. No matter what the future brings, no matter what was in the past.”
― Myra McEntire, quote from Hourglass
“Osebnost se zanima zase. Rada ima vznemirjenje. Ni nujno, da je odgovorna, skrbna ali ljubeča. Duša je energija univerzalne ljubezni, modrosti in sočutja. Ustvarja s temi energijami. Osebnost razume moč kot nekaj zunanjega in jo zaznava kot tekmovanja, grožnje, dobitke in izgube ter jih primerja z drugimi. Ko se uglasite z svojo osebnostjo, daste moč kraljestvu petih čutov, zunanjim okoliščinam in predmetom. Sami si odvzemate notranjo moč. Ko se začnete zavedati svojega duhovnega jaza in izvora, svoje nesmrtnosti, ko izberete in živite v skladu s prvim in šele nato s fizičnim, zapolnite vrzel, ki obstaja med osebnostjo in dušo. Doživljati začnete duhovno moč.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul
“Loving this woman was either going to kill him or make his life richer than he’d ever imagined.”
― Karen Witemeyer, quote from To Win Her 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.
