“I shall stay and tell my tale, hope that it may serve some purpose, that eyes shall see it and learn, that the future will not repeat the mistakes of the past. That is my prayer, but what use is prayer to a god that has abandoned all things . . .”
― John Gwynne, quote from Malice
“Come, boy, it is time for a lesson. Let me teach you the power of words,”

“Storm. I shall call her Storm.”
― John Gwynne, quote from Malice
“The mountains were gone, replaced by a lush green vale. A river flowed out of the mountains, twisting in great curves through the vale until it”
― John Gwynne, quote from Malice
“Both the brave man and the coward feel the same. The only difference between them is that the brave man faces his fear, does not run.”

“Porque, enfim, podemos fugir de tudo, não de nós próprios.”
― José Saramago, quote from Baltasar and Blimunda
“Victor patted my hand. 'I like you, Sky. You're a fighter.'
'I am, aren't I? Hear that, Zed? No more bambi comparisons. I'm a Rottweiler -with a temper.'
'A very small Rottweiler,' said Zed, still not convinced.”

“THE FRIENDS DON'T LIST
Because I like you too much to sleep with you”
― R.K. Lilley, quote from Bad Things
“Don't cry."
"How can I not?" I asked him. "You just said you loved me."
"Well, why else did you think all of this was happening?" He set the book aside to wrap his arms around me. "The Furies wouldn't be trying to kill you if I didn't love you."
"I didn't know," I said. Tears were trickling down my cheeks, but I did nothing to try to stop them. His shirt was absorving most of them. "You never said anything about it. Every time I saw you, you just acted so... wild."
"How was I supposed to act?" he asked. "You kept doing things like throwing tea in my face.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Abandon
“Почти всеки ден, от години вече, взема в ръка перото и пише. Няма имена и няма адреси, които да сложи на пликовете - но има един живот за разказване. И на кого, ако не на нея? Той мисли, че когато се срещнат, ще бъде хубаво да положи в скута ѝ кутия от махагон, пълна с писма и да ѝ каже
- Чаках те.
Тя ще отвори кутията и бавно, когато поиска, ще чете писмата едно по едно и проследявайки по обратния ѝ път километрова нишка синьо мастило, ще прегърне годините - дните, миговете, - които този мъж, преди още да я познава, вече ѝ е подарил.
Или може би просто ще обърне кутията и слисана пред смешния снеговалеж от писма, ще се усмихне, казвайки на този мъж
- Ти си луд.
И завинаги ще го обикне.”
― Alessandro Baricco, quote from Ocean Sea

The ZahirBookQuoters 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.
