“I’ve loved you every second of this life, and if I died, I’d love you every second of the next.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Marked
“No. Because you’ve been mine your entire life, and I’m tired of waiting.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Marked
“Your path isn’t an easy one, sweetheart. But it might just end up being spectacular.” She turned brilliant blue eyes on her daughter. “You have to fight for what you want, and I know you’ll win. Every damn time.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Marked
“Hold on, and when we get to your home, stay out of the way when your father tries to kill me.”

“Fate and destiny had held enough power over Janie for this lifetime, and she was done waiting for the sky to fall.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Marked
“Janie?” he whispered against her nape, his breath warm. A shiver wound through her entire body. Her nipples peaked, and her abdominal muscles clenched. “What?” “I’m sorry I’m not who you thought.” His lips moved against her skin. She forced instant need down along with a definite groan. “I like who you are.” He chuckled. “You do not.” “Yes, I do. You’re strong and loyal. I just wish you’d share.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Marked
“A pair of workman’s brogans encased my feet, and for trousers I was furnished with a pair of pale blue, washed-out overalls, one leg of which was fully ten inches shorter than the other. The abbreviated leg looked as though the devil had there clutched for the Cockney’s soul and missed the shadow for the substance.”
― Jack London, quote from The Sea Wolf
“In the darkness of the cave, there is a light inside her eyes that makes my heart beat faster. I know the emotions I see there are also reflected in my own gaze though I have never felt this way before. Beh softly repeats the same three sounds, followed by my name-sound.”
― Shay Savage, quote from Transcendence
“His lines had been honed over centuries, passed down through generations, for poor people needed certain lines; the script was always the same, and they had no option but to beg for mercy.”
― Kiran Desai, quote from The Inheritance of Loss
“I'm trying to speak--to write-the truth. I"m trying to be clear. I'm not interested in being fancy, or even original. Clarity and truth will be plenty, if I can only achieve them.”
― Octavia E. Butler, quote from Parable of the Sower
“I didn’t do it to you, I did it to her. Maybe
your past self thinks it’s funny.”
“She doesn’t.”
“That’s not my fault. Besides, I’m not a mind
reader. You expect me to realize you’re
speaking on behalf of all Lucindas ever, every time you talk.
You never said anything about not razzing
your past lives. It’s all in good fun. For me, anyway.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Fallen in Love
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.
