― 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
“Everything that makes the world like it is now will be gone. We'll have new rules and new ways of living. Maybe there'll be a law not to live in houses, so then no one can hide from anyone else, you see.”

“Be proud of your pain, for you are stronger than those with none.”
― Lois Lowry, quote from Gathering Blue
“_وروحك؟أين تظنين أنها ذهبت؟
_لابد أنها تهيم على الأرض مثل أرواح كثيرة اخرى،تبحث عن أحياء ليصلوا من أجلها
ربما إنها تكرهني للمعاملة السيئة التي عاملتها بها،ولكن هذا لايقلقني لقد استرحت من عادتها الذميمة بالتأنيب.فقد كانت تملأ بالمرارة حتى القليل مما كنت آكله،وتجعل ليالي لا تطاق وهي تملؤها بأفكار مقلقة عن صور لمحكومين بالعذاب الأبدي وأشياء من هذا القبيل.وعندما رقدت لأموت،رجتني أن أنهض وأتابع جرجرة الحياة،وكأنها مامتزال تنتظر معجزة ماتنظف خطاياي.لكنني لم أكبد نفسي ولو مشقة المحاولة،وقلت لها: هنا انتهت الطريق.ما عادت لدي قوة للمزيد
وفتحت فمي لتخرج منه.ومضت.وأحسست بخيط الدم الذي كانت ترتبط به إلى قلبي وهو يسقط بين يدي .
دوروتيا”
― Juan Rulfo, quote from Pedro Páramo
“You were the centre of my universe and everything else spun around you.”
― Rainbow Rowell, quote from Carry On
“What is the use of stories that arent even true?”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from Haroun and the Sea of Stories
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.
