― Nancy Gideon, quote from Masked by Moonlight

― Nancy Gideon, quote from Masked by Moonlight

― Nancy Gideon, quote from Masked by Moonlight
“Thinking he was asleep, she vowed quietly, "I'll keep you safe, Max."
His reply was a rumbled whisper. "You're my every dream, Charlotte”

“I stared at the phone. I’d had to do it. Had to. So why did my stomach feel tight? Why did I have the urge to call Jean-Claude and warn him? Was it the marks, or was Richard right? Did I love Jean-Claude in some strange, twisted way? God help me, I hoped not.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, quote from Circus of the Damned
“Sheriff Mossberg was one of those people who never stop speaking until
they are finished, so by this time he was saying: “Do you understand
these rights?”
“No, sir! Mi ne komprenas Dumbtalk!”
― L.J. Smith, quote from Shadow Souls
“This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their country!" he said.
"We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!”
― Dr. Seuss, quote from Horton Hears a Who!
“Tell me, Laurel, what
do you know of erosion?”
Laurel couldn’t imagine what this had to do with anything, but she answered anyway. “Like when water or
wind wears away the ground?”
“That’s right. Given enough time, wind and rain will carry the tallest mountain into the sea. But,” he said,
raising a finger, “a hillside covered in grass will resist erosion, and a riverbank may be held in place by
bushes and trees. They spread their roots,” he said, extending his hands with his story, “and grab hold. And
though the river will pull at the soil, if the roots are strong enough, they will prevail. If they cannot, they
will eventually be carried away too.”
― Aprilynne Pike, quote from Spells
“I don't want to just see someone's face; I want to know his shadow, too.
—Jude”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Never Fade
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.
