“A cat understands how to be pleasant in the morning. He doesn't talk.”
“And if they don't believe us, I can give them the ghost eyes, you can go all big and threatening, Farmer can do his cracknob simpleton, and my lady can don her nobleness. We'll do all right.”
“Sweetheart, never listen to what my enemies say. They're very confused people. I know they are because I've spent years making them that way.”
“Just because I'm no jaw clacker doesn't mean there should be a ruction put up whenever I have sommat to say.”
“I want to marry her, when I grow up to be a man.”
“I met the oddest little fellow today, Alan of Trebond.”

'If she fell on the steps, they would never be able to put her together again', he replied.”
“He has artistry," he repeated. "Because that's what it takes to blow things up. And cook his arm.”
“If Cape wasn't your last name, what was your real one?" I asked, deathly curious now. "Ahhhh," he complained. "Pincas Huckleburr.”
“He liked me to help him when he did things. He explained what I didn't know, warned me when to stand aside, never told me to get out of his way because he could do it faster, and thanked me for helping. There were moments when he needed me to rescue him, and he never blamed me for it, or got angry about it.”
“You get too excited over big flashes, Tunstall. Mages rely on that to make you think they have more power than you.”
“Turnstall's view of what men could and couldn't do was sometimes odd. Our old parter Goodwin and I agreed that there was no manly or unwomanly, only what you chose to do.”
“Nalla blinked and waved his finger and transformed him: Everything stopped as she moved not just his hand, but his heart.”
“I believe I have several times requested you not to call Rupert 'imbecile', infant."

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.
