“Becoming leader of this place had been his calling, but Liv had been his destiny.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen
“In that moment, lying there on the floor in agony, he realized that was why his feelings for Liv had so drastically changed. Earlier, she had actually gotten up and attacked one of the men, trying to protect him. Him. A complete bastard who never did anything for anyone.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen
“Thank you Liv… Thank you for being the only woman ever brave enough to love me.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen

“Solía seguir hablando de lo importante que es transformarte totalmente de vez en cuando. Sigo creyendo eso, pero ahora he añadido una advertencia: Interpreta tantos papeles como te sea posible, pero sé quién eres en el fondo. Soy una chica en mi corazón, pero interpretar a un chico me ayudó a ampliar y perfeccionar mi comprensión de lo que eso significa. Soy la Dra. Afrodita, una periodista seria, una actriz prometedora, una impulsiva adolescente... soy toda esa gente, y estoy segura de que seré muchas más antes de morir.”

“In a city, with all of its enclaves and boundaries, both real and imagined, it is impossible not to feel the presence of those who are not like you and impossible not to feel like an outsider.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Shadowhunters and Downworlders: A Mortal Instruments Reader
“As this is written, a sow bug crawls across a desk. If he is turned over on his back, one can observe the tremendous struggle he goes through to get on his feet again. During this interval he has a ‘purpose’ in his life. When he succeeds, one can almost see the look of victory on his face. Off he goes, and one can imagine him telling his tale at the next meeting of sow bugs, looked up to by the younger generation as an insect who has made it. And”

“Youth, you son of a bitch, where did you go?”
― Charles Bukowski, quote from Hollywood
“I told Tamsin that I didn’t believe in happily ever after anymore. I believed my heart was broken beyond repair and that anyone this broken could not possibly be happy and, therefore, never have a happy ending. I believed Trik was gone, that he had chosen a life of darkness over me. Turns out I was wrong, not about the happy part, but about Trik. He had chosen me. He saved me, or what was left of me. But I have not chosen him. I can’t. He is not what I crave and what I crave I cannot have. So I can’t choose Trik, and all that is left for me to choose is existence or death. Flip the coin, tails stares back at me. Death it is.”

Something From Tiffa...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.
