“I looked at Mr. McCommon, his hands smothering his face, his chest flinching. He had no idea that grief was a reward. That it only came to those who were loyal, to those who loved more than they were capable of. He had a garage, full of her belongings, and all I had was my guilt. It took on its own shape and smell and nestled in the pit of my body, and it would sleep and play and walk with me for decades to come.”

“Sometimes things that seem like good ideas in theory, in practice turn out to be the worst kinds of boneheaded blunders.”
― Jean Ferris, quote from Once Upon a Marigold
“NOTHING APPLIES, I print with the magnetized IBM pencil. What does apply, they ask later, as if the word "nothing" were ambiguous, open to interpretation, a questionable fragment of an Icelandic rune.”
― Joan Didion, quote from Play It as It Lays
“За нея най-важно бе да бъдем по-добри, по-умни и по-смели. Провалът беше невъзпитано куче, което трябваше да живее в чужда къща. А когато ние наистина се проваляхме, което се случваше често, тя го приемаше като лична обида. Тъжният неоспорим факт беше, че всички ние, взети заедно, не можехме да се наместим и на малкия й пръст нито по способности, нито по интелигентност. Нито един от нас не бе наследил нейните заложби. Факт, който много скоро стана очевиден за нас, но доста късно за нея. С течение на годините тя се превърна в безутешна нещастна жена, която от своя страна направи всички ни нещастни.”
― Rani Manicka, quote from The Rice Mother
“I looked into her eyes. "Mom, who do you pray to?"
I just pray, Daniel. That's all.”

“FIFTH GRADE WAS different. That was the year to get ready for middle school. Fifth grade meant passing classes. It meant no morning recess. It meant real letter grades on your report cards. But most of all, it meant Mrs. Granger.”

The Candy Shop WarBookQuoters 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.
