“If guys don't open doors for you, then they aren't worth your time.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Misbehaving
“As the music played over the speakers and the waterfall in the pool filled the silence around us, I knew that, without a doubt, I had just been ruined.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Misbehaving
“I smashed all the windows in my ex-boyfriend’s truck.” “You did what?” I couldn’t have heard her correctly. That did not happen in real life. Country songs, yes. Real life, no way.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Misbehaving
“I could tell she was one of those ridiculously gorgeous southern blondes. It was like the South had some special ingredient to raise them like that down here.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Misbehaving
“Jason Stone is your Logan. He’s wealthy and impressive and handsome. He’s a fairy tale. But don’t get serious. Guard your heart.” I let out a frustrated sigh and dropped my arms. “Why are you calling him my Logan?” I asked. “Gilmore Girls, sweetheart. Gilmore Girls. If you had bothered to watch it with me like I asked you several times, you would know what I mean. Hank is your Dean. He wasn’t meant for you either. He was just the first heartbreak you keep going back to. Now you’ve met your Logan. It’s a shame, though. I wish you’d met your Jess next.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Misbehaving
“My grin was feral, matching my savage best friend’s.”
― Scarlett Dawn, quote from King Cave
“I'll put her in charge of the puppies. I've twelve this week that need tending. How does that suit you?"
Leeli's mouth hung open. She tried to say something but instead crumpled to the floor. She had fainted with joy.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Monster in the Hollows
“roller coaster, not a flat go-cart track that just takes you around and around in a safe little circle.”
― quote from Miracles from Heaven: A Little Girl, Her Journey to Heaven, and Her Amazing Story of Healing
“I shall be dumped where the weed decays, And the rest is rust and stardust”
― Vladimir Nabokov, quote from The Annotated Lolita
“Het meisje struikelde verbaasd opzij en sprong toen langs hen als een lichtvoetig hert. Ze had een wijde geborduurde bloes aan en een lange rok die dichtgeknopt was in de taille en een split had tot halverwege haar dij. Haar fonkelende, smaragdgroene ogen pasten precies bij de jaden ketting die om haar nek stuiterde... Toen ze de grot uit waren geklommen, keek Marika Jake even recht aan. Het zonlicht flitste als smaragdgroen vuur uit haar ogen, die een mengeling van nieuwsgierigheid en plezier lieten zien.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow
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.
