“Don't look, part of his mind said. If you don't see trouble, it doesn't exist.
But it does, thought Arthur, fighting down the fear. Keep breathing slowly. You have to confront your fears. Deal with them.”
― Garth Nix, quote from Mister Monday
“Who can I trust?” Arthur blurted out. “Those who wish you well,” said the Old One. “Not those who wish to use you well. Be a player, not a pawn”

“She plucked a raspberry. Sweet juice, sweet pleasure. Within the tangle of tendrils, inside a blossom, a tiny bead was kisses and blessed by the sun, from which it took in light and warmth and heaven's rain imbued with the richness of the soil of France. All of the elements of the river world helped that bead to expand and multiply into sheer casings for sweet pulp, wedge together in a knobby globe until it released its juice in her mouth”
― Susan Vreeland, quote from Luncheon of the Boating Party
“Though the modern world may know a million secrets, the ancient world knew one - and that was greater than the million; for the million secrets breed death, disaster, sorrow, selfishness, lust, and avarice, but the one secret confers life, light, and truth.”

“- Имам къща – каза човекът, който бе забелязал движението на Жакмор и се усмихваше. – Дават ми храна. Дават ми злато. Много злато. Но нямам право да го харча. Никой нищо не иска да ми продава. Имам къща и много злато, но трябва да преглъщам срама на цялото село. Те ми плащат, за да имам угризения вместо тях. А всички злини и мръсотии, които вършат. За всичките им пороци. За всичките им престъпления. За пазара на старците. За изтезаваните животни. За чираците. И аз боклуците.
Той спря за миг.
- Но това не е интересно за вас – продължи той. – Да нямате намерение да оставате тук?
Последва дълго мълчание.
- Да – отвърна Жакмор. – Ще остана тук.
- Тогава ще станете като другите – каза човекът. – Вие също ще си живеете със спокойна съвест и ще хвърляте върху ми вашия срам. И ще ми давате злато. Но нищо няма да ми продавате срещу него.”
― Boris Vian, quote from Heartsnatcher
“Frowning, puzzled, I cross my arms over my chest. "Go to hell." His eyebrows lift as he draws near enough so that I can accept his offer of wine, and smell his pungent breath. " Not without you, my dear”

“It was like a tree had sprung up between them, a tree that was just too thick to throw their arms around.”

These Shallow GravesBookQuoters 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.
