“As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty-two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.”
― quote from Morrie: In His Own Words
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and let it come in”
― quote from Morrie: In His Own Words

― quote from Morrie: In His Own Words
“Accept yourself, your physical condition and your fate as they are at the present moment.”
― quote from Morrie: In His Own Words
“Now is the time to work on becoming the kind of person you would like to be.”
― quote from Morrie: In His Own Words
“When you look at it that way, you can see how absurd it is that we individualize ourselves with our fences and hoarded possessions.”
― quote from Morrie: In His Own Words
“I believe that even though each person has an individual and unique self, the self means nothing outside the context of community or meaningful contact with other people.”
― quote from Morrie: In His Own Words
“Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live”

“They'd poisoned me, dammit. Probably to trade my dead body to the barbarians for Wulfgar's safe return. Or maybe just for the fun of it.”
― Vivian Vande Velde, quote from Heir Apparent
“Garish could see Rollins lying dead in a ditch with maggots in his eyes. Rollins wouldn't care. Neither would the maggots. You either ate the world or the world ate you and it was okay either way.”
― Stephen King, quote from Skeleton Crew
“My heart is broken.
It really is. All the signs are there. I can't sleep- not even burgers. Every time the phone rings, my pulse leaps... But it's never for me, it's never him.”

Cinderella Screwed M...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.
