“As a writer, I can think of no greater terror than confronting a blank page, except perhaps the terror of being shot at.”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“You’re like my wife.”
“Because I’m not sleeping with you either?”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“Best autopsy ever," said Rook. "I think I just peed myself a little. Seriously, I did.”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“He wrote as if he were the reader. It was also how he kept his writing from becoming too cute, which is to say, about him not the subject. Rook was a journalist but strove to be a storyteller, one who let his subjects speak for themselves and stayed out of their way as much as possible.”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“I've been thinking about how ugly gossip is. How it victimizes people, but how as much as we say we hate it, we still feed on it like it was crack.”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“[She] was trading sex for print. She certainly wouldn't be the first woman to do that, now, would she, Nikki Heat?”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“Rook was a journalist but strove to be a storyteller, one who let his subjects speak for themselves and stayed out of their way as much as possible.”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“Around 11 P.M., unable to concentrate on his work or even watch the news, he had started to wonder if this was how it started with stalkers. And then he started to think maybe he'd do his next article as an investigation of stalkers. But then he wondered... if you do a ride-along with a stalker, are you stalking the stalker?
It all got very weird.”
― Richard Castle, quote from Naked Heat
“-Tu teoría sería interesante si no fuera por un pequeño detalle.
-¿Cuál?
-Que no estaba escuchando”

“-Esta es la mejor autopsia de la historia -declaró Rook-. Hasta creo que me he meado un poco de la emoción. En serio”

“Better to be caught in sudden, complete catastrophe than to be gnawed by the cancer of imagination.”

“I wait with sullen resignation,” said Tuf, unmoving.”
― George R.R. Martin, quote from Tuf Voyaging
“The point is, the Grand Families see how much support you have, and they know you want to instigate change. Change for them, a return to more democratic rule, the introduction of accountability, will diminish their power, and Lady help them, their wealth, too. That's what the city's entire political structure is geared around: preserving and expanding their estates. If you wipe out the gangs, you'll go after them next, and the way they've distorted and abused Rah's constitution. That's inevitable.”

The Medusa PlotBookQuoters 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.
