“He was beyond gorgeous. But Eastlake High was full of pretty people who acted like total freaks. I blame the local water supply. Which was why I drank bottled water.”
― Rachel Vincent, quote from Never to Sleep
“Survival strategy. If you’re not careful, this place will eat you alive, and Kaylee’s like bait for the beasts.”
― Rachel Vincent, quote from Never to Sleep
“Is that a joke? Please tell me you're joking. -Sophie
I never joke about carnivorous bunnies. -Luca”
― Rachel Vincent, quote from Never to Sleep
“I kind of felt like a new kind of princess. A warrior princess, ready to swing her battle-ax through hordes of the fashion-challenged and the socially unfortunate.”
― Rachel Vincent, quote from Never to Sleep
“Here, just like in my own world, popularity was power; survival required the occasional sacrifice of a damaged limb—or a damaged cousin—and alliances were crucial.”
― Rachel Vincent, quote from Never to Sleep
“But as Luca slid into my passenger seat to accept my offer of a ride home, the most pressing question was already weighing heavy on my mind. What does a warrior princess wear for her first day on the throne?”

“Myron’s eyes narrowed, swerving from Clip to Calvin Johnson, back to Clip. Their expressions were neutral. “Why do I have the feeling,” Myron asked, “that I’m missing something here?” Clip finally smiled. He looked over to Calvin Johnson. Calvin Johnson forced up a return smile. “Perhaps I should be less”—Clip paused, searched for the word—“opaque.” “That might be helpful.” “I want you on the team. I don’t much care if you play or not.” Myron waited again. When no one continued, he said, “It’s still a bit opaque.” Clip let loose a long breath. He walked over to the bar, opened a small hotel-style fridge, and removed a can of Yoo-Hoo. Stocking Yoo-Hoos. Hmm. Clip had been prepared. “You still drink this sludge?” “Yes,” Myron said. He tossed Myron the can and poured something from a decanter into two glasses. He handed one to Calvin Johnson. He signaled to the seats by the glass window. Exactly midcourt. Very nice. Nice leg room too. Even Calvin, who was six-eight, was able to stretch a bit. The three men sat next to one another, all facing the same way, which again felt weird in a business setting. You were supposed to sit across from one another, preferably at a table or desk. Instead they sat shoulder to shoulder, watching the work crew pound the floor into place.”
― Harlan Coben, quote from Fade Away
“You’ll get to the point where you react differently when you see food you know you shouldn’t eat.”

“Possibility, infinity, beauty -- none of those words were right. [...] What he really wanted to say was: have you felt this? this phantom life streaking like a phosphorescent hound at the edges of your ruin? ”
― Haven Kimmel, quote from The Solace of Leaving Early
“Muzykę rockową grają głównie mężczyźni. Ekspresja jest agresywnie męska. Obserwator z zewnątrz powinien zatem szybko zorientować się, że rock nie jet knapsu. Ale temu należy przeciwstawić fakt, że brzdąkane nie jest żadną porządną pracą. Dzień w lesie i gość będzie sikał krwią. Również śpiewanie uważano za niemęskie, przynajmniej w okolicach Pajali i w stanie trzeźwym. A już robić to po angielsku, w języku zdecydowanie za miękkim dla twardych fińskich szczęk, tak zwiotczałym, że tylko dziewczyny mogły mieć z niego piątki, w tym ślimakowatym szwargocie, drżącym i wilgotnym, wynalezionym przez chodzących w błocie mieszkańców wybrzeża, którzy nigdy nie musieli walczyć, którzy nigdy nie głodowali i nie marzli, mowie dla obiboków, trawożerców, leniuchów pierdzących w kanapy, mowie całkowicie pozbawionej rześkości, do tego stopnia, że język flaczeje w ustach jak odcięty napletek.”
― Mikael Niemi, quote from Popular Music from Vittula
“the people who live in the last places - the people who are most neglected and least valued by the larger world - often represent the best of who we are and the finest standard of what we are meant to become. This is the power that last places hold over me, and why I have found it impossible to resist their pull.”

Ella Minnow Pea: A N...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.
