“Tears are like lies. The more you use them, the less they’re worth. The moral of the story is: STOP FUCKING CRYING.”
“The point is that people need to stop bitching about how things should be and learn to live with how they are.”
“If you find yourself caring about something, just remind yourself that you don’t need to give a fuck. Caring is for nicegirls.”
“Limit yourself to wines with names you can’t pronounce that are made from grapes harvested during or before Full House season one.”
“And even if you don’t have material possessions, pretending like you have your shit together is the best way to have your shit together until you actually do.”
“So hold your head up high, reserve your smiles for those who really deserve them, and let the world know it’s your bitch.”
“In a world where we’re constantly being reassured that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, it’s essential to understand that’s bullshit.”
“While Nice is just a place in France, happiness will always be a foreign state of mind. But fuck it. Let's rage.”
“You may not know the word, but you definitely know the girl. She’s the girl who has guys wrapped around her finger, whose outfit is always perfectly conceived, and who magically accomplishes whatever she wants, whether it’s getting an amazing job at twenty-two or engaged at twenty-five, and she does it effortlessly. She may seem unapproachable, but those who are lucky enough to know her are likely to claim that she’s “really great if you’re friends with her, but she can be a huge bitch.”
“While FB started off as something elite and cool, now the people who use it the most are the biggest freaks on the planet, which we’re chill with, because it’s now easier to spot them and then ignore them in the real world.”
“Abbrevs is to English as English is to Olde English.”
“Tears are like lies, the more you use them, the less they're worth.”

“"If you want that kind of thing, call Nick. His advice is shit, but he really likes to give it.”
“Do you like it?"
"Get it," he says without hesitation. "You look..."
"Okay? Really? It's kind of short."
"That dress is it." His gaze drops to my legs, lingering appreciatively. "And it's definitely not too short.”
“I told you I do not do anything because I have to. And I don't. But to be inside you right now, baby, I have to. I need to. And, yes - right here in the kitchen.”
“You know, you’re a feminist.” It was not a compliment. I could tell from his tone—the same tone with which a person would say, “You’re a supporter of terrorism.”
“What I am is very much a function of what I am not. If the "other" is the Muslim world, then I am the Judeo-Christian world. IF the other is from thousands of light-years away, I am simply human. Redefine alterity and you can erase boundaries.”
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.
