And You Will Always Be Alone”

As long as her soulmate was alive, and they were together, she would be all right.”
― L.J. Smith, quote from Night World, No. 3

“Perhaps Court was just an ignorant Scot, but he preferred two things in his surgeons: that they be sober, and that they have lived long enough to have practiced on others before getting to him.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from If You Dare
“And the great thing about money is that it doesn’t matter when you harvest it. It’s an all-year crop.”
― Robert Harris, quote from Pompeii
“- Obedecer à sociedade? ... - replicou a marquesa, mostrando-se horrorizada. - É daí, senhor, que provêm todos os males. Deus não fez nem uma só lei para a nossa desgraça. Porém, os homens, reunindo-se, falsearam a sua obra. Nós, as mulheres, somo mais maltratadas pela civilização do que fomos pela natureza. Esta impõe-nos penas físicas que os homens não suavizaram, e a civilização desenvolveu sentimentos que eles enganam incessantemente. A natureza sufoca os seres fracos, os homens condenam-nos a viver para lhes oferecerem uma constante desgraça. O casamento, instituição em que hoje se funda a sociedade, faz-nos sentir todo o seu peso: para o homem a liberdade, para as mulheres os deveres. Nós lhes devemos toda a nossa vida, eles devem-nos apenas raros instantes. (...) Pois bem, o casamento, tal como hoje se efetua, afigura-se-me uma prostituição legal. Daí provieram todos os meus sofrimentos. (...) Fui a própria autora do mal, tendo desejado esse casamento.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from A Woman Of Thirty
“He’s exquisite. Perfection made flesh.
Granted, he didn’t come out looking like this. A few hours ago, he bore a strong resemblance to a screaming featherless chicken.
But he was my screaming featherless chicken, so he was still the most beautiful fucking thing I’ve ever seen.”
― Emma Chase, quote from Twisted
“You listen to your heart, Jack. And you listen to the voice that comes to you when you close your eyes. You'll know it because it will be something between a feeling and a whisper. And that voice? Jack, if your heart is good like yours is, that voice never, ever lies.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Finding Eden

The Dance in the Dar...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.
