“Having told of so much beauty, how is it possible to tell of her? There are no words left on the earth in any tongue that will do. Such words vanished from the world when it shook itself free from the ocean of chaos, in a cataclysm that reshaped it like one of the balls small children throw in the air at play.”
― Tanith Lee, quote from Night's Master
“You think you need me, little firecracker?” The gruff question travels all the way through me, and I have to press my thighs together to stop the tremor in me. “Baby, the way you need me can only barely cover half of the way I need you.” The unexpected sadness in his voice yanks my gaze back to his.”
― Katy Evans, quote from Mine
“უკვე ისე ვარ ამოსვრილი, რო ქაქის ჩამოფერთხვას აზრი ეკარგება. ერთი რამ კი მინდა გითხრათ, ქაქში რაც უფრო ღრმად შეტოპავ, მით უფრო ნაკლებად ამჩნევ, რო ქაქში ხარ. მაინც რა სისტემაა ეს? ვერ გამიგია. მე, მაგალითად, ხალხს ქაქში ამოსვრილთა საკითხებზე მომუშავე კომიტეტის პრეზიდენტად რო ავერჩიე, შევეცდებოდი, ამოსვრილებისთვის ჩამორეცხვის ამბავი გამეადვილებინა. თუ ადამიანი ამ ცხოვრებაში სისუფთავისკენ უნდა მიისწრაფოდეს, მაშინ მე ვთვლი, რო ჭუჭყის ჩამორეცხვა ყველასთვის გაადვილებული უნდა იყოს.”
― D.B.C. Pierre, quote from Vernon God Little
“Don’t buy anything. My philosophy is, if it flies, floats, or fucks, rent it.”
― Nelson DeMille, quote from Plum Island
“Bristol-Meyers Squibb has reported success with monatomic ruthenium to correct cancer cells. Same with platinum and iridium, according to Platinum Metals Review. These atoms actually make the DNA strand correct itself, rebuilding without drugs or radiation. Iridium has been shown to stimulate the pineal gland and appears to fire up ‘junk DNA,’ leading to the possibility of increased longevity and reopening aging pathways in the brain.”
― James Rollins, quote from Map of Bones
“Nathaniel smiled a mischievous-looking grin. “Now that we have already…come to know each other so intimately…it is simply a matter of speaking it into being. Anytime within the next seventy-two hours, I can command your body to conceive, and it will be so.” Jocelyn abruptly sat up, turned to face him squarely, and gulped, her eyes wide with surprise. “You have that kind of power…over me? Over my body? With just your words?”
― Tessa Dawn, quote from Blood Destiny
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.
