― Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, quote from Now I'll Tell You Everything
“But how did you know that it was Stacy?”
“There wasn’t a green light flashing, that’s for sure,” he said. “Mostly, I felt I’d met a person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. That I didn’t need to look any further.””
“But how can you be sure?” I persisted.
“You can’t. There’s not just one person in the world who’s your type. There’s a whole group with the same likes and dislikes. But you want to spend your whole life looking for all of them? You just feel that everything’s right. You’re at peace with yourself.”
― Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, quote from Now I'll Tell You Everything
“We all have our own battles to fight, and sometimes we have to go it alone. I'm stronger than you think, you'd be surprised.”

“I know, but if I feel this bad for Gramps, how am I going to feel when it’s Dad?” Tyler told me.
“You’ll feel even worse, of course, but you’ll carry on, because happiness has a way of creeping in again. It really does,” I said.”
― Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, quote from Now I'll Tell You Everything
“I wanted my children and grandchildren to know that no matter when you are born or where you live, happiness and disappointments have the same flavors the world over.”

“— Страхуват се — каза Перец. — Аз също се страхувам. Но аз се страхувам не само от теб, страхувам се и за теб. Още не ги познаваш. Впрочем и аз малко ги познавам. Знам само, че са способни на всякакви крайности — до най-висшите степени на тъпотата и мъдростта, на жестокостта и съжалението, на яростта и въздържанието. В тях няма само едно: разбиране. Винаги са заменяли разбирането с някакъв сурогат — вяра, неверие, равнодушие, пренебрежение. Кой знае защо винаги излиза, че така е по-просто. По-просто е да повярваш, отколкото да разбереш. По-просто е да се разочароваш, отколкото да разбереш. Между другото аз утре заминавам, но това още нищо не значи. Тук не мога да ти помогна, тук всичко е много непробиваемо и застояло. Тук вече очевидно съм излишен, чужд. Но аз ще намеря приложение на силите си, не се страхувай. Да, те могат непоправимо да те осквернят, но затова също трябва време — да намерят най-ефективният, най-икономичният и преди всичко най-простият метод. Ние пък ще се преборим, ако има за какво да се борим… Довиждане.”
― Arkady Strugatsky, quote from The Snail on the Slope
“A good friend is someone you can count on. No matter what.”
― Elise Broach, quote from Masterpiece
“Single people eat sadly--they cobble together things left from shopping trips based on dreams of all the meals they'd fix for themselves, all the ways they'd treat themselves to something grand; those dreams, for me, died by the next day and, despite my best hopes, I wanted only canned hash and apples.”
― Elizabeth McCracken, quote from The Giant's House
“...But it is also told that Niuka forgot to fill two tiny crevices in the blue firmament. Thus began the dualism of love--two souls rolling through space and never at rest until they join together to complete the universe. Everyone has to build anew his sky of hope and peace.”
― Kakuzō Okakura, quote from The Book of Tea
“Hesitate in August.
Be shy.
Let your toes tremble in their sandals.
However, pick the grape
and eat with confidence.”
― Anne Sexton, quote from The Complete Poems

More Than ForeverBookQuoters 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.
