“You were dropped as a child, weren't you?" Varen asked her.
"Maybe once or twice," Gwen said, "but at least I wasn't raised by highly literate vampires who, every night just before bed, fed me a steady diet of dark sarcasm and gothic horror fiction."
"Every morning before bed," Varen corrected. Stepping forward, he moved toward the headstone. "We slept during the day.”
― Kelly Creagh, quote from Oblivion
“He hated himself," Gwen said. "You just got caught in the cross fire.”
― Kelly Creagh, quote from Oblivion
“Isobel had entrusted the note to Gwen just before Baltimore. And the small scrap of paper still remained her only tangible evidence that Varen had loved her.
Expect...he didn't anymore.”
― Kelly Creagh, quote from Oblivion
“I’ve been in love with you since our first date, and every day since I’ve fallen deeper and deeper for you.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Into the Deep
“- Pourquoi n'as-tu plus d'amis ?
- Ils ont moisi. Je n'avais pas remarqué qu'ils avaient une date de péremption. Il faut faire attention à ça. Mes amis ont commencé à avoir des traces de pourriture, des taches vertes assez dégoûtantes. Ce qu'ils disaient commençait vraiment à sentir mauvais... ("Comment je suis devenu stupide", p210)”
― Martin Page, quote from How I Became Stupid
“We change the future with every choice we make,”
― Kiersten White, quote from Perfect Lies
“It is moments like these when everything becomes real—when you have to put every penny you earned into something you believe in.”
― Varun Agarwal, quote from How I Braved Anu Aunty & Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company
“Would that not be the final humbling of the human condition? That the trees and birds, the fox and the rabbit, the wolf and the deer... reach a point at which they do not even notice us, as we are transformed.”
― Jeff VanderMeer, quote from Acceptance
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.
