“Holding on to the past means you can never be open to having a future”
“His voice deepened. "Sign them. We´re in the bedroom and i´m giving you an order.”
“Love is so complicated. I’m glad I don’t suffer from it and hope I never do. It’s amazing how smart, strong people turn into frail, frightened idiots once their hearts are involved.”
“You are not the first female to strike me, my mate did it often. She grew testy at time."
Like perhaps when you opened your mouth...”
“Let me go.”
“No.” He pulled her closer. “Never.”
“You will stay with me. You will sleep here at my side and you will touch me. I am depressed but not when you stroke my chest.”
“all I want to know.” “You just”
“Feci per uscire, ma egli mi trattenne, chiamandomi col cognome:
– Zeitblom! – e anche questo richiamo fu duro. Quando mi volsi, disse:
– Ho trovato che non dev’essere.
– Che cosa, Adrian, non dev’essere?
– Ciò che è buono e nobile, – mi rispose – ciò che si dice umano, benché sia buono e nobile. Ciò per cui gli uomini hanno combattuto, per cui hanno dato l’assalto alle rocche, ciò che i vincitori hanno annunciato trionfanti, ecco, non deve essere. Viene ritirato. Io lo voglio ritirare.
– Scusa, caro, non ti comprendo del tutto. Che cosa vuoi ritirare?
– La Nona Sinfonia – rispose. E non disse altro, per quanto io stessi aspettando.”
“He was, in the words of H. H. Munro, a man whose looks made it possible for women to forgive any other trifling inadequacies.”
“We followed the bondage Bobbsey Twins across the crowded dance floor. Those leather shorts were an adventure from behind, let me tell you.
And the pictures of Elvis decorating the walls were an education, too. It wasn’t often you ran into a bondage/Elvis/ whorehouse-themed vampire
club.”
“You're a magnet for mess. I've never seen anything like it.

“NANCY DREW began peeling off her garden gloves as she ran up the porch steps and into the hall to answer the ringing telephone. She picked it up and said, “Hello!” “Hi, Nancy! This is Helen.” Although Helen Corning was nearly three years older than Nancy, the two girls were close friends. “Are you tied up on a case?” Helen asked. “No. What’s up? A mystery?” “Yes—a haunted house.”
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.
