“The quickest path to self-destruction is to push away the people you love.”
― Cassia Leo, quote from Pieces of You
“How can you still love me after everything I’ve done to you?” “How can I not? You’re the fucking love of my life. You don’t stop loving someone just because they’ve hurt you. Yes, what you did hurt me, but I gain nothing if I stay angry with you. But I might gain everything by forgiving you. You’re my everything. I just want you back.”
― Cassia Leo, quote from Pieces of You
“You’re my mess, and that makes you a beautiful mess,”

― Cassia Leo, quote from Pieces of You
“It's funny that when the one person you live for is ripped out of your life you can still find a way to convince yourself it's for the best and that you will eventually get over it.
What a joke.”
― Cassia Leo, quote from Pieces of You

“I loved her for so long. Our past trails behind us like a comet's tail, the future stretched out before us like the universe. Things happen. People get lost and love breaks.”
― Jonathan Tropper, quote from This is Where I Leave You
“The question is, of course, is it going to be possible to amalgamate everything,
and merely discover that this world represents different aspects of one thing?
Nobody knows. All we know is that as we go along, we find that we can amalga-
mate pieces, and then we find some pieces that do not fit, and we keep trying to
put the jigsaw puzzle together. Whether there are a finite number of pieces, and
whether there is even a border to the puzzle, is of course unknown. It will never
be known until we finish the picture, if ever. What we wish to do here is to see to
what extent this amalgamation process has gone on, and what the situation is at
present, in understanding basic phenomena in terms of the smallest set of principles.
To express it in a simple manner, what are things made of and how few elements
are there ?”
― Richard Feynman, quote from The Feynman Lectures on Physics
“He might dance down the street on his way to work, gaze into the eyes of a complete stranger and speak of love at first sight, or defend an apparently absurd idea. Warriors of light allow themselves days like these.
He is not afraid to weep over ancient sorrows or feel joy at new discoveries. When he feels that the moment has arrived, he drops everything and goes off on some long-dreamed-of adventure. When he realises that he can do no more, he abandons the fight, but never blames himself for having committed a few unexpected acts of folly.
A warrior does not spend his days trying to play the role that others have chosen for him.”
― Paulo Coelho, quote from Warrior of the Light
“You keep getting more wonderful,” I whispered. “Baby, it’s not yet seven, got my girl who hates to get up early in my arm, a coffee from The Shack she got for me, and I’m gonna get me some in about two hours. I’m thinkin’ you keep gettin’ more wonderful too.” “Good answer,” I replied.”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from The Will
“Someday,” he whispered softly in my ear. “I don’t want to hurt you. Not until you’re ready for me… But someday I’m going to own all of you, Marie. You’re all mine, babe. Knew it the first time I saw you. Couldn’t give you up if I tried.”
― Joanna Wylde, quote from Reaper's Property

ShiftBookQuoters 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.
