“Never say 'I can't.' 'I can't' is a limit, and life is about breaking through limits. Say 'I will' instead.”
― Heather Vogel Frederick, quote from Pies & Prejudice
“Robin Hood just called, he wants Sherwood Forest back.”
― Heather Vogel Frederick, quote from Pies & Prejudice

― Heather Vogel Frederick, quote from Pies & Prejudice
“Math is “maths,” an elevator is a “lift,” a truck is a “lorry,” a flashlight is a “torch,” and “crisps” are what they call potato chips, while “chips” over here means French fries. Just as riding the double-decker buses thrills me, I get a thrill out of hearing people talk.”
― Heather Vogel Frederick, quote from Pies & Prejudice
“Would I want to know the ending to my own story? No. I want the adventure that comes with finding out.”
― Heather Vogel Frederick, quote from Pies & Prejudice
“Football means soccer, squash is soda, bonkers is nuts—I’m going to need an interpreter or something.”

“Mój lęk brał się z czegoś dużo potężniejszego i nie tak realnego jak Mark czy Teddy Giles. Nie mógł się pomieścić w jednej osobie. Ta groźba była niewidzialna, podlegała przeobrażeniom i ogarniała dosłownie wszystko. Przerażenie wywołane czymś tak niechwytnym może wskazywać, że wpadłem w obłęd, że upodobniałem się do Dana, który w ataku paranoi potrafił niewinne klepnięcie po plecach odebrać jako próbę zamachu na jego życie, ale szleńswto przybiera różne formy. Większość z nas od czasu do czasu doznaje czegoś podobnego, ulegając powabowi psychicznego rozpadu. Wtedy jednak wcale nie flirtowałem z myślą o szaleństwie. Zdawałem sobie sprawę, że duszący mnie niepokój nie jest racjonalny, ale zarazem instynktownie wiedziałem, że choć to, czego się lękam, znajduje się poza sferą rozumu, ten nonsens również potrafi być realny.”
― Siri Hustvedt, quote from What I Loved
“Does an iris seek to repay the sun which gave it life? No. The mere beauty of the iris is tenfold thanks enough for each day the sun can see the wonder it created.”
― John Shors, quote from Beneath a Marble Sky
“Sometimes you have to face up to your fears to realize that they aren’t actually real.”
― Zoe Sugg, quote from Girl Online
“Let go of me or slow down," she demanded as she tried to keep pace with him.
He slowed down. "I swear to God, you try the patience of a saint."
"You aren't a saint, Brodick, no matter what your mother might have told you.”
― Julie Garwood, quote from Ransom
“The way I figured it, keeping quiet was safe. Words could betray you if you choose the wrong ones, or mean less if you used too many.”

The Alchemy of Forev...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.
