“Kyra." Fred caught Kyra's eyes. "I'm not in love with Ariana and I don't want half the kingdom."
"You don't?"
He shook his head. "But I might stick around for a little while longer. There are some interesting things in the Kingdom of Mohr."
"Like what?"
"Like a certain funny and extremely talented potioner."
Kyra took a breath. "I have to warn you, Hal isn't that great as a boyfriend. He's pretty self absorbed.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison


“I'm glad you escaped, Kyra," Fred said, looking serious again. "And that I found you."
"Me too," Kyra said, glancing up at him. "It wouldn't have been much of a life trying to live in the dumbwaiter."
Fred leaned down and kissed Kyra full on the lips.
Kyra pulled away. "How do you know I'm interested in you? Just because you've decided I'm worth hanging around for doesn't mean I feel the same way."
Fred cocked his head at her. "Really?"
"Oh, okay," Kyra said.
Then she kissed him back.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison


“Okay, that one's pretty good," Fred acknowledged, after she'd told him a particularly filthy joke. "But have you heard the one about the baker's wife?"
"No," Kyra said.
"Rumor has it, she married him for his buns." Fred burst out laughing.
Kyra groaned. "Okay, that was just bad.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison

― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison


“You know,” he said, “you didn’t have to go to all of this trouble just to get my attention.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison

Popular quotes

“Fear never wrote a symphony or poem, negotiated a peace treaty, or cured a disease. Fear never pulled a family out of poverty or a country out of bigotry. Fear never saved a marriage or a business. Courage did that. Faith did that. People who refused to consult or cower to their timidities did that. But fear itself? Fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors. Wouldn’t it be great to walk out?”
― Max Lucado, quote from Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear


“Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make proud, Foley thought.”
― Tom Clancy, quote from The Cardinal of the Kremlin


“I can take care of myself, thank you very much.” Cole pulled a tomato half out of the salad and stuffed it into his mouth.

“That’s right. I heard you and Ron were good friends,” Booker said innocently, the first clue a joke was coming. Booker was many things, but innocent wasn’t one of them.

Cole studied him for a moment. “Okay, I know I’m going to hate myself for asking, but who is Ron?” Cole leaned against the counter and folded his arms across his chest, looking every bit the 6'3 3/4" that he was.

“You know, Ron, as in Ronald McDonald.”

I groaned. That was bad.

“I can cook,” Cole said indecisively.

“Doc, you’re the only person I know that can burn water!”

“I have never burn–okay, once. Are you ever going to forgive me?”

“You ruined my favorite pan!”
― Sherry Gammon, quote from Unlovable


“Nu, nu mă mai las batjocorit, nu mai vreau să fiu jucăria unei soarte incerte, fără nici o țintă, care mă înalță și mă împinge iară în mocirlă, nu cumva să nu înțeleg deșertăciunea a tot ce-i pământesc. Ca și cum n-o știam demult - orice copil o știe, până și câinele de pe stradă!”
― Gustav Meyrink, quote from The Golem


“Can you come as soon as you’re done with work? At the house. Your mom threw a bowl at my mom. “I”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest Family

About BookQuoters

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.
