“Do not chase boys. Chasing boys is bad. Chasing boys can lead to horrible things like mansions going up into flames, hand amputations, and blindness. So have some self respect and don't let things get too far before the wedding day.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess in Pink


“I can command the Royal Genovian Air Force," Grandmère supposedly replied. "As well as the Royal Genovian Navy. But the one thing in the world I have no control over, Helen, is your womb. Now come along.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess in Pink


“How many times do I have to tell you, Amelia? Men are like little woodland creatures. You have to lure them to you with tiny breadcrumbs and soft words of encouragement. You cannot simply whip out a rock and conk them over the head with it.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess in Pink


“Instead of being wakened to the sound of birdsong, like princesses in books, I was wakened to the sound of Rommel shrieking as Fat Louie beat him senseless for getting into his bowl of Fancy Feast.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess in Pink

“أموت شوقا لصوتك.. ليتني أستطيع إيقاظك من النوم الآن.. كئيبة هي الدنيا بدونك.. الليل أظلم من عادته.. والسكون أوحش.. كيف استطعت وانت معي أن تجعل من الليل احتفالا انتظره كل يوم؟ كيف جعلت سكوني صخباً حتى وأنت تغط في النوم؟؟

مجرد حديث بين قلبي وقلبك لا يخضع لأي موازين”
― Rajaa Alsanea, quote from Girls of Riyadh


“These descriptions do really state the truth- as nearly as the limitations of language will allow. But language is a treacherous thing, a most unsure vehicle, and it can seldom arrange descriptive words in such a way that they will not inflate the facts-by help of the readers imagination, which is always ready to take a hand, and work for nothing, and do the bulk of it at that.”
― Mark Twain, quote from Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World


“It’s all right,’ said Julian, putting his arm round Anne.”
― Enid Blyton, quote from Five on a Treasure Island


“We hug for forever.
The longest hug of my life.
I don’t even care that Ava and T are looking on from the couch. I just like, collapse into his arms.
“There’s a rumor going around,” he whispers.
My heart sinks.
I let go.
I look into his eyes.
“There is?”
“Yeah, I talked to Fisher, and she said--”
Oh! Fisher! Phew!
“You’re heading out.” Teague looks sad.
I look sad.
I am sad.
Teague looks at Ava and back at me.
“If it’s okay with Ava--” He pauses and loops his fingers around mine. “I would love the pleasure of your company for one last night.”
We both turn toward Ava like two love-starved teenagers.
Wait, we are love-starved teenagers!
“Ava?” I ask in my sweetest pretty-please voice.
She rolls her eyes and rests her head on T’s shoulder.
“Do you think I’m the Grinch who stole Christmas? Of course you can go!”
“I can?”
“You can,” she says, amused by my excitement.
There is a lot of love in this room.
A lot of love.
Teague’s not done.
“Um.” He looks at Ava. “If Emily would like to, and it’s okay with you--” He squeezes my hand. “I was thinking we could stay out at my cabin.”
My eyes pop out of my head.
My jaw drops.
My eyebrows arch.
“Say what!” T looks up from his book.
But Ava turns to him and says something in his ear. Then, in what can only be explained as a true Christmas miracle, she looks back at me.
“Okay,” she says, gleaming back at us.
“It’s okay with me.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace


“An oak tree is an oak tree. That is all it has to do. If an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, quote from Being Peace

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.
