“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

“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.”

“Kendi otomobilini üretemeyen ülkeye borç verip otobanlar yaptırırız. Sonra onlara arabalarımızı satarız. Sonra bankalarını satın alırız. O bankalardan halka ucuz krediler verip daha çok araba almalarını sağlarız. Böylece verdiğimiz o krediyi arabamızı satarak geri alırız, hem de faiziyle. O ülkeye dünya bankası ya da kardeş kurumlardan kredi ayarlarız. Ayarlanan kredi "ASLA" o ülkenin hazinesine gitmez. O ülkede ‘proje‘ yapan bizim şirketlerimizin kasasına girer. Enerji santralleri, sanayi alanları, limanlar, dev havaalanları yapılır. Aslında insanların işine yaramayan bir yığın beton. Bizim şirketlerimiz kazanır o ülkedeki birileri de nemalandırılır. Toplum bu düzenekten hiçbirşey kazanmaz. Ama ülke büyük bir borcun altına sokulmuş olur. Bu o kadar büyük bir borçtur ki ödenmesi imkansızdır. Plan böyle işler. Sonunda ekonomik danışmanlar/tetikçiler olarak gider onlara deriz ki; "Bize büyük borcunuz var ödeyemiyorsunuz. O zaman petrolünüzü satın, doğal gazınızı bize verin, askeri üslerimize yer gösterin, askerlerinizi birliklerimize destek olmaları için savaştığımız bölgelere gönderin, Birleşmiş Millletler de bizim için oy verin! Elektrik su kanalizasyon sistemlerinizi özelleştirin! Onları Amerikan şirketlerine ya da diğer çok uluslu şirketlere satın..." Sosyal hizmetleri, teknik sistemleri, eğitim kurumlarını, sağlık kurumlarını hatta adli sistemleri ele geçiririz. Bu, ikili, üçlü, dörtlü bir darbeler serisidir.”
― John Perkins, quote from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
“One of the problems with being my age is you look at everyone who is younger as children, and when everyone else around you is younger, it means you live in a universe of children. So you tend to scold more than is proper.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from A Darkness At Sethanon
“Jaypaw wasn’t sure she was right. If the Clan cats failed to drive out the intruders, the Tribe, and the spirits of its ancestors, might have to face a journey of their own.”

“Poor Cinderpaw’ll think she’s being stalked by toadstools,” Lionpaw mewed.”

“Sounds to me like you're talkin' about the wrong things. Why don't you talk about other things? Like you could make a list of things you won't fight over and then you only talk about those things.”

Ready Player OneBookQuoters 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.
