“Michael has never cried during a Broadway show. Except in that scene where Tarzan's ape father is brutally murdered.
And that was only because he was laughing so hard.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess Mia
“Do one thing every day that frightens you,” Princess Mia advised her audience. “And never think that you can’t make a difference. Even if you’re only sixteen, and everyone is telling you that you’re just a silly teenage girl—don’t let them push you away. Remember one other thing Eleanor Roosevelt said: ‘No one can make you feel inferior without your
consent.’ You are capable of great things—never let anyone try to tell you that just because you’ve only been a princess for twelve days, you don’t know what you’re doing.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess Mia
“The first thing we did was change all the clocks so that her siblings thought it was bedtime, then put them to bed ignoring their plaintive protests that they were not tired. They wept themselves to sleep soon enough.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess Mia
“But Grandmère is just like all those other women who go around wanting the same rights as men, but don’t want to call themselves feminists. Because that isn’t “feminine.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess Mia
“Oh my God. Oh my God, J.P. is in love with me. And we blew up the school.”

“Or there's peer tutoring. Oh my god. I'm tutoring the cutest little second grader right now. I totally taught her how to stay within the lines with her eyeshadow.”

“This was how life was meant to be. It was scary at times, but you had to trust in the ones you loved to see you through the madness of it.”

“What is it that you want with me, Baka?”
He looked at her in a predatory way that, she sensed, had nothing to do with blood. “The same thing any man who isn’t blind would want from you.” Elora arched a right eyebrow and took another sip of golden liquid as she waited for him to spell it out. “Your phone number.”
― Victoria Danann, quote from My Familiar Stranger
“I ask whether the mere eating of human flesh so very far exceeds in barbarity that custom which only a few years since was practised in enlightened England:—a convicted traitor, perhaps a man found guilty of honesty, patriotism, and suchlike heinous crimes, had his head lopped off with a huge axe, his bowels dragged out and thrown into a fire; while his body, carved into four quarters, was with his head exposed upon pikes, and permitted to rot and fester among the public haunts of men! The fiend-like skill we display in the invention of all manner of death-dealing engines, the vindictiveness with which we carry on our wars, and the misery and desolation that follow in their train, are enough of themselves to distinguish the white civilized man as the most ferocious animal on the face of the earth.

“إحدى المشاكل الكبيرة لقارتنا-أكد مرة بعد أخرى-هي الواقع الذي لايدحض،إن القسم الأعظم من الشعب الإفريقي هو،في حد ذاته أكثر عنصرية من الكولونياليين أنفسهم.قبائل جيران،أخوة تقريبا،يكنون لبعضهم الضغينة والإحتقار،والآن بقدوم الإستقلال يظهرون بوضوح أن الدهمائي ليس لديه عدو أسوأ من الدهمائي نفسه الذي يتكلم لهجة أخرى .لن نرتكب الخطأ ذاته.أنتم الذين ستحكمون هذه الامة ليكن واضحاً أمامكم،أن البدو والطوارق وقبائل الجبال ليسوا في مستوى أدنى،إنما مختلفون فحسب....مختلفون .”
― Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa, quote from Tuareg

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.
