“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.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess Mia



“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.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess Mia

“جهان عشق است و دیگر زرق سازی
همه بازی ست الا عشق بازی

فلک جز عشق محرابی ندارد
جهان بی خاک عشق آبی ندارد

غلام عشق شو اندیشه این است
همه صاحبدلان را پیشه این است

دلی کز عشق خالی شد فسرده ست
گرش صد جان بُوَد بی عشق مرده ست

مبین در عقل کان سلطان جان است
قدم در عشق نه کان جان ِ جان است

ز سوز عشق خوش تر در جهان نیست
که بی او گل نخندید، ابر نگریست

طبایع جز کشش کاری ندارند
حکیمان این کشش را عشق خوانند

گر اندیشه کنی از راه بینش
به عشق است ایستاده آفرینش

چو من بی عشق خود را جان ندیدم
دلی بفروختم، جانی خریدم

کمر بستم به عشق این داستان را
صلای عشق در دادم جهان را”
― Nizami Ganjavi, quote from Layla and Majnun


“I didn’t like trusting, I didn’t like setting greater than mild expectations,”
― Penny Reid, quote from Neanderthal Seeks Human


“And there were carved hearts in the trunks of trees with the initials of couples who felt there was no more romantic thing they could do to celebrate their love than scar the local plant life”
― Kevin Hearne, quote from Hunted

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.
