“If you think love means secrecy, then you don’t understand what love is at all.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“Loving someone is one thing, and being loved is another, but being loved by the one you love - that's paradise. And I don't think I shall ever have it. Some men aren't capable of loving you back.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“You and I are impossible." she said.
"No." Gently, he brushed the hair back from her face. "We are what's real and true.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“Do you always worry about everyone else before yourself?"
"I don't know. I suppose."
"It's a miserable habit...”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“He reached out with his good hand, cupping her chin.
"Gretchen, don't you realise by now I would give up everything to be with you?”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“She stood on the edge of night, that sliver of gray between darkness and dawn, that razor-thin line separating the first part of her life and whatever lay ahead.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“The man she had loved as a father was a fraud. He kissed the back of her hands and advocated war; he had played with her on the carpet with toy soldiers, and all along he had been planning the extinction of an entire people.
There would be no resettlement in the east. No carefully orchestrated exodus of Jews from Germany, no trains wending through the mountains, carrying Jews to another home in another country. There would be no peaceful expulsion. It was obvious now; Hitler had said it himself tonight. The internal purification of the Jewish spirit is not possible.
She understood. In Hitler's Germany, the Jews would have no place at all.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“Then he cradled her face, touching her so tenderly she could scarcely breathe, and brought his face to hers until their lips met in a kiss that burned her mouth.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“No, not anonymous. Maybe she didn't matter enough to the Brauns, certainly not enough to her mother and Uncle Dolf, and definitely not at all to Reinhard. But she mattered to herself. And that was all that needed to be true. She would figure something out”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog
“His proximity should disgust her, but it only confused her.”
― Anne Blankman, quote from Prisoner of Night and Fog

“There is a nocturna for every single person in the world! And each night the nocturni sip dreams from the River of Knowledge, and fly out into the world, and deliver them to their humans.”
― Lauren Oliver, quote from The Spindlers
“Solange and all her irritating brothers could get themselves kiled without me. I deserved to be part of their clandestine plans. I'd earned it. And I was sure they'd need a human touch at some point. And if they asked Hunter to help instead of me, I'd stake every last one of them myself.
Mom says jealousy is unattractive.
So's a broken nose.
I'm just saying.”
― Alyxandra Harvey, quote from Bleeding Hearts
“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order, a timetable not necessarily--perhaps not possibly--chronological. The time as we know it subjectively is often the chronology that stories and novels follow: it is the continuous thread of revelation.”
― Eudora Welty, quote from One Writer's Beginnings
“How can the meek of the earth save themselves against the damnable evil which feeds on them?”

FaçadeBookQuoters 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.
