“Shall I tell you what rock and roll is, Johnno, from someone who doesn't perform, but observes?
It's restless and rude. It's defiant and daring. It's a fist shaken at age. It's a voice that often screams out questions because the answers are always changing. The very young play it because they're searching for some way to express their anger or joy, their confusion and their dreams. Once in a while, and only once in a while, someone comes along who truly understands, who has the gift to transfer all those needs and emotions into music.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Public Secrets
“a single cleaning service to be had on a Friday afternoon. He tackled the kitchen first with the bottle of Top Job he’d borrowed from a neighbor. The house smelled like a pine forest, but it couldn’t be helped. Then Michael lured”

“Coming home is hard." Ven said.
"It shouldn't be" Daleina said. "They love me. I love them. It should be easy."
"Once you leave, it's never easy again. Or at least it's never the same. You're not the same. You can't expect them to be.
She nodded. "Sometimes they feel like strangers. And still, I'd die to protect them.”
― Sarah Beth Durst, quote from The Queen of Blood
“I tended to spend too much time with my favorite things, loved them too hard until I wore them down. After a while, they became more like a shorthand for who I was and less like things I actually enjoyed.”
― Brittany Cavallaro, quote from The Last of August
“hayatımızın, birtakım ehemmiyetsiz teferruatın oyuncağı olduğunu, çünkü asıl hayatın teferruattan ibaret bulunduğunu görüyordum. bizim mantığımızla hayatın mantığı asla birbirine uymuyordu. bir kadın, trenin penceresinden dışarı bakabilir, bu sırada gözüne bir kömür parçası kaçar, o ehemmiyet vermeden bunu ovuşturur ve bu minimini hadise dünyanın en güzel gözlerinden birini kör edebilirdi. Yahut bir kiremit, hafif bir rüzgarla yerinden oynayarak, devrin gıpta ettiği bir kafayı parçalayabilirdi. göz mü mühim kömür parçası mı, kiremit mi mühim kafa mı diye düşünmek nasıl aklımıza gelmiyorsa ve bütün bunları nasıl hiç mütalaa yürütmeden kabule mecbursak, hayatın daha başka türlü birçok cilvelerine de aynı tevekkülle katlanmaya mecburduk.”

The Books of MagicBookQuoters 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.
