“When we learn to truly follow Jesus, we find that obedience to God comes from the inside out. Submission to what God wants for our lives flows naturally out of that relationship.”
― Kyle Idleman, quote from Not a Fan: Becoming a Completely Committed Follower of Jesus
“Por sí mismo no tenía valor, naturalmente. El dinero era un medio. Pero cuando se trataba de llegar a fin de mes nadie lo desestimaba rápidamente como algo que «no preocupaba». Comida, vivienda, ropa. Seguridad, en la medida en que tal cosa existiera, y por tanto también la capacidad de salvarse. Eficacia, poder, influencia. Desahogo, libertad, elección. Generosidad, caridad, si no amor, por sus hijos, por su mujer, por su padre, la evidencia palpable del amor. Educación, si no sabiduría, el requisito previo de información precisa. Si no felicidad, confort, que, de ser necesario, podía hacer las veces de felicidad. Billetes de avión: experiencias, belleza y la posibilidad de escapar.”
― Lionel Shriver, quote from So Much for That
“She had seen what it cost him and her heart quickened with compassion. For that alone, she might have loved him almost.”
― Cecilia Dart-Thornton, quote from The Battle of Evernight
“All right, Emma. You brought me in. You made your move. Just like I knew you would. A nice move. Now it's my turn.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 3: Torn
“She stepped out of reach. “Go put on a shirt and get your mind out of bed.”
“Impossible with you around.”
“Pretend I’m holding a rifle. In fact, pretend I have you in the crosshairs.”
Janvier sighed, rubbing at a jaw shadowed by morning stubble. “I love it when you talk dirty.”

Taran WandererBookQuoters 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.
