“But doesn't love cause too much pain?" she said. "To be worth it?" "It causes pain, indeed," Grumpy said. "But it's worth it. It's a good pain.”
― quote from Reawakened
“Sometimes life is just messy no matter what you do," she [Emma] said.”

“But how can we know that dragons did not exist? We have never actually BEEN to the Dark Ages.”
― Cressida Cowell, quote from A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons
“I like the way the morning can be stormy and the afternoon clear and sparkly as a jewel in the water. Put your hand in the water to reach for a sea urchin or a sea shell, and the thing desired never quite lies where you had lined it up to be. The same is true of love. In prospect or contemplation, love is where it seems to be. Reach in to lift it out and your hand misses”
― Jeanette Winterson, quote from The Powerbook
“To use a horse to show that a horse is not a horse is not as good as using a non-horse to show that a horse is not a horse...”
― Zhuangzi, quote from Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings
“The relevant measures are not ease and difficulty. The relevant measures are readiness and unreadiness. If the time isn’t right for a new idea, no power on earth can make it catch on, but if the time is right, it will sweep the world like wildfire.”
― Daniel Quinn, quote from The Story of B: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit
“Аларик тръгна към вратата, но се спря, за да погледне към тях. Райли видя дивия блясък в очите му.
- Аз ще тръгвам. Ще се видим там. - Можеш ли да усетиш Тризъбеца? - попита го тя.
- Не, но мога да почувствам Куин. - Тя долови проблясъка на болка, преди той да затвори рязко собствените щитове на ума си. Замисли се за причината. Какво точно се беше случило между него и Куин по време на лекуването?”

The Darkest PleasureBookQuoters 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.
