“Slow down. The party won't start until I get there
- Jo, Remember me.
Page 43.”
― Christopher Pike, quote from Remember Me
“You think sex is dirty. You have a dirty mind.”

“I had been afraid of the awful presence of the river, which was the soul of the river, but through her [Ultima] I learned that my spirit shared in the spirit of all things.”
― Rudolfo Anaya, quote from Bless Me, Ultima
“Is this place called Virgins?
Well, I shouldn't be here!

“A hero is someone who simply got too frightened to use his good sense and run away, then somehow lived through it all.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Silverthorn
“على الرغم مما قد تفترض، فإنَّ الحقائق لا يمكن عكسها. ومجرّد كونكَ قادراْ على الدخول، لا يعني أنَّ في استطاعتك أن تخرج. فالمداخل لا تتحول إلى مخارج، ولا شيء يضمن أن يبقى الباب الذي اجتزته قبل برهة في مكانه عندما تستدير لتبحث عنه من جديد.”
― Paul Auster, quote from In the Country of Last Things
“From the little reading I had done I had observed that the men who were most in life, who were molding life, who were life itself, ate little, slept little, owned little or nothing. They had no illusions about duty, or the perpetuation of their kith and kin, or the preservation of the State. They were interested in truth and in truth alone. They recognized only one kind of activity - creation.”
― Henry Miller, quote from Sexus
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.
