“Where I was raised a woman's word was law. I ain't quite outgrowed that yet.”
― Zane Grey, quote from Riders of the Purple Sage
“So that's troublin' you? I reckon it needn't. You see it was this way. I come round the house an' seen that fat party an' heard him talkin' loud. Then he seen me, an' very impolite goes straight for his gun. He oughtn't have tried to throw a gun on me - whatever his reason was. For that's meetin' me on my own grounds. I've seen runnin' molasses that was quicker'n him. Now I didn't know who he was, visitor or friend or relation of yours, though I seen he was a Mormon all over, an' I couldn't get serious about shootin'. So I winged him - put a bullet through his arm as he was pullin' at his gun. An' he droppped the gun there, an' a little blood. I told him he'd introduced himself sufficient, an' to please move out of my vicinity. An' went" - Lassiter”

“I am waiting to plunge down, to shatter and crash, roar and boom, to bury your trail, and close forever the outlet to Deception Pass!”

“Love of man for woman - love of woman for man. That's the nature, the meaning, the best of life itself.”

“He llegado a la desgarradora conclusión de que Damien es demasiado bueno para alguien como yo. Él es brillante, guapo e inteligente y va a tener una vida asombrosa, muy, muy lejos de aquí, y muy, muy lejos de mí.
Encontrará a una chica encantadora en la universidad. Se casarán. Tendrán una docena de hermosos bebés. Y serán la pareja envidiada que todo el mundo mira cuando imaginan como deben ser el amor y la felicidad. Serán la imagen de la perfección.
Damien se merece eso. Se merece toda la maravillosa e incandescente felicidad del mundo. Y hay una sensación de malestar, que gira alrededor de mi interior, que me hace saber que él nunca encontrará ese tipo de felicidad conmigo.”

“You're going to fall down in this life—everybody dies. But you be the kind of person who doesn't stay down for long. Get back on your feet and keep going no matter what.”

Postcards from No Ma...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.
