“Elder mocked me for praying once, and i spent an hour berating him for that. He ended up throwing up his hands, laughing, and telling me i could believe whatever i wanted if i was going to hold onto my beliefs so hard.”

“The mind is confused? Is it not so? Take time, mon ami. You are agitated; you are excited—it is but natural. Presently, when we are calmer, we will arrange the facts, neatly, each in his proper place. We will examine—and reject. Those of importance we will put on one side; those of no importance, pouf! blow them away!”
― Agatha Christie, quote from The Mysterious Affair at Styles
“Aveva l'espressione di un astronauta fluttuante nello spazio a cui si è sganciato il cavo e ha una sola possibilità di afferare una corda di salvataggio o di vagare per sempre nel nero infinito. Conoscevo quella sensazione, il panico che sembrava allungare il tempo, che trasformava i secondi in anni, e il dolore di essere feriti non da una persona, ma da molte, una banda di bulli che cresceva fino a includere il tuo quartiere e poi tutta la comunità, fino a spingerti a mettere in dubbio il mondo intero. E l'ultimo pensiero mentre allungavi il braccio fin quasi a sfiorare quella corda di salvataggio è in che modo, se fossi sopravvissuto, avresti potuto riparare quello che si era rotto, per poter dire che sì, volevi di nuovo essere parte di quel mondo.”
― Lissa Price, quote from Starters
“He remembered a dog—the only living thing they found in the entire village—curled around the body of a dead child. Caramon stopped to pet the small dog. The animal cringed, then licked the big man’s hand. It then licked the child’s cold face, looking up at the warrior hopefully, expecting this human to make everything all right, to make his little playmate run and laugh again.”

Cunt: A Declaration...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.
