“The coma ward was boring yet difficult. Like golf.”
― Belinda Bauer, quote from Rubbernecker

― Belinda Bauer, quote from Rubbernecker
“Sweet little thing says she still wants to marry him. Breaks your heart: She sighed and sounded sincere, so Tracy nodded in a way she hoped denoted that she, too, was a little bit heartbroken — even though she thought that if her (hypothetical) boyfriend were in a coma for more than a few weeks, she’d probably just cut her losses and move on, not stick around to watch him shit in his pants for the next fifty years.”
― Belinda Bauer, quote from Rubbernecker
“It has sick on the sleeve. And no apostrophe.”

“«Дон Хуан объяснил, что в энергетическом потоке вселенной имеются входы и выходы, и что в конкретном случае сновидения входов — семь. Сновидящий воспринимает их как препятствия, которые и были названы магами семью вратами сновидения.
— Первые врата — это особый порог. Преодолевается он посредством осознания особого ощущения, возникающего перед тем, как человек проваливается в глубокий сон, — говорил дон Хуан. — Это ощущение сродни чувству приятной тяжести, которая не дает нам открыть глаза. Мы достигаем врат в то самое мгновение, когда осознаем, что засыпаем, паря во тьме и ощущении тяжести.
— Но как я могу осознать, что засыпаю? Существуют ли какие-либо специальные приемы?
— Нет. Никаких специальных приемов. Просто намерение осознать, что засыпаешь.
— Но откуда мне взять такое намерение?
— Намерение — это вещь, о которой очень сложно сказать что-нибудь вразумительное. Если я или кто бы то ни было попытается объяснить, что такое намерение, — его слова будут напоминать идиотический бред. Сейчас я попробую сформулировать. Маг формирует намерение совершить то, что он намерен совершить, просто за счет того, что он намеревается это совершить.»”

“Then you need to fight for him. Don't give up on something like that. It doesn't come along very often. And when you find it, you hold on tight. You lock that shit down with an iron fist and you never, ever let go. Even when life tries to take it from you, you smack life upside its head like a little bitch and you keep on fighting for it.”
― A. Meredith Walters, quote from Bad Rep

Model MisfitBookQuoters 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.
