“You can decorate absence however you want- but your still gonna feel what’s missing.”
― Siobhan Vivian, quote from Same Difference
“Fall colors are funny. They’re so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.”
― Siobhan Vivian, quote from Same Difference
“If there's one thing I've discovered, it's that stifling yourself will only lead to more misery. [...] I polluted all other happiness because I was afraid to let myself create and change. You have to have courage. Real courage to explore, to fail, and to pick yourself back up again.”
― Siobhan Vivian, quote from Same Difference
“This is your reminder to wear your heart on your sleeve more often.”
― Siobhan Vivian, quote from Same Difference
“It's ridiculous, how people judge talent. Or, rather, don't judge. They just default to what everyone else thinks.”
― Siobhan Vivian, quote from Same Difference
“It's embarrassing, how much effort it took for me to wear something that looks exactly like a blank piece of paper.”
― Siobhan Vivian, quote from Same Difference
“Good, stupid high school boys aren't worth It" She throws an arm over my shoulder. "They're trained to like a certain type of girl, with highlights and pretty nails- the kind who are good at remembering to put on lotion every morning after they shower." She smiles like she's got a dirty secret. "And let's face it..... sluts.”
― Siobhan Vivian, quote from Same Difference
“From the floor, I see the tops of the Philadelphia skyline out of her window. Staring at it, I realize that the night sky isn't really black, which is the way I've always thought of it. It's actually a dark shade of blue, the darkest possible.”

“Muzykę rockową grają głównie mężczyźni. Ekspresja jest agresywnie męska. Obserwator z zewnątrz powinien zatem szybko zorientować się, że rock nie jet knapsu. Ale temu należy przeciwstawić fakt, że brzdąkane nie jest żadną porządną pracą. Dzień w lesie i gość będzie sikał krwią. Również śpiewanie uważano za niemęskie, przynajmniej w okolicach Pajali i w stanie trzeźwym. A już robić to po angielsku, w języku zdecydowanie za miękkim dla twardych fińskich szczęk, tak zwiotczałym, że tylko dziewczyny mogły mieć z niego piątki, w tym ślimakowatym szwargocie, drżącym i wilgotnym, wynalezionym przez chodzących w błocie mieszkańców wybrzeża, którzy nigdy nie musieli walczyć, którzy nigdy nie głodowali i nie marzli, mowie dla obiboków, trawożerców, leniuchów pierdzących w kanapy, mowie całkowicie pozbawionej rześkości, do tego stopnia, że język flaczeje w ustach jak odcięty napletek.”
― Mikael Niemi, quote from Popular Music from Vittula
“Two decades of virtually uninterrupted fighting had made even the most dignified structures appear drunken, wounded, or lost. The entire city seemed to affirm the notion that warfare is a disease.”
― Greg Mortenson, quote from Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan
“Could she be a friend to the writer of a bad book?”
― Anita Diamant, quote from Good Harbor
“Everyone has connections. For some it's family, like my brother and I. For some it's friendship, like you and Wes. And for others, it's something much more powerful, something yet to be seen.”
― Abra Ebner, quote from Book of Love
“I did win, you know,” I said.
“No, you didn’t.”
“Yes, I did. I knocked you out.”
“Stunned me. I wasn’t unconscious.”
“Oh, please, save it for the preacher. You were out cold.”
― Devon Monk, quote from Magic in the Shadows

Johnny the Homicidal...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.
