“For you it's not a matter of can or can't do. Once you say you're going to do something, you do everything to make it happen. That's why I wasn't worried. I've always liked that about you.
- Takano to Onodera”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1
“If I give up now, nothing will have changed. -Onodera Ritsu”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1
“Maybe the reason I believe reality is crueler...
... is because I've never really loved?
There was a time when I believed that...
..."Hard work will pay off." or "Your feelings will always reach them."
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse...
...that I found out that that's a myth.
What should I do...
If that's what it means to become an adult,
it's not necessarily unfortunate, but really mundane.
But it's not like I'm being negative,
I just turned my back and I am moving forward...
-Onodera Ritsu”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1
“How many people do you think get to do the thing they love for work? -Takano Masamune to Onodera Ritsu”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1
“I tried hard. I gave it my best.'
That's the enthusiasm we don't need, the sort that doesn't produce results. The more you're cornered, the more important it is...
...to make your decisions based on reality and not your personal feelings.
- Takano to Onodera”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1
“Por otro lado, sé que solo es un manga, pero ¿cómo pueden obtener la felicidad tan fácil?
¿Es la razón por la que creo que la realidad es tan dura, porque nunca he estado en una verdadera relación?
Yo solía creer en dichos como "Serás recompensado con el tiempo" o "Algún día tus sentimientos serán correspondidos" ¿Debo de estar contento de saber que sólo son engaños, no?
Si eso es lo que significa ser un adulto, supongo que no es malo, pero es terriblemente deprimente. Por otra parte, no es como si fuese pesimista o algo así. Solo sigo avanzando sin mirar atrás.”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1
“―No importaba cuanto trataba de mantener una relación, nunca me olvidé de ti. Por esa razón, haré que me digas que me amas una vez más.”
― Shungiku Nakamura, quote from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: A Boys Love Story, Volume 1

“Bad news doesn't hurt as much, if you hear it in good company. It's like, if somebody pushes you out of a 5th floor window and you bounce off an awning, a car roof, and a pile of plastic garbage bags before you smash onto the pavement, you've got a pretty good chance of surviving.”
― Patricia Gaffney, quote from The Saving Graces
“Job creation as part of the corporate mission, particularly the creation of fll time, decently paid, stable jobs, appears to have taken a back seat in many major corporations, regardless of company profits”
― Naomi Klein, quote from No Logo
“Gideon, you old dog, you have taken a mate,” the Prince accused with humor sparkling from those fathomless eyes. “And I believe she finds me quite attractive.”
Gideon heard Legna gasp in shock and tried to repress a feral smile as he became aware of the burning blush she sprouted.
“I would not cross that particular line even as a joke, Damien,” Gideon warned him smoothly.
“My apologies. I could not resist.” Damien looked steadily into Gideon’s eyes for a moment. “She must be young, not to realize I would be able to read her presence within your mind.”
“She is young, but I would not underestimate her if I were you.”
― Jacquelyn Frank, quote from Gideon
“The tray held herb tea, buttered bread, fruit and sheep's-milk yogurt mixed with honey, something Andie particularly liked first thing in the morning. It was, in fact, breakfast in bed.”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from One Good Knight
“[H]e was one of those people who got to the top of an organisation through luck, connections, the indulgence of superiors and that sort of carelessness towards others that the easily impressed termed ruthlessness and those of a less gullible nature called sociopathy. But sometimes, just through his sheer unthinking brusqueness and inability to think through the consequences of a remark, he said what everybody else was only thinking. A comic poet working in obscene doggerel.”
― Iain M. Banks, quote from The Algebraist

Because You'll Never...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.
