“Music is a personal response to vibration.”
― Kate Mosse, quote from Sepulchre

“È curioso che un ragazzo che voleva fare il cowboy fosse un topo da biblioteca.”
Shane fece spallucce. “In realtà mi piaceva leggere storie di cowboy. Riuscivo sempre a capire quando un autore non era mai nemmeno salito a cavallo e si era inventato tutto. Ed era il mio modo di vivere delle avventure. Non avevo bisogno di vedere il mondo, se il mondo veniva da me.”
Aveva l’aria così triste che a Jimmy venne voglia di abbracciarlo. Non lo fece e non disse nemmeno che voleva andarsene.”
― Kim Fielding, quote from Rattlesnake
“I tried to call out to them, but instead heard myself saying, "Thank you, I'd love a ride," loud enough for all the ghost hunters to hear.”

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.
