― Kate Mosse, quote from Sepulchre
“One cannot always marry the person one loves...”
― Kate Mosse, quote from Sepulchre

― Kate Mosse, quote from Sepulchre

― Kate Mosse, quote from Sepulchre
“Music is a personal response to vibration.”
― Kate Mosse, quote from Sepulchre
“Music (is) woven into the fabric of the corporeal world.”
― Kate Mosse, quote from Sepulchre

“Being active every day makes it easier to hear that inner voice.”
― Haruki Murakami, quote from What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
“Le recuerdo sentado tras su mesa de la biblioteca repasando pacientemente el contrato de préstamo párrafo por párrafo con un carcelero que quería comprar un automóvil DeSoto usado, explicándole al tipo con todo detalle los pros y los contras del contrato, explicándole que era posible comprar a crédito sin que te clavaran demasiado, sacándole de las sociedades financieras que, en aquellos tiempos, eran poco mejores que usureros. Cuando terminó, el carcelero hizo ademán de tenderle la mano... y en seguida la retiró. Por un momento, había olvidado que estaba tratando con una mascota y no con un hombre.”
― Stephen King, quote from Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons
“The trick with a truly successful intimidation is not to rely on volume or obscenity, but to cultivate that quiet certainty which informs any listener that your people will do the shouting for you, should the moment come.”
― Claire North, quote from The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August
“Je moet die mensen die zeggen dat je je de pleuris moet werken om de goede dingen van het leven te kunnen waarderen, niet geloven. Dat is niet waar. Die willen je naaien. Genot is een religie en het lichaam is de tempel.”
― Niccolò Ammaniti, quote from I'll Steal You Away
“...yo quisiera verlos quietos, verlos a mis pies y quietos –un poco el sueño de todo dios, Andrée, el sueño nunca cumplido de los dioses–,

Desecrating Solomon...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.
