― 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

“he would now have comprehended that work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that play consists of whaterver a body is not obliged to do. And this would help him to understand why construcing artificial flowers or performing on a tread-mill, is work, whilst rolling nine-pins or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement. There are wealthy gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger-coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line, in the summer, because the privilege costs them considerable money; but if they were offered wages for the service that would turn it into work, then they would resign.”
― Mark Twain, quote from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
“I've never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.”
― Albert Camus, quote from The Stranger
“Diez negritos se fueron a cenar;
uno se asfixió y quedaron nueve.
Nueve negritos estuvieron despiertos hasta muy tarde;
uno se quedó dormido y entonces quedaron ocho.
Ocho negritos viajaron por Devon;
uno dijo que se quedaría allí y quedaron siete.
Siete negritos cortaron leña;
uno se cortó en dos y quedaron seis.
Seis negritos jugaron con una colmena;
una abeja picó a uno de ellos y quedaron cinco.
Cinco negritos estudiaron Derecho;
uno se hizo magistrado y quedaron cuatro.
Cuatro negritos fueron al mar;
un arenque rojo se tragó a uno y quedaron tres.
Tres negritos pasearon por el zoo;
un gran oso atacó a uno y quedaron dos.
Dos negritos se sentaron al sol;
uno de ellos se tostó y sólo quedó uno.
Un negrito quedó sólo;
se ahorcó y no quedó… ¡ninguno!”
― Agatha Christie, quote from And Then There Were None
“Everything will turn out right, the world is built on that.”

Min kamp 2BookQuoters 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.
