― Samantha Young, quote from Shades of Blood
“It was one thing to deal with monsters that were human in appearance. Another thing entirely to deal with humans who were monsters.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Shades of Blood

“I mean, my age is just a number. So what if you were born in the era when they still used rotary phones and cassette tapes? I think it’s cute.”

“Concluiu de nada adiantar sua sacrificada labuta, aproveitou uns dias de inverno mais úmido para adquirir uma pneumonia barata — “nem sequer uma pneumonia dupla”, ironizou dr. Carlos Passos — e emigrou para o astral. Silenciosamente, numa tosse discreta e tímida. Fosse outro e poderia ter escapado, ter vencido a doença, pouco mais do que uma gripe. Gil, porém, estava cansado, tão cansado!, não se dispunha a esperar doença séria e grave. Além do mais, não tinha ilusões: doença de qualidade, importante, moléstia da moda, cara, falada nos jornais, não chegaria para ele, o melhor era mesmo contentar-se com sua mesquinha pneumonia. Assim o fez e, sem se despedir, faltou com o corpo, descansou.”

“But whatever he spoke he knew would be but another name for the wildness that he sought. It was a freedom and a goodness, a hope and a vigor that he perceived to underlie all the familiar things of his life, which were not free or good or hopeful or vigorous. What he sought was the source and preserver of his world, a world which seemed to turn ever in fear away from its source, rather than search it out, as the prairie grass around him sent down its fibered roots into the rich dark dampness, the Wildness, and thereby renewed itself, year after year.”

Bring Me HomeBookQuoters 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.
