“Don't sound so grumpy. Next thing you know you'll be whinning and giving me puppy dog eyes.”
― Dana Marie Bell, quote from Shadow of the Wolf
“Hello! Hunk getting naked time. You expected me not to look?”
― Dana Marie Bell, quote from Shadow of the Wolf

“She strode up some steps and banged on the door. "Now you play nice or I'll put you in the dog house."(Alannah)

― Dana Marie Bell, quote from Shadow of the Wolf
“It's extraordinary, the amount of misunderstandings there are even between two people who discuss a thing quite often - both of them assuming different things and neither of them discovering the discrepancy.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from Towards Zero

― Howard Fast, quote from The Immigrants
“Nunca se sabe, hasta el final, si lo que un día cualquiera nos sucede es historia o simple contingencia, si es todo (por trivial que parezca) o es nada (por doloroso que sea).”
― Ernesto Sabato, quote from On Heroes and Tombs
“Our society is stuck between problem and solution when it comes to treating mental illness. We cannot find a solution until we agree on the problem. And it is my humble opinion that the problem is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the misunderstood. Instead, let us seek to pursue knowledge over fear. Let's find a way to save lives that can be saved.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded
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.
