“You, my dear, are getting curiouser and curiouser. Like Alice down the rabbit hole, nothing is as it appears.”
― Teri Terry, quote from Shattered
“...as the sun shines down to melt the ice of another winter, to summon spring wildflowers from the earth; as the sky darkens with sudden, drenching showers before the sun returns, I know that both pain and joy are needed for life to grow.”
― Teri Terry, quote from Shattered
“Like Aiden said: how can you truly love somebody when you don’t know who they really are?”
― Teri Terry, quote from Shattered
“Caring for someone is never a bad thing, even if it doesn't work out”
― Teri Terry, quote from Shattered
“It doesn't look much from the outside. But what you get outside is often like that. People, especially, can be so different from what you can see that you'd never guess what goes on in their secret places. What they are capable of.”
― Teri Terry, quote from Shattered
“Turn around? No. Keep going, it's the only way to make sure I don't end up going back and forth.”
― Teri Terry, quote from Shattered
“I have both been given and taken so many identities, but at last I am beginning to grow into my one true name.
This was the gift my mother gave to me: Hope.”
― Teri Terry, quote from Shattered
“I imagine the touch of someone who loves you so much, he cannot bear to watch you sleep; and so you wake up with his hand on your heart.”
― Jodi Picoult, quote from Change of Heart
“Si te lo pidiese, ¿matarías a Terah de Graesin? logan
—Sin dudarlo.
—Si no te lo pidiera, ¿lo harías de todas formas?
—Sí.
—¿Lo has estado planeando?
—Sí.
—¡Maldita sea, Kylar! Ahora lo sé.
—¿Pues para qué lo preguntas?
—Para eliminar la excusa. ¿Se puede gobernar con justicia después de
haber conseguido el trono injustamente?
—Buena pregunta para planteársela a la mujer que te robó el tuyo.”
― Brent Weeks, quote from Beyond the Shadows
“Life is a funny thing. We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn't waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from It Ends with Us
“I love you," she whispered.
Richard pulled her tight against him. His fingers traced a trail down the bumps of her spine.
"I feel so frustrated that there aren't any better words than "I love you,"" he said. "It doesn't seem enough for the way I feel about you. I'm sorry there aren't any better words to tell you."
"They are words enough for me."
"Then, I love you, Kahlan. A thousand times, a million times, I love you. Forever.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Stone of Tears
“I'm just curious, how'd you get into this line of work?"
"Gradually, and then suddenly”
― Emily St. John Mandel, quote from Station Eleven
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.
