You called me a cospl...
How'd you get all the way up to the third-floor window...
Because I'm a cat.”

― R.C. Sproul, quote from The Holiness of God
“A woman who likes her whisky,” he said while refilling her glass. “Careful that you doona steal my heart, Annalía.” “It figures that the one requirement you’d have for your woman is ‘whisky drinker.’” “Aye, but that’s only after ‘walks upright.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from If You Dare
“A nothing that said everything. - Pg. 173”
― Robert Harris, quote from Pompeii
“(...) Qual sera o destino de Helène? O meu, certamente. Que meios têm as mães de assegurar às suas filhas que o homem ao qual elas serão entregues será o esposo de seus corações? As pobres criaturas que se vendem por alguns trocados a um homem qualquer são humilhadas, mas a fome e a necessidade absolvem essas uniões efêmeras; enquanto a sociedade tolera e encoraja a união imediata, da mesma maneira horrível, de uma jovem menina ingênua e de um homem que ela mal conhecia há três meses; ela é vendida por toda sua vida. É verdade que o preço é alto! Se, não permitindo nenhum compensação a suas dores, ele será honrado; mas, não, o mundo calunia as mais virtuosas dentre nós! Este é nosso destino, visto sob duas faces: uma prostituição pública e a vergonha, e uma prostituição secreta e a tristeza. Quanto às pobres meninas sem dote, elas se tornam loucas, elas morrem; para elas, não há piedade! A beleza, as virtudes não são valores no bazar humano, e esse antro de egoísmo é chamado de Sociedade. Mas que as mulheres sejam deserdadas! Ao menos assim, uma lei da natureza será cumprida ao escolher as companhias, casando-as segundo a vontade de seus corações.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from A Woman Of Thirty
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.
