“Physically, mentally, emotionally -- it seems like every part of me is broken in one way or another.”
― Patrick Carman, quote from Skeleton Creek
“Creo que mis escritores favoritos son los que reconocieron que no podían vivir sin escribir. (...), tipos para los que escribir era tan esencial como el aire y el agua. Escribir o morir intentándolo. Esa forma de pensar coincide conmigo. Por eso estoy aquí.”
― Patrick Carman, quote from Skeleton Creek
“Lo que más odio de escribir en la era digital es que todo acaba por desaparecer.
Es como escribir cartas que se evaporan en el aire después de que uno las lea.
Por eso hago copias.
El papel dura siempre.”
― Patrick Carman, quote from Skeleton Creek
“Un simple clic; no hace falta nada más para cambiar una vida.
A veces para mejor.
A veces para mucho peor.
Pero nunca lo pensamos.
Hacemos clic y ya está.”
― Patrick Carman, quote from Skeleton Creek
“No es cuestión de preguntarnos si queremos o no queremos ir. Tenemos que ir.”
― Patrick Carman, quote from Skeleton Creek
“It all scares me, and it's all like clothes in a dryer that just keep rolling around in my head from one day to the next.”

“And what is happiness, Nathan? In my experience, it's only a moment's pause here and there on what is otherwise a long and difficult road. No one can be happy all the time.”
― William Kent Krueger, quote from Ordinary Grace
“Monsieur, c'est trop d'honneur que vous me voulez faire;
Mais l'amitié demande un peu plus de mystère,
Et c'est assurément en profaner le nom
Que de vouloir le mettre à toute occasion.
Avec lumière et choix cette union veut naître;
Avant que nous lier, il faut nous mieux connaître,
Et nous pourrions avoir telles complexions,
Que tous deux du marché nous nous repentirions.”
― Molière, quote from The Misanthrope
“Hanging upside down above them was a fat, frog-faced creature. Its head and feet were amphibious, with slimy, bumpy skin and a puffed, bulbous pouch under its lower lip, but it had the arms, legs, and body of a human being. It was the creature’s long sticky green tongue”
― Michael Buckley, quote from The Unusual Suspects
“Yes, you scare me,” I told him, after a very long silence, while I processed his answer. “But I’m irrevocably fucked up, so you excite me in equal measures. I find it liberating, to let someone control me…”

“Anyone can make a mistake.... It's how they learn from it and recover from it that shows their true worth.”

The Skull ThroneBookQuoters 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.
