“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.”

― quote from Thank You for Being Such a Pain: Spiritual Guidance for Dealing with Difficult People
“If the gardinel's an old folk's tale, I'm honest to tell you it's a true one.
Few words about them are best, I should reckon. They look some way like a shed or a cabin, snug and rightly made, except the open door could be a mouth, the two little windows might could be eyes. Never you'll see one on the main roads or near towns; only back in the thicketty places, by high trails among tall ridges, and they show themselves there when it rains and storms and a lone farer hopes to come to a house to shelter him.”
― Manly Wade Wellman, quote from Who Fears The Devil
“Awyr y gynhelir adenydd fy mrawd Rwy'n agor fy hun i chi Cadw ni'n ddiogel ac nid ydynt yn ymladd y dyfodol, rydym yn dod i chi Tawel eich hun!”

That BoyBookQuoters 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.
