“And I see that not touching for so long was a drive to the beach with the windows rolled up so the waves feel that much colder.”
― Amy Hempel, quote from The Collected Stories
“När det gällde traditioner kunde man inte argumentera med dvärgar, lika lite som med präster om religion.”
― Cornelia Funke, quote from Reckless
“Tashi, you know I love you, don't you?" he said sofly in her ear.
She smiled: trust the son of a Horse Follower to woo in the saddle.
"I thought we were already betrothed."
"You broke it off, remember." He kissed the top of her head.
"Oh yes, I suppose I did. I'm sorry about that."
"I didn't deserve you. I don't deserve you now."
"Well, as long as you know that." She turned and gave him a mischievous smile.”

“Twilight was laying claim to the cité, and the sky was a deepening shade of lavender, spangled with stars and fleecy clouds the colour of plums.”
― Sharon Kay Penman, quote from Devil's Brood
“I sensed that not only the grand movements of the cosmos, but everything that had happened in my life, was a part of that song. Even the hurts that seemed most senseless, the mistakes I would have done anything to erase—nothing could make those things good, but good could still come out of them all the same, and in the end the oratorio would be no less beautiful for it.
I realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose. And as long as I had a part in the music of the spheres, even if it was only a single grace note, I was not worthless. Nor was I alone.”

TempestuousBookQuoters 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.
