“I want to be wherever you are.”

“There were moments - when Jeopardy came on, in the car during radio trivia challenges, or for practically any question I couldn't answer in any subject - that Rogerson simply amazed me. I started to seek out facts, just to stump him, but it never worked. He was that sharp.

"In physics," I sprung on him as we sat in the Taco Bell drive-through, "what does the capital letter W stand for?"

"Energy," he said, handing me my burrito.

Sitting in front of my parents' house as he kissed me goodnight: "Which two planets are almost identical in size?"

"Duh," he said, smoothing my hair back, "Venus and Earth."

"Rogerson," I asked him sweetly as we sat watching a video in the pool house, "where would I find the pelagic zone?"

"In the open sea," he said. "Now shut up and eat your Junior Mints.”
― Sarah Dessen, quote from Dreamland

About BookQuoters

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.
