“You are my drug of choice, and I plan to overdose.”
― Angie Stanton, quote from Snapshot
“Because I need you more right now than I need to breathe.”
― Angie Stanton, quote from Snapshot
“When a person is so irresponsible and self-centered that they can’t look out for the basic needs of their own family and they actually cause irreparable harm to their own children, that’s totally unacceptable. And when they treat other people like they exist only to serve them, that’s not only rude and offensive, it’s completely wrong. No one on this earth should be allowed to step on other people just to build themselves up.”
― Angie Stanton, quote from Snapshot
“We need something fun to remember when we look back at our youth.”
― Angie Stanton, quote from Snapshot
“However you identify, be it lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, asexual, curious, or carrot, we all have something in common—we are a minority, and we have made brave steps to identify as such; we have refused to hide and made a declaration of who we are.”
― James Dawson, quote from This Book is Gay
“There is hell now, and there is hell later, and Jesus teaches us to take both seriously.”
― Rob Bell, quote from Love Wins Low Price CD: Love Wins Low Price CD
“I promise to plant kisses like seeds on you body, so in time you can grow to love yourself as I love you.”
― Tyler Knott Gregson, quote from Chasers of the Light: Poems from the Typewriter Series
“Over the phone, her laughter sounded like a warm bath.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, quote from Homeland and Other Stories
“We have become such a pragmatic society with our pros and cons and schedules that when we get to matters of radical obedience, it’s easy for us to talk ourselves out of it. We rationalize that if the cost outweighs the benefit, then we shouldn’t do it. God’s Word in 1 Corinthians 1 says: “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. . . . Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?” (1:18, 20)”
― quote from Anything: The Prayer That Unlocked My God and My Soul
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.
