“The sea loved the moon
When she was supposed to love the shore.
The moon knew
And hence made his intentions known.
That she should love the shore
Who was destined for her.
Yet his protests seemed weak.
And even when he pushed her towards the shore-
She always retreated back.
To want, to need, to love the moon
For all she's worth.
Everyone said, it wasn't meant to happen.
Yet, the Tsunami rose that night for their union.”
― Saiber, quote from Stardust and Sheets
“You tasted like fire
And I miss that.
So, at times
I drank a little.
And at times,
I drank too much.
But I only drank
Till it burned me enough.”
― Saiber, quote from Stardust and Sheets
“Choose wisely
From those who start
A fire in your heart.
Some may burn you to shreds,
While you were looking for warmth.”
― Saiber, quote from Stardust and Sheets
“When did you first fall in love?"
"I think, I first fell in love
when I was in fifth grade
with this boy who kept his glass ruler in the sunlight
and made rainbows on my desk with it.”
― Saiber, quote from Stardust and Sheets
“A Writer in Love.
I was just a word weaver
What did I know of love?
Only that
Some days when the words weren’t enough,
I knew
I was in love.”
― Saiber, quote from Stardust and Sheets
“I see specks
of the Universe in your eyes.
A body of stardust
that gives me a high.
And when we make love
the stars shine brighter than usual.
When we lie there
holding each other,
I see love making us.”
― Saiber, quote from Stardust and Sheets
“Outline of your frame
My paper witness your silhouette
Sipping in coffee
My muse, my Juliet.
Afternoon spent,
In hungry desires
Ending with a kiss
On your coffee lips.”
― Saiber, quote from Stardust and Sheets

“The point of freewriting is to get past the voice inside your head that tells you your ideas aren't good enough, your words aren't good enough, you're no writer and so forth.”

“It’s WA today, Minna,” called Orson from across the room, Orson’s name for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Orson played second violin with a sloppy serenity, rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue, his bowing long and sweeping and beautiful even when out of tune. “If you must make a mistake,” he had quoted, “make it a big one.” Was it Heifetz who had said it? Perlman? Zukerman maybe?”
― Patricia MacLachlan, quote from The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt

Red HarvestBookQuoters 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.
