Quotes from Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy Deluxe Boxed Set

“She wondered why she, who had such difficulty talking about herself with people of flesh and blood, could blithely reveal her most intimate secrets to a bunch of completely unknown freaks on the Internet.”
― Stieg Larsson, quote from Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy Deluxe Boxed Set

“Salander was dressed for the day in a black T-shirt with a picture on it of E.T. with fangs, and the words I AM ALSO AN ALIEN. She had on a black skirt that was frayed at the hem, a worn-out black, mid-length leather jacket, rivet belt, heavy Doc Marten boots, and horizontally striped, green-and-red knee socks. She had put on make-up in a colour scheme that indicated she might be colourblind. In other words, she was exceptionally decked out.”
― Stieg Larsson, quote from Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy Deluxe Boxed Set

“I've never had a boy in here," Martin said in a serious voice. "I've never touched another man, as a matter of fact. . . .except for my father. That was my duty.”
― Stieg Larsson, quote from Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy Deluxe Boxed Set

“Fantaseó con una cerilla y un bidón de gasolina.”
― Stieg Larsson, quote from Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy Deluxe Boxed Set

“Fue así como ocurrió. Lo que antes parecía puro azar adquirió de repente una dimensión diferente.”

“В онези дни домът на военния диктатор напомняше по-скоро на дом за сираци, отколкото на седалище на държавната власт. И за всичко беше виновна Благовестка: от корема й като от рога на изобилието се изсипваха все повече и повече деца. Двадесет и седем деца между една и шестгодишна възраст се оригваха, лигавеха, пълзяха, драскаха с цветни моливи по стените, редяха кубчета, ревяха, заливаха се със сок, заспиваха, падаха по стълбите, чупеха вазите, ту плачеха, чу се смееха, пееха, играеха, скачаха, напикаваха се в пелените и гащите си, молеха за внимание, бърбореха току-що научени мръсни думи, ритаха бавачките си, в никакъв случай не искаха да си мият зъбите, дърпаха за брадата учителя си по религия, който ги учеше да пишат и да четат Корана, разкъсваха пердетата, цапаха диваните, изгубваха се от погледа на възрастните, връщаха се с рани навсякъде по тялото. Бягаха, когато видеха иглата за ваксинация, хем искаха домашни животни, хем тутакси губеха интерес към тях, влачеха по пода малки радиоприемници , втурваха се в стаите, където се провеждаха правителствени заседания (а те не бяха рядкост в този побъркан дом).”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from Shame

“MARCUS ANDRONICUS: Now is a time to storm; why art thou still?

TITUS ANDRONICUS: Ha, ha, ha!

MARCUS ANDRONICUS: Why dost thou laugh? it fits not with this hour.

TITUS ANDRONICUS: Why, I have not another tear to shed:”
― William Shakespeare, quote from Titus Andronicus

“I started to fire back, but Tink suddenly appeared in the open doorway, and what the? He had one of those skillets just large enough to cook an egg in, and he was holding it over his head like a battle-axe. I was kind of surprised that he could carry the pan, but Tink was buff for a little guy. He had a six-pack—a brownie six-pack. His face was contorted in a silent battle cry as he started into the room.

Wide-eyed, I shook my head. As much as I appreciated the effort, his interference would not end well. That small as hell frying panwas not going to do any damage. Thankfully, Tink froze and lowered the pan. A second passed then he zoomed out of the doorway.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Wicked

“we believed that God worried over us each of us. Strange that we should realize Pride is a sin yet still be willing prey to such arrogance. We had only to look around us to know how foolish the idea was. Where was the farmer who knew each of his seeds by name? Where was the beekeeper who labled his bees? Where was the herdsman who distinguished among individual blades of grass? Compared to the size of creation, what were we but very small beings, as bees are small, as seeds of corn are small, as blades of grass are small? And yet corn becomes bread; bees make honey; grass is turned into flesh, or into gardens. Very small beings are important, not individually but for what they become, if they become…. The”

“In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction. They”

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.
