― Tamora Pierce, quote from Street Magic

Rosethorn: "All you can do is learn good to balance the bad. Learn and do all the good within your reach. Then, if you wake in a sweat, you have something to set against the dream.”
― Tamora Pierce, quote from Street Magic
“Evvy: "Is she going to eat Jooba-hooba? She looks like she's going to bite him, at least."

“Reyes la prese in braccio con un mugolio e i due scomparvero nella fortezza; le risatine di Danika erano l’unica prova della loro presenza.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from The Darkest Whisper
“Once you had delegated the best people to do a job for you, you had to trust both them and your judgment. What”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, quote from Komarr
“Страхът бе най-важният посев за годината, надвисваше от плодовите дръечета вместо ябълки и праскови, а пчелите го събираха вместо мед. Изпод повърхността на плитката вода на оризищата избуяваше гъст страх, а из шафрановите поля страх като увивен бурен задушаваше деликатните растения. Страхът затлачваше реките като воден зюмбюл , а по високите пасбища без видима причина измираха овце и кози. Работа се намираше трудно , и за актьори, и за готвачи. Ужасът мореше живата стока като чума.”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from Shalimar the Clown
“For many, what they see on television becomes more true than what they see with their eyes in the external world. But this is not so, for one must never forget that every television and has been edited. The viewer does not see the event. He sees in edited form of the event. It is not the event which is seen, but an edited symbol or an edited image of the event. An aura and illusion of objectivity and truth is built up, which could not be totally the case, even if the people shooting the film were completely neutral.”
― Francis A. Schaeffer, quote from How Should We Then Live? The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture
“Well…Shit.” They were, as last words go, not terribly inspired. But”

A Year of Marvellous...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.
