“I'm sorry," Bowen says
I look up at him."No.It's my fault for being stupid. I shouldn't have used the glass-"
"Fo," Bowen snaps, silencing me. "I'm not sorry the coagulant hurt your hand. You totally deserved it. But I'm sorry about what I said. About being stuck with you."
Sunshine spreads through my body.I sit up and beam at him."Really?"
"Yeah.Really. Aside from you being my potential-and most likely, terrible painful-death, you're not that bad." He smiles and I feel like I could float away.”

“I could have taken you to the lab right now and been done with you.Now I have to babysit you until Sunday." He shakes his head and pushes past me, grumbling under his breath.
"Gee, thanks. But you're the worst babysitter in the history of the world, Dreyden. Babysitters are supposed to be fun," I say to his back, and then stick out my tongue. Very thirteen-year old. He turns and strides up to me, eyes full of fire, not stopping until our noses touch. I gulp and force myself not to step back. "Nothing about life is fum anymore, Fo," he says. And then he leaves, feet thumping sown the stairs.”

About the author

Popular quotes

“There are many humorous things in the world; among them, the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages.”
― Mark Twain, quote from Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World

“It wasn't a bit of good fighting grown-ups. They could do exactly as they liked.”
― Enid Blyton, quote from Five on a Treasure Island

“On the last chunk of the wooden pier, the same spot where I first stepped off the ferry, Teague and I slip into a large crowd gathered around some kind of elaborate drumming ceremony. Native men, clad in robes and masks, pounding on barrels sheathed with sealskin. Their hand movements are synchronized perfectly. It’s beautiful. I watch, completely mesmerized, until Teague wraps his fingers around mine, which normally would be, well, perfect, except I am not normal and I’m far from perfect. I panic. The type of panic the universe kindly bestows upon you when the very thing you want to happen happens. For a brief second I consider the obvious solution of letting his hand go. But that would leave me with short-term comfort and long-term misery.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace

“We have to be in the present time, because only the present is real, only in the present can we be alive. We do not practice for the sake of the future, to be reborn in a paradise, but to be peace, to be compassion, to be joy right now.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, quote from Being Peace

“она была цельной натурой, начисто лишённой нюансов”
― Tove Jansson, quote from Moominpappa's Memoirs

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.
