“Please, don't go. It's lonely. There's a hole in my head as big as the world and it's so very lonely...”
― Alan Moore, quote from Swamp Thing, Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
“You have waged bitter and undeclared war upon the green, gutting the rain forests, mile after mile, day after day, but know this: the war has come home! It is man's turn to embrace the scythe.”
― Alan Moore, quote from Swamp Thing, Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
“Yes, of course, the whole idea is utterly inane, but to let its predictable inanities blind you to its truly fabulous and breathtaking aspects is to do both oneself and the genre a disservice.”
― Alan Moore, quote from Swamp Thing, Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
“It's raining in Washington tonight. Plump, warm summer rain that covers the sidewalks with leopard spots. Downtown, elderly ladies carry their houseplants out to set them on the fire-escapes, as if they were infirm relatives or Boy Kings. I like that.”
― Alan Moore, quote from Swamp Thing, Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
“Uglier than death backin' outta the outhouse readin' mad magazine and crazy as a football bat.”

“He on his way." "Maybe he'll bring a sword." "Maybe he'll bring a tank." I shook my head. "I hate being rescued." "Then why aren't we trying to get to the car?" "Because I hate being eaten even more.”
― Seanan McGuire, quote from Ashes of Honor
“Every one is worthy of love, except him who thinks that he is. Love is a
sacrament that should be taken kneeling.”
― Oscar Wilde, quote from De Profundis
“about but a business deal?” “I—I don’t have the slightest idea!” I stammered. That’s when I looked deep into my father’s eyes and desperately pleaded with him: “DAD! PLEASE! DON’T GO TO THAT MEETING!”
― Rachel Renée Russell, quote from Dork Diaries Book 5: Tales from a Not-So-Smart Miss Know-It-All
“Volio sam knjige koje sam već bio pročitao i one koje su mi još predstojale za čitanje, taj beskonačni broj knjiga u kojima je sve praktički napisano, kako sam mislio; još kao dijete sam, to mirno mogu reći, duhovni život volio više od onog drugoga, ali nisam imao pojma što da činim, što mi omogućuje da u tome toliko voljenom duhovnom životu sudjelujem i imam udjela te da tim duhovnim životom i sam živim. Nisam imao nijednog čovjeka koji bi mi o tome dao kakvu uputu.”
― Thomas Bernhard, quote from Extinction
“The whole of world history often seems to me nothing more than a picture book which portrays humanity's most powerful and a senseless desire - the desire to forget. Does not each generation, by means of suppression, concealment, and ridicule, efface what the previous generation considered most important?”
― Hermann Hesse, quote from The Journey to the East

Hidden GatesBookQuoters 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.
