“For throughout history, you can read the stories of women who - against all the odds - got being a woman right, but ended up being compromised, unhappy, hobbled or ruined, because all around them, society was still wrong. Show a girl a pioneering hero - Sylvia Plath, Dorothy Parker, Frida Kahlo, Cleopatra, Boudicca, Joan of Arc - and you also, more often than not, show a girl a woman who was eventually crushed.”
― Caitlin Moran, quote from How to Be a Woman
“If I could imagine myself as God, I’d become him!”

“I’d never take from you regardless.”
His shoulders dropped. “That’s why I want to give you everything.”

“I looked over at the others. "Anyone have tree-climbing issues?"
Obviously Ash and I didn't. Daniel, Hayley, and Corey said they'd be fine. Chloe hoped she would—she had gymnastics training. Mr. Bae joked that it would be his first time in a couple of decades. Derek said nothing.
"Derek?"
"It looks like I'll be the guy doing the distracting. I'm not trusting a tree branch to hold me."
"You're not playing decoy," Chloe said. She turned to us. "I'm sorry. I know that sounds like a cop-out, but he really can't. The last time we were in a fight against the St. Clouds, the orders were to tranq all of us except Derek. For him, it was shoot to kill. They don't trust werewolves."
"I think they've calmed down," Derek said. "They've been watching us for months and haven't tried to assassinate me yet."
Chloe put her hands on her hips. "And that's your definition of acceptance? Not going out of their way to kill you?" ”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from The Rising
“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).”

MeditationsBookQuoters 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.
