“The girl wore her scars the way some women wore their finest jewelry.”
― Sarah J. Maas, quote from The Assassin and the Healer


“Let me give you a bit of advice.' the girl said bitterly, 'from one working girl to another; life isn't easy, no matter where you are. You'll make choices you think are right and then suffer for them.' Those remarkable eyes flickered. 'So if you're going to be miserable, you might as well go to Antica and be miserable in the shadow of the Torre Cesme.”
― Sarah J. Maas, quote from The Assassin and the Healer

― Sarah J. Maas, quote from The Assassin and the Healer


“Let me give you a bit of advice," the girl said bitterly, "from one working girl to another: Life isn't easy, no matter where you are. You'll make choices you think are right, and then suffer for them." Those remarkable eyes flickered. " So if you're going to be miserable, you mights well go.”
― Sarah J. Maas, quote from The Assassin and the Healer

― Sarah J. Maas, quote from The Assassin and the Healer

“In One Dimensions, did not a moving Point produce a Line with two terminal points?
In two Dimensions, did not a moving Line produce a Square wit four terminal points?
In Three Dimensions, did not a moving Square produce - did not the eyes of mine behold it - that blessed being, a Cube, with eight terminal points?
And in Four Dimensions, shall not a moving Cube - alas, for Analogy, and alas for the Progress of Truth if it be not so - shall not, I say the motion of a divine Cube result in a still more divine organization with sixteen terminal points?
Behold the infallible confirmation of the Series, 2, 4, 8, 16: is not this a Geometrical Progression? Is not this - if I might qupte my Lord's own words - "Strictly according to Analogy"?
Again, was I not taught by my Lord that as in a Line there are two bonding points, and in a Square there are four bounding Lines, so in a Cube there must be six bounding Squares? Behold once more the confirming Series: 2, 4, 6: is not this an Arithmetical Progression? And consequently does it not of necessity follow that the more divine offspring of the divine Cube in the Land of Four Dimensions, must have eight bounding Cubes: and is not this also, as my Lord has taught me to believe, "strictly according to analogy"?”
― Edwin A. Abbott, quote from Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions


“النية الحسنة لاتكفي....

إن الوقوع في الحب شيء سحري دائماً....تشعر كأنه أبدي وكأنه سيدوم لأبد...إننا نعتقد بسذاجة أننا مستثنون من المشكلات التي واجهها آبائنا وأمهاتنا

ولايوجد لدينا احتما بأن الحب قد يموت ومطمئنون إلى أنه وجد ليبقى وأنه مقدر لنا أن نعيش سعداء إلى الأبد ...!!! ولكن السحر يتقهقر وتكون الغلبة للحياة اليومية..!!!

ويظهر للعيان أن الرجال يتوقعون من النساء أن يفكرن وأن تكون ردود أفعالهن مثل الرجال والنساء يتوقعن أن يشعر الرجال ويتصرفنون مثل النساء ودون وعي صريح باختلافاتنا فنحن لا نأخذ الوقت الكافي لنفهم ونحترم بعضنا البعض...ونصبح كثيري المطالب قاسين ومستائين ونصدر الأحكام وغير قادرين على التحمل.

ومع أفضل وأعظم نوايا الحب يظل الحب يموت...بطريقة ما تتسلل المشكلات...يتراكم الاستياء...تتعطل الاتصالات...وتزداد عدم الثقة...وينتج الجفاء والكبت ويضيع سحر الحب”
― John Gray, quote from Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus


“Jen said some guy asked you but you didn't want to go. Why not?"
I shrug. "I have this character flaw? Called dignity?”
― A.G. Howard, quote from Splintered


“They laughed much harder than the memory was funny because it felt good to laugh.”
― Shannon Hale, quote from Enna Burning


“If you are feeling more yourself, there is a problem best addressed immediately," said the queen.
"In my nightshirt?" The king wriggled, as ever, out of straightforward obedience.
"Your attendants. I have spoken to them. You will speak to them as well."
"Ah. They have seen me in my nightshirt." He looked down at his sleeve, embroidered with white flowers. "Not in your nightshirt, though.”
― Megan Whalen Turner, quote from The King of Attolia

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.
