“You become the monster you fear the worst, so the monster won't overtake you.”
― Suzanne Weyn, quote from The Bar Code Tattoo
“It'll be okay." She didn't know if it would be okay or not. She somehow doubted it, but what else was there to say?”
― Suzanne Weyn, quote from The Bar Code Tattoo
“You have to know where you were going in order to get there.”
― Suzanne Weyn, quote from The Bar Code Tattoo
“Even thought she saw tattoos everywhere, they continued to fascinate her. How bizarre to be branded like a box of cereal. Didn't people mind being counted as just one more product on a shelf? There had to be more to a person than that.”
― Suzanne Weyn, quote from The Bar Code Tattoo
“Mrs. Reed grabbed Kayla's wrist. "Good. You haven't gotten that damned tattoo. Whatever you do, don't let them make you get it.”
― Suzanne Weyn, quote from The Bar Code Tattoo
“Resistance is always lying and always full of shit.”
― Steven Pressfield, quote from The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles
“This is how it starts, among the closed circles of the marooned, the shipwrecked, the besieged: jealousy, dissention, a breach in the groupthink walls. Then the entry of the foe, the murderer, the shadow slipping in through the door we forgot to lock because we were distracted by our darker selves: nursing our minor hatreds, indulging our petty resentments, yelling at one another, tossing the crockery.”
― Margaret Atwood, quote from MaddAddam
“Holy f*ck, everything they'd said was true.”
― J. Lynn, quote from Unchained
“Because it's easier to turn off worries in the dark.
Nick met his eyes in the darkness. "Yours or Mine?"
"Both.”
― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Secret
“Others wonder, if the Bogey isn’t wearing his pants, who is?”
― Jodi Lynn Anderson, quote from May Bird Among the Stars
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.
