― 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.”

“It won’t work, you know,” said Jaxxon in a bored, flat tone. “Trying to make me feel small…It won’t work. I feel sorry for you if you have to put other people down to make yourself feel big.” Isla guffawed, but Jaxxon could tell that her directness had put Isla out of her comfort zone. “Sweetheart, if you’re such a sensitive person then fame really isn’t for you.” “Sensitive?” Jaxxon smiled. “No. You see the thing is, sweetheart, unless insults come from someone who I care about, I really couldn’t give a shit about their opinion. It’s the fact that you’re trying so hard to get at me that I don’t like. If you can’t handle frankness, then having a conversation with me really isn’t for you.” Merely”
― Suzanne Wright, quote from From Rags
“He didn’t operate on the same frequency as everyone else. On one hand, he was more dangerous than anyone I’d ever met.
He could slip into a room, kill you with a spatula, and be out of town before anyone knew about it. On the other, he was the most pure, untarnished soul I’d ever come across. It was an odd mix so uniquely Kale, and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Toxic
“I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it.”
― Gertrude Stein, quote from The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
“In the end, the train stood 2 hours motionless in the middle of nowhere.
Every minute seemed like an eternity.
Time felt crept by slowly, with clear malice towards me. All I could do was grip my teeth and try to hold back my tears...
Akari... Please, don't wait for me...
If you'd just go home.”
― Makoto Shinkai, quote from 5 Centimeters per Second
“Cuando se ha pasado de los treinta años, aún puede sentirse un intenso afecto y también inspirarlo, pero ¡ay del hombre que a esta edad quiere mezclarse en los juegos de los amores juveniles! Ya no encontramos la alegría en sus labios, la tierna felicidad en sus ojos, la deliciosa sinrazón en su lenguaje. Busca la manera de agradar y ya no posee el instinto fácil que la inspira. Razona el amor. Las más maliciosas y juguetonas desprecian sus lecciones y huyen con raudo vuelo a buscar la compañía de los jóvenes.”
― Jan Potocki, quote from The Manuscript Found in Saragossa

RevelationBookQuoters 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.
