Quotes from The Beach House

“Anyone can live in a house, but homes are created with patience, time and love.”
― Jane Green, quote from The Beach House

“Secrets become harder to keep the older you get. The things you think you can suppress, those idiosyncrasies and fantasies you hope no one will ever discover, become harder and harder to hide as the years advance.

Partly it is maturity-the fear of discovery grows smaller, less significant, for you learn that none of us is perfect, that human nature is flawed, that life twists and turns in all sorts of unexpected ways and it is okay to end up in a different place to where you expected.”
― Jane Green, quote from The Beach House

“The woman on the bike raises her head and looks at the sky, sniffs, smiles to herself. A foggy day in Nantucket, but she has lived here long enough to know this is merely a morning fog, and the bright early-June sunshine will burn it off by midday, leaving a beautiful afternoon.”
― Jane Green, quote from The Beach House

“Good. She is planning lunch on the deck today, is on her way into town via her neighbor’s house, where she has spent the last hour or so”
― Jane Green, quote from The Beach House

“He was sensitive, quiet. He liked parties that were small and intimate, where you could connect with people, hear one another’s thoughts, not parties with roaring music, meat markets where you couldn’t hear one another think.”
― Jane Green, quote from The Beach House

“إنّ الانسان لايُناضل إلا من أجل مايُحِبّ، ولايُحِبّ إلا ماهو حريٌّ بالتقدير والاحترام، فكيف يُطلب من مواطن أن يُحبّ وطنه ويُقدّرُه وهو يجهل تاريخه ولايشعر في قرارة نفسه بأنّه ينعم بما تُؤمّنُه الدول الأخرى لرعاياها من أمن ورفاهية.”
― Adolf Hitler, quote from Mein Kampf

“I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's, but behind all of them, there's only one truth and that is that there is no truth... No truth behind all truths is what I and this church preach! Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place... In yourself right now is all the place you've got.”
― Flannery O'Connor, quote from Wise Blood

“Fat realized that one of two possibilities existed and only two; either Dr. Stone was totally insane – not just insane but totally so – or else in an artful, professional fashion he had gotten Fat to talk; he had drawn Fat out and now knew that Fat was totally insane.”
― Philip K. Dick, quote from VALIS

“It is only after slavery and prison that the sweetest appreciation of freedom can come. ”
― Malcolm X, quote from The Autobiography of Malcolm X

― Paul Kalanithi, quote from When Breath Becomes Air

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.
