“He brought his lips to my ear. "I would have been gentle with you, though." I shuddered as I closed my eyes. Every inch of my body went taut as his words echoed through me. "I would have had you moaning my name throughout it all. And I would have taken a very, very long time, Feyre.”
― Sarah J. Maas, quote from A Court of Thorns and Roses
“It's my turn to see you through,' she whispers, coming back to me and wrapping me in her blanket as I lose my shit all over again. She holds me until I recover my Y chromosome.”

“: يقول جيمس راي
كان الإمتنان تمرينا فعالا لي .
في كل صباح انهض واقول الحمد لله وفي كل صباح حينما تلمس قدمي أرض الغرفه أقول الحمد لله ثم أبدأ في التفكير في الأشياء التي تستحق الحمد هذا بينما أغسل أسناني وأقوم بطقوس الصباح ولا اكتفي فقط بالتفكير بشأنها والقيام ببعض العادات الروتينيه بل إنني أصوغ الحمد وألهج به واستشعر في نفسي مشاعر الإمتنان .”
― Rhonda Byrne, quote from The Secret
“Words are the only bullets in truth's bandolier. And poets are the snipers.”

Grit: The Banter and...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.
