“He was just a child himself, she saw. And lonely. He was the kind of man who probably always would be. 'Would you like some cake?' she tried. His countenance brightened. He would like some cake, he realized. He would like some cake very much indeed; he would like it above anything. When Sarah brought a slice of fruitcake up on a pretty blue-rimmed plate, she found that Mary was now also in the breakfast room, sitting stiffly on an upright chair near the young clergyman; she look round, heavy-eyed, when Sarah came in. Sarah had the distinct impression that she had disturbed not a conversation but a silence. Mary must be struggling to converse with him -- Sarah could sympathize -- too much time spent with books had not fitted her to be easy with herself, and other people. The young lady got up abruptly, and went to the window, and Mr. Collins got up too, looking relieved. He took the plat from Sarah and was profuse in his thanks, but then, with Mary there, did not know what to do with the cake after all.”
― Jo Baker, quote from Longbourn
“My tight black spaghetti-strap dress threaded with gold was a tad short. And by short, I mean it was like wearing a belt. I’d bought it with the idea of branching out from my usual Keds and jeans and pairing it with leggings. But no, not tonight. If I dropped anything, it was going to stay on the freaking ground.”
― Natasha Boyd, quote from Eversea
“Making love with you is even more wonderful than making music."
He drew her closer. "Och, Sarah, you _are_ my music.”

“Rabin i biskup živeli su jedan pored drugog stalno se takmičeći. Jednog jutra rabin je primetio da je biskup kupio novi auto. Rabin ga upita:
- Šta to radiš? - biskup je polivao auto vodom
- Kupio sam novi auto "kadilak", osveštavam ga
Sledećeg dana biskup pita rabina
- Šta to radiš?
Najnoviji model rols ojska stajao je ispred rabinove kuće a rabin mu je sekao auspuh.
- Obrezujem ga
To je tačno ono što oni rade svojoj deci. A svako dete je jednako nevino i bespomoćno; ono niti zna šta mu rade niti mu je to potrebno, niti to može da spreči. POrodica je izvor svih okova svesti: ona ti daje u nasleđe svu prošlost i ogorman teret prepun stavova za koje je već odavno dokazano da su pogrešni. Pretovaren si svim time i tvoj um je zapušen tako da ne može da primi ništa novo što je u suprotnosti s već formalnim konceptima u tvojoj glavi. Tvoj um je jednostavno pun smeća.”
― Osho, quote from Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other

Sherlock Holmes: The...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.
