“That's how birthdays were in our house. All hateful charades of pretty clothes, expensive presents, and ugly words . . .”
― Debbie Howells, quote from The Bones of You
“I discover, too, that grief is different to different people. Comes in many guises. In shocked silences and closed doors around our village, as people try to shut it out. That a blank face or fleeting smile can hide the worst, most private kind of agony.”
― Debbie Howells, quote from The Bones of You

“Batman doesn't have to put up with this shit--why should we?”
― Caitlin Moran, quote from How to Be a Woman
“- Там има сив патрул - промърмори Киун.
- Какво от това? - каза Румата. - Я по-добре чуй още едно разсъждение, уважаеми Киун. Ние обичаме и ценим тези прости и груби момчета, нашия боен добитък. Те са ни потребни. Занапред всеки от простолюдието трябва да си свива езика, ако не иска да увисне на бесилката. - Той се разсмя на глас, защото беше казан идеално - в най-добрите традиции на сивите казарми.
Киун настръхна и сгуши глава между раменете си.
- Езикът на простолюдието трябва да си знае мястото. Бог съвсем не му е дал език, за да плещи, а да лиже ботуша на господаря си, а на него от веки веков му се полага господар...”

“Dreams only come true if you

― Tina Reber, quote from Love Unrehearsed
“ "I don't suppose you remember where you left your clothing," Daniel murmured to me.
Chloe gave a soft laugh. "That's always the problem, isn't it? Okay then. You two go find that. We'll meet you here. Hopefully everyone will be in human form." A wry smile. "Though I'll warn you, he's not a whole lot more pleasant that way. At least as a wolf, he can't talk."
The wolf growled, but she only laughed and gave him a pat, then tugged him away as we went to retrieve my clothing.”

The Lost Gate - Shad...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.
