“See me just as I see you.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from See Me
“Когато бях малък често се къпех заедно с мама и тя изобщо не си криеше гърдите от мен, дори можех да си играя с тях, но от няколко месеца тя реши, че вече ми е забранено и сега само татко има право да ги вижда, освен самата мама, разбира се. Странно нещо са женските гърди: в началото на живота носът ти постоянно е заврян в тях, а после малко по малко се отдръпват и идва един ден, в който дори нямаш право да ги виждаш. Но по телевизията и във филмите жените показват гърдите си пред всички, целите освен зърното, сякаш зърното съдържа някаква свещена тайна, а пък не е така. Най-често дори нямат мляко.”
― Nancy Huston, quote from Fault Lines
“This is how it is now. This is my life.”
― Laura Moriarty, quote from The Center of Everything
“The Princess Saralinda was tall, with freesias in her dark hair, and she wore serenity brightly like the rainbow. It was not easy to tell her mouth from the rose, or her brow from the white lilac. Her voice was faraway music, and her eyes were candles burning on a tranquil night. She moved across the room like wind in violets, and her laughter sparkled on the air, which, from her presence, gained a faint and undreamed fragrance. The Prince was frozen by her beauty, but not cold, and the Duke, who was cold but not frozen, held up the palms of his gloves, as if she were a fire at which to warm his hands.”
― James Thurber, quote from The 13 Clocks
“Everything excellent is as difficult as it is rare.”

The Book of ThreeBookQuoters 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.
