“Are you a female dog?"
"What?" Massie asked. "Why?"
"Because you are acting like a real bitch!”
― Lisi Harrison, quote from The Clique
“Claire, did I invite you to my barbeque?" Massie asked, her neck tilting to the right and her arms tightly crossed.
"Huh? No. I mean, I don't know," Claire said.
"Then why are you all up in my grill?" Massie said through her teeth.”

― Lisi Harrison, quote from The Clique
“Тук, на пражката гара, разбрах, че за тази половин година в хотел „Тихота“ съвсем се бях побъркал, кондукторите надуваха свирките, пътниците се качваха и заемаха местата си, кондукторите даваха с изсвирвания знак на началника движение, а аз тичах от един кондуктор при друг и подвиквах „Да, моля?“. А когато началникът изсвири, за да получи в отговор изсвирване, че всичко от страна на кондукторите е наред, че вече са затворили вратите и прочие, аз дотичах при него и учтиво изрекох: „Да, моля?“. И влакът отнасяше господин Валден, а аз крачех през пражките кръстовища и на два пъти ми се случи регулировчикът да изсвири така пронизително, че аз хуквах към него, оставях куфара в краката му и питах: „Да, моля?“.”
― Bohumil Hrabal, quote from I Served the King of England
“A real king's life is perhaps a hard one; but a pretended king's is, I warrant, much harder.”

“What an absurd torture for the artist to know that an audience identifies him with a work that, within himself, he has moved beyond and that was merely a game played with something in which he does not believe.”
― Thomas Mann, quote from Doctor Faustus
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.
