Alexander: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Raven: "The girls are drooling all over you!"
Alexander: "Well, there is only one girl I want to be with and she's right here.”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from The Coffin Club

'I’ll give you something to remember me by,' I said. The back of my head.' I pushed past him and escaped through the door to freedom.”

“In natural life, as long as he finds food, a lion does not wander over great distances, and certainly Elsa had seen more of the world than she would have done living with a pride. Yet she knew her home, and whenever we returned from safari she would go straight back to her habits and usual routine.”
― Joy Adamson, quote from Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds
“She licks her lips, and then there is darkness.”
― Zoraida Córdova, quote from The Vicious Deep
“- Allora vengo. Non ho mai preso un treno.
Will alzò le braccia al cielo. - Vieni perché non hai mai preso un treno prima d'ora? - Si - confermò Tessa, sapendo quanto il suo atteggiamento calmo lo facesse impazzire. - Mi piacerebbe prenderne uno, moltissimo.
- I treni sono grandi cose sudice - disse Will. - Non ti piacerà.
Tessa fu irremovibile. - Finché non avrò provato non posso sapere se mi piacerà o meno, no?”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Prince
“Hace algún tiempo que el mundo gira en torno al dinero, ya no en torno a la historia.”
― Robert Walser, quote from Jakob von Gunten
“I feared a love like this—that made us incomplete without each other. It was beautiful but treacherous, like snow that looked white and pure and lovely from the safety of your window, but when you stepped out to touch the softness, the cold first stole your breath, and then your will to move, until you could just lay down in it and let the numbness take you.”
― Ann Aguirre, quote from Horde
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.
