― Bree Despain, quote from The Dark Divine

I am the monster.”

just bail--"
Pete's not as nice as you think," Daniel grumbled.
I laughed. "Are you jealous? Pete's just a friend--"
Daniel grabbed me by the hips. "Of course I'm jealous, Gracie. You just told me that you love me
but you are going out with another guy. But this is more important than my jealousy. If I'm
staying here, then you have to stay in. I've got enough to keep my eye on. I can't have you out
there. Not tonight.”
― Bree Despain, quote from The Dark Divine

ones. You can fight it. You can turn this curse into a blessing. You can become the hero. You
can become truly divine.”

“Смисълът, ценностите, моралът и добрият живот по необходимост са свързани с факти, свързани с благосъ
стояниетона съзнателни същества – и в нашия случай би трябвало да зависят закономерно от събития във външния свят и от състояния на човешкия мозък. Рационалното, непредубедено и
почтено изследване винаги е било единственият източник на познание
в подобни процеси. Вярата – ако изобщо може да се окаже права за нещо – е права само по случайност.”
― Sam Harris, quote from The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values


“But chains made out of blood and memory were a thousand times more difficult to sever than those made of steel, and the past could overtake a person if she wasn’t careful"

"The day had begun, cool and clear and absolutely impossible to avoid"

"Being a physician is like working on a machine that keeps breaking down, time after time"

― Ken Follett, quote from The Man From St. Petersburg


“Malachi sighed as he gazed at me. Even from that distance, the heat of his expression blew several circuits in my mind. “Because of the way she looked at me. She should have looked at me with fear. I did some pretty scary things. Most people would agree I am a scary person.”

I stared at him, amazed as he echoed my own words so flawlessly.

“But that’s not how she looked at me. She looked at me as if she saw something else inside me—something wonderful, something worth knowing—and she was the only person who could make it come out. She taught me things. She gave me things. Amazing things. A vision of myself—different from what I had been, better, but still me. I don’t think she really recognized how she was bringing me to life. It came so naturally to her.”

“I don’t know if I did the same for her,” he said quietly. “Since we’re here right now, my guess would be that I didn’t. But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change how I feel. I love her, and I would do anything for her.”
― Sarah Fine, quote from Sanctum


“Having firstrate people on the team is more important than designing hierarchies and clarifying who reports to whom”
― Warren Buffett, quote from The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America

About BookQuoters

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.
