― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure

With his heart falling into a black abyss, Thomas pulled the trigger.”
― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“Dude, you tried to slice my you-know-what's off!"

" KILL ME. IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN MY FRIEND, KILL ME. ”
― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“So let's say our bloody goodbyes, and then you can promise to remember me from my good old days.
"I can't do that," Minho said.”

― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“I watched as that kid died. In his last few seconds there was pure terror in his eyes. You can't do that. You can't do that to a person.

Even if that was the only thing that had to happen to find the cure, I'd still be against it.”

― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“Fear of the unknown no longer controlled him. Hope had found its way in and taken hold.”
― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“Minho looked at Thomas, a serious expression on his face, "if I don't see you on the other side," he said in a sappy voice, "remember that I love you." Snickering at Thomas's eye roll, he went through the doors and they closed.”
― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“Vince couldn't stop talking, spilling thoughts that had obviously churned inside him for years. "We could've stopped the spread of the disease a lot better than we've been able to cure the disease... Thought the magical cure would save them in the end. But if we wait any longer we'll run out of people to save.”
― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“Whoa," Thomas said, feeling bolder by the minute. "Slim it nice and calm there, old fella. You look three steps away from a heart attack.”
― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure
“You're going to shoot me? Old pal?”
― James Dashner, quote from The Death Cure

“In America, they make such things of wire and of sponge-rubber, such as you use in the sets of tanks. You never know there, whether there is any truth in the matter, unless you are a bad boy as I am.”
― Ernest Hemingway, quote from Across the River and into the Trees
“who blamed Lee. Longstreet knew that somewhere”
― Jeff Shaara, quote from The Last Full Measure
“It is high time for the living to get tough, for toughness is indispensable in the struggle to safeguard and develop the life-force; this will not detract from their goodness, as long as they stand courageously by the truth. There is ground for hope in the fact that among millions of decent, hard-working people there are only a few plague-ridden individuals, who do untold harm by appealing to the dark, dangerous drives of the armored average man and mobilizing him for political murder. There is but one antidote to the average man's predisposition to plague: his own feelings for true life. The life force does not seek power but demands only to play its full and acknowledged part in human affairs. It manifests itself through love, work and knowledge.”
― Wilhelm Reich, quote from Listen, Little Man!
“...it is more civilized to make fun of life than to bewail it.”
― Seneca, quote from On the Shortness of Life
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.
