About the author

Popular quotes

“But I did feel the vertigo of death’s invitation, beckoning me towards the dark waters below. Only a newfound perspective and desire steadied my wavering soul. I came to realize, just in time, that suicide was far too easy – and obscenely cowardly – after someone I knew, not even half my age, had been through so much worse and still marched gloriously on.”
― Zack Love, quote from Anissa's Redemption

“What good is a book no-one can read, save for the paper?" He was lucky I'd had to let him live. If my glare could have started a fire, he'd have been charred.”
― Kaje Harper, quote from Nor Iron Bars a Cage

“Our marriage ended because I couldn’t make him see me or hear me or do anything I wanted or needed. I could only be as selfish and mean as he was to get his attention. And that was ruinous.”
― quote from The Divorce Papers

“Deuce," I whispered,
"You love me"?
His eyes went skyward, and he snorted.
"Babe.Yeah. Long time now".”
― quote from Undeniable

“Ne eglaitė, bet didžiulė eglė buvo atitempta ir įvairiaspalvėm elektros lemputėm apkabinėta. Pirmą Kalėdų dieną Majeriui išėjo toks reikalas porą katorgininkėlių viešai pakarti. Jo įsakymu šalia žiburiuojančios eglės buvo pastatytos kartuvės. Tam tikru skambalu iškilmingai buvo sušaukti visi katorgininkai, dailiai išrikiuoti: tuodu katorgininkėliu buvo labai gražiai Kalėdų proga pakarti šalia eglelės su margaspalvėm lemputėm. Taip ir buvo visą Kalėdų pirmą dieną iki vakaro: čia spindi, žybčioja eglė savo žiburėliais, čia šalia jos - pakaruoklėliai kabalduoja.
Pavyzdingas to Majerio skonis buvo!”
― Balys Sruoga, quote from Forest of the Gods

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.
