“Gray was two people from different worlds coming together unexpectedly and creating something new. Gray took the best parts of us both and fit them together into something larger than we were apart.”
― Tara Sue Me, quote from The Dominant

Cans, because it was her who show me that I could be much more than the world thought. We could be much more than the world thought. - Nathaniel West”

“Yo podía disfrutar y quedarme con aquella parte de Abby sin preocuparme por el futuro: la sumisión y la confianza que me estaba entregando en ese instante.”

“Cuando me encontré con sus ojos ya no pude apartar la mirada. En sus profundidades encontré la respuesta a todas las preguntas que mi corazón no se atrevía a formular. En ellos vi reflejado mi propio deseo y mi soledad.”
― Tara Sue Me, quote from The Dominant
“En absoluto. Antes sí era un hombre seguro de mí mismo, pero ya no lo soy. Cuando estoy contigo, ya no nunca estoy seguro de nada.”

“You can have all the right ingredients, have measured them carefully and mixed them, but without warmth, you'll end up with a loaf of bread flatter than a plate. And while you might be able to eat it, it won't feed you.”
― quote from Stray
“Nobody can imagine how nothing could turn into something. Nobody can get an inch nearer to it by explaining how something could turn into something else. It is really far more logical to start by saying ‘In the beginning God created heaven and earth’ even if you only mean ‘In the beginning some unthinkable power began some unthinkable process.’ For God is by its nature a name of mystery, and nobody ever supposed that man could imagine how a world was created any more than he could create one. But evolution really is mistaken for explanation. It has the fatal quality of leaving on many minds the impression that they do understand it and everything else; just as many of them live under a sort of illusion that they have read the Origin of Species.”
― G.K. Chesterton, quote from The Everlasting Man

“Ядохме кебапчета в деня, в който се запознахме. Купихме си от една лавка и ги изпапахме прави, дърво и камък се пукаше от студ. Жената, дето ги печеше, носеше плетена вълнена жилетка и готварско боне. Придружаваше ни в глада, наблюдавайки всяка наша хапка, щастлива, че оценяваме нейните кебапчета. Те бяха гордост. Гордостта на дребния й живот на крайпътна готвачка. Виждам я, като че ли е пред мен... пролетарско лице, отрудено и все пак безкрайно мило. От онези добронамерени човеци, на които попадаш случайно и ти идва да ги прегърнеш, защото ти се усмихват от дълбините на своя човешки опит и отведнъж те измъкват от другата половина на света, онази унилата, на хората, затънали в своята локва тъмнина. Колко такива щастливци срещах тогава в Сараево! Имаха зачервени от студа бузи, да, но и от свенливост, понеже се осмеляваха да мечтаят.”
― Margaret Mazzantini, quote from Twice Born
“Looking back at a repetition of empty days, one sees that monuments have sprung up. Habit is not mere subjugation, it is a tender tie: when one remembers habit it seems to have been happiness.”

How To Talk To A Wid...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.
