“He’s trying not to laugh. I tell him I would have doomed mankind for him, and he tries not to laugh.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Fever Series
“Rowena was wrong. She was so wrong. There are only shades of gray. Black and white are nothing more than lofty ideals in our minds, the standards by which we try to judge things, and map out our place in the world in relevance to them. Good and evil, in their purest form, are as intangible and forever beyond our ability to hold in our hand as any Fae illusion. We can only aim at them, aspire to them, and hope not to get so lost in the shadows that we can no longer aim for the light.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Fever Series
“known,” Dani said miserably. “She hangs here. Likes Chester’s. I been hunting her. Guess she knew it. Ow!” She touched her mouth. Her lips were cracked, oozing. It looked as if her teeth were about to start falling out. Tears stung my eyes. I slammed my palms into the frozen Gray Woman. ”

“Arrogance, like anger, is often a fatal flaw.”

“Fuego para su frío, hielo para su fuego”

“Almost all instruction seems to revolve around language ac-(Jermaine spelling now) "q, a-kwi-si-tion acquisition!" ("What that?" I ask. "You know, to get. Language acquisition, to get some language.")”

“I just want to cuddle with my Lion and give him all the love nobody in the world has given him but me.”
― Katy Evans, quote from Mine
“უკვე ისე ვარ ამოსვრილი, რო ქაქის ჩამოფერთხვას აზრი ეკარგება. ერთი რამ კი მინდა გითხრათ, ქაქში რაც უფრო ღრმად შეტოპავ, მით უფრო ნაკლებად ამჩნევ, რო ქაქში ხარ. მაინც რა სისტემაა ეს? ვერ გამიგია. მე, მაგალითად, ხალხს ქაქში ამოსვრილთა საკითხებზე მომუშავე კომიტეტის პრეზიდენტად რო ავერჩიე, შევეცდებოდი, ამოსვრილებისთვის ჩამორეცხვის ამბავი გამეადვილებინა. თუ ადამიანი ამ ცხოვრებაში სისუფთავისკენ უნდა მიისწრაფოდეს, მაშინ მე ვთვლი, რო ჭუჭყის ჩამორეცხვა ყველასთვის გაადვილებული უნდა იყოს.”
― D.B.C. Pierre, quote from Vernon God Little
“A lot of our perception of history is influenced by inaccurate movies.”
― Nelson DeMille, quote from Plum Island
“The holy relics were granted to Rainald von Dassel, Archbishop of Cologne (1159–67), following Emperor Barbarossa’s sacking of the city of Milan. Such a treasure was granted to the German Archbishop for his aid and chancellorship in service to the current Emperor. Not all were content to see such a treasure leave Italy…not without a struggle. —From L’histoire de la Sainte Empire Romaine (The History of the Holy Roman Empire), 1845, HISTOIRES LITTÉRAIRES”
― James Rollins, quote from Map of Bones
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.
