“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.”

“Punishment of a less immediately physical kind, a certain discretion in the art of inflicting pain, a combination of more subtle, more subdued sufferings, deprived of their visible display, should not all this be treated as a special case, an incidental effect of deeper changes? And yet the fact remains that a few decades saw the disappearance of the tortured, dismembered, amputated body, symbolically branded on face or shoulder, exposed alive or dead to public view. The body as the major target of penal repression disappeared. By”

“The world is like a broken wrist that healed the wrong way, and will never be the same again.”
― Frances Hardinge, quote from Fly by Night
“I do not mind,Julian," she told him. "I rather like the way you spend your time with me." She pressed closer to him,her naked breasts against his bare chest.
His answering kiss was slow and tender, a gentle exploration. "In this one thing I will have to insist. Your health must come before all things, even our pleasure. On the next rising we will have more time together. This dawn you must rest."
She tried to keep the amusement out of her mind. He was so positive he was giving her an order. "Of course, Julian," she murmured softly, her long lashes feathering down to cover her dark eyes. Her body moved restlessly against his, her full breasts pushing into the heavy muscles of his chest. "If you say we cannot, then I must agree with you,but I am sorry to hear that it is so." Her hands were moving over his buttocks, her fingers tracing their defined muscles. Her fingers moved to his hips, caressed his thighs,worked their way to cup the weight of his rising desire in her palm. "I will do as you say, lifemate, if that is what truly pleases you." Her mouth drifted down over his throat and chest, following the pattern of golden hair to the taut muscles of his belly.
Beneath her caressing fingers, his body thickened and hardened in response, his gut clenched hotly, and the breath seemed to slam out of him. "You are deliberately testing my resolve,piccola, and I am failing the test miserably."
"That is exactly what I wanted to hear," she answered complacantly, her mind already occupied with much more interesting matters.”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Dark Challenge
“إن العناق شئ صحي يساعد على تقوية جهاز المناعة، ويقلل من الإحباط و يخفف من الضغط، ويحث على النوم و الإسترخاء.
أنه مقو و منشط، كما أنه يجدد الشباب وليس له أي آثار جانبيه. إن العناق ليس إلا عقارا سحريا.
العناق شيء طبيعي جدا، أنه أساسا ذو حلاوة و عذوبة طبيعية ولا يحتوي على أية مكونات صناعية، ولا أية ملوثات، وهو صديق البيئة لأنه صحي تماما.
العناق هو الهدية المثالية. و هو شيء رائع لتقديمه في أية مناسبة، وهو ممتع في منحه و تلقيه، ويوضح للآخرين مدى اهتمامك بهم، ويعود عليك بمنافع جمة حيث أنه قابل للتبادل.
أن العناق ممتاز بشكل عملي، حيث لا يحتاج إلى مجهودكم، وهو خير ما يقاوم الغرور، وكذلك لا يساعد على زيادة الوزن، ولا يكلف أي نقود شهرية، وهو كذلك ضد السرقة و معفي من الضرائب.
العناق مصدر نافع جدا ذو قوة سحرية. فعندما نفتح قلوبنا وأذرعنا لنعانق الآخرين، فإننا بذلك نشجعهم على أن يفعلوا نفس الشيء.”
― Jack Canfield, quote from Chicken Soup for the Soul
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.
