― Kevin Leman, quote from The Firstborn Advantage: Making Your Birth Order Work for You
“الخطأ الأكثر شيوعا من قبل الأبوين، هو تعويل آمال غير مبررة على أولادهما، والابن البكر هو على الدوام تقريبا من يتلقى صدمة المبالغة في الآمال المعقودة عليه من قبل أمه وأبيه.”
― Kevin Leman, quote from The Firstborn Advantage: Making Your Birth Order Work for You

― Kresley Cole, quote from Demon from the Dark
“I just wondered what a thing it would be...if overnight everything you owe anything to, justice, or love, had really gone away. Free.
It would be...heartless terror. Yes. Terrible, and...
Very great. To shed your skin, every old skin, one by one and then walk away, unemcumbered, into the morning.”
― Tony Kushner, quote from Millennium Approaches
“A happy ending was promised, and a happy ending was delivered.”
― Colleen Houck, quote from Tiger's Destiny
“Where do I sleep?” “Your home,” Zak answered matter-of-factly. “Where do I take meals?” “Your home.” Drizzt’s eyes narrowed to slits and his face flushed in glowing heat. “Where do I …” he began stubbornly, determined to foil the weapons master’s logic. “Your home,” Zak replied in the same measured and weighted timbre before Drizzt could finish the thought.”
― R.A. Salvatore, quote from Homeland
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.
