“Oh, go to hell." But there wasn't any heat in the response.
"You're not supposed to smile when you say that.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Carolina Moon
“A lo largo de los cruces de tu camino te encuentras con otras vidas: conocerlas o no conocerlas, vivirlas a fondo o dejarlas correr es asunto que sólo depende de la elección que efectúas en un instante. Aunque no lo sepas, en pasar de largo o desviarte a menudo está en juego tu existencia, y la de quien está a tu lado.”
― Susanna Tamaro, quote from Follow Your Heart
“It means black kitten," I said with my pulse almost even again.
Ares studied me. "And you're ok with them calling you their black kitten?"
"They're wererats, Ares," I said.
He frowned at me.
"They're not calling me their little black rat. Think it through.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, quote from Bullet
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.
