“What's unnatural is homophobia. Homo sapiens is the only species in all of nature that responds with hate to homosexuality.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“You're going to spend more time with yourself than with anyone else in your life. You want to spend that whole time fighting who you are?”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“How is love between two people a sin? Love isn't about gender; it's about two souls uniting.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“Pablito, the Bible was meant to be a bridge, not a wedge. It's the greatest love story ever told, about God's enduring and unconditional love for his creation--love beyond all reason. To understand it, you have to read it with love as the standard. Love God. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Always remember that.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“Anyone who expects a person to change something as private and personal as who they hold in their arms at night needs to change their own judgmental attitude.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“Maybe [Sodom and Gomorrah] isn't really about homosexuality, but about rape. If the angels had been female, and the men of Sodom said they wanted to 'know' them against their will, would people claim that the story shows heterosexuality is a sin?”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“Even if sexual orientation were a choice, aren't we a country where we're supposed to be free to pursue our happiness, whether we're hetero-, homo-, bi-, trans-, or even a-sexual? To use [an analogy that homosexuality is a vice, like drinking], being antigay is like Prohibition, when a small group of busybodies thought no one should be allowed to drink.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“I believe [the Bible] is meant to soften our hearts, not harden them.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“Gay isn't wrong or right. It just is. What's wrong is hating yourself because of it. You're going to spend more time with yourself than with anyone else in your life. You want to spend that whole time fighting who you are?”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“How is love between two people a sin? Love isn't about gender; it's about two souls uniting. But okay, let's just suppose it is a sin. Then isn't that between God and the people involved? Who are you to judge? [...] Time and again, Jesus' message was, 'How can you say, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when there is a log in your own?”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“My Grandma once told me 'the Church should stay out of people's pants'.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“No, Manuel said firmly. "Gay isn't wrong or right. It just is.”
― Alex Sanchez, quote from The God Box
“If you think the sea is blue and I think it’s green, why try to convince you?”

“...y las manos de Rema que daban deseos de llorar y sentirlas eternamente contra su cabeza, en una caricia casi de muerte y de vainillas con crema, las dos mejores cosas de la vida. ”
― Julio Cortázar, quote from Bestiario
“Mine,” he whispered against my mouth. He kissed me again. “You are mine.”
In the shadows I stared into the eyes of a vampire, grazed his mouth with my finger. “No, you‟re mine.”
― Elle Jasper, quote from Afterlight

“As I walked away, I heard Kale tell Fin to stop staring at my ass or he was going to punish him. I couldn’t help but smile.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“Why were you running?” Gordon looked confused. “I wasn’t going to hurt you.”
Bite me,” I told him. He was so going to get charged with assault. I might even have to put a restraining order on his sorry ass. “Oh, wait a minute, you already did bite me, didn’t you… you psycho!”
He rolled his eyes. “You’re really going to have to get over that if this relationship is going to have half a chance.”
― Michelle Rowen, quote from Bitten & Smitten

How My Summer Went U...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.
