“His rage passes description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“To think I should have lived to be goodmorninged by Belladonna Took's son, as if I was selling buttons at the door!”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“Adventures only make you late for dinner.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“I don't think I know your name.'
'Yes, yes my dear sir and I do know your name Mr. Bilbo Baggins. And you do know my name, though you don't remember that I belong to it. I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“In those days of our tale, there were still some people who had both elves and heroes of the North for ancestors and Elrond, the master of the house, was their chief. He was as noble and as fair in face as an elf lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves and as kind as summer.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
"All of them at once," said Bilbo. "And a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors, into the bargain.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“Hush, hush! Good People! and good night!" said Gandalf, who came last. "Valleys have ears, and some elves have over marry tongues. Good night!”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“If the elf-king had a weakness it was for treasure, especially for silver and white gems; and though his hoard was rich, he was ever eager for more, since he had not yet as great a treasure as other elf-lords of old.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“Back now to the mountain!" cried Thorin. "We have little time to lose." "And little food to use!" cried Bilbo, always practical on such points. In any case he felt that the adventure was, properly speaking, over with the death of the dragon.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“ولی خب ، عجیب است تعریف چیزهای خوبی که آدم داشته و روزهای خوشی که گذرانده خیلی طول نمیکشد و زیاد هم شنیدنی نیست اما از چیزهای ناراحت کننده و دلهره آور و حتی فجیع ، قصه خوبی در می آید.”
― Chuck Dixon, quote from The Hobbit: Graphic Novel
“Yes, yes and i want to get unlost... As soon as possible!”

“She touched the healthy folds of skin around the baby's neck, wrists, and thighs, the dark lines crying for life made in his forehead, and thought how people start with wrinkles and end with wrinkles, grow into their skin and then live to grow out of it again.”
― Shannon Hale, quote from Enna Burning
“The king lifted a hand to her cheek and kissed her. It was not a kiss between strangers, not even a kiss between a bride and groom. It was a kiss between a man and his wife, and when it was over, the king closed his eyes and rested his forehead in the hollow of the queen's shoulder, like a man seeking respite, like a man reaching home at the end of the day.”
― Megan Whalen Turner, quote from The King of Attolia
“You want to know my sweet?" I ask her.
She nods.
I kiss her on the forehead. "You. Always you.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from This Girl
“And in the winter, which was confined by statute to two months, the snow lay evenly, three feet thick, but never turned into slush.”

“That it is at least as difficult to stay a moral infection as a physical one; that such a disease will spread with the malignity and rapidity of the Plague; that the contagion, when it has once made head, will spare no pursuit or condition, but will lay hold on people in the soundest health, and become developed in the most unlikely constitutions; is a fact as firmly established by experience”

Graduation DayBookQuoters 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.
