“Stay with me, God. The night is dark, The night is cold: My little spark Of courage dies. The night is long; Be with me, God, and make me strong.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from The Husband
“That Love is all there is, Is all we know of Love…. —Emily Dickinson”
― Dean Koontz, quote from The Husband
“She can put her life in Mitch's strong hands and fall at once into a dreamless sleep. In a sense, that is what marriage is about-a good marriage-a total trusting with your heart, your mind, your life.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from The Husband
“…eerie in a way it is nowhere else in the world, the flats receding and the low hills rising as if they are just fields of mist and walls of fog, illusions of shapes and dimensions, reflections of reflections, and those reflections only reflections of a dream.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from The Husband
“The secret is not to think, we think in words. And what lies beyond the reality we see is a truth that words can't contain, the secret is to feel.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from The Husband
“Love scrubs the worst stains clean. Anyway, there can be no retreat in the face of evil, only resistance. And commitment.”

“Zayvion swore, and I mean he pulled out a raft of curses that made me rethink his upbringing.”
― Devon Monk, quote from Magic in the Shadows
“He had fallen into the error of all liberals: the belief that men are prepared to reform themselves, that good will attracts good will, that truth has leavening virtue of its own.”
― Morris West, quote from The Devil's Advocate
“Όταν σκέφτομαι τη βροχή, λύνω την απορία μου, γιατί δε θα υπήρχε μελωδία χωρίς τις στάλες αν τα σύννεφα δεν κρατούσαν κάθε χρόνο την υπόσχεσή τους να ξεσπάσουν, και θυμάμαι την Έλι που έλεγε ότι οι πλημμύρες δείχνουν πως το φεγγάρι και η θάλασσα κρατούν τις υποσχέσεις τους κι αυτό είν' όλο. Μια υπόσχεση είναι κάτι που δε μετριέται, σημαίνει εμπιστοσύνη, και δε γίνεται να μιλάω για τη βροχή, τη θάλασσα και το φεγγάρι, αλλά γίνεται να ρωτήσω γιατί οι άνθρωποι τηρούν τις υποσχέσεις τους και ίσως τελικά η απάντηση σ' αυτό να είναι η αγάπη.”

Web of LiesBookQuoters 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.
