“Like any collection of family photographs, it was a random selection that told only fragments of a story. The real tale would be revealed by the pictures that were missing or never even taken at all, not the ones that had been so carefully framed or packed away neatly in an envelope.”
― Victoria Hislop, quote from The Island
“After the endless disappointing cups of Nescafé, served as though the tasteless dissolving granules of instant coffee were a delicacy, Alexis felt no cup of coffee had ever tasted as powerful and delicious as this.
It seemed that nobody had the heart to tell the Greeks that Nescafé was no longer a novelty – it was this old-fashioned thick and treacly fluid that everyone, including her, craved.”

“You're valuable to God...It doesn't matter what you look like or even what talents you have. He cherishes you. You're beautiful in his sight.”
― Janice Thompson, quote from Fools Rush In
“«В лунном свете холмы вокруг города были ясно видны и почти узнаваемы. Я пытался сориентироваться, наблюдая за Луной и звездами так, словно я находился в реальной повседневной жизни. Месяц был на ущербе, вероятно, был первый день после полнолуния. Он находился высоко над горизонтом. Должно быть, было между восемью и девятью часами вечера. Я видел Орион справа от Луны; две главные звезды — Бетельгейзе и Ригель — находились на одном уровне с Луной. Я определил начало декабря. Мое время было — май. В мае Орион нигде в это время суток не виден. Я смотрел на Луну очень долго. Ничего не изменилось. Это была Луна, насколько я мог судить. Несоответствие во времени очень меня взволновало.»”

Bad KittyBookQuoters 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.
