“I'm so sorry. I love you. I never could have hurt you.”
― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl


“Anna is something wrong " he asked his brow furrowed.

Yes I want to say. You ran a prison camp for Jews. You keep my parents locked in the ghetto. You let your wife's father be killed and would kill Jacob too if given the chance. Your wretched Gestapo came to our house and now Lukasz might have to leave us. Let me count the ways. Of course I did not dare to say any of this. "No Herr Kommandant " I replied managing to keep my voice even. "Everything is fine.”
― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl


“he says at last, bidding me good evening as though it were”
― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl

Popular quotes

“Na początku często z Niilą dyskutowaliśmy, czy nasze granie można uznać za knapsu. Słowo jest tornedalsko-fińskie i oznacza "babski", zatem coś, czym zajmują się tylko kobiety. Można by powiedzieć, że rola mężczyzn w Tornedalen ogranicza się tylko do jednego: nie być knapsu.”
― Mikael Niemi, quote from Popular Music from Vittula


“When ordinary human beings perform extraordinary acts of generosity, endurance or compassion, we are all made richer by their example. Like the rivers that flow out of the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush, the inspiration they generate washes down to the rest of us. It waters everyone's fields.”
― Greg Mortenson, quote from Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan


“I need a bathroom. And there are way too many people around here for us to”
― Anita Diamant, quote from Good Harbor


“I know your hormones are raging right now, but that does not justify bumping off the creepy new kids in school!”
― Abra Ebner, quote from Book of Love


“... he was sunset against the mountains, strong, vibrant, dangerous, and yet somehow sheltering, protective. And married.

Picnic, meet rain.”
― Devon Monk, quote from Magic in the Shadows

About BookQuoters

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.
