― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary

― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary

― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary

― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary

“Thirty-nine-year-old moderately successful Human Resources Director. Interests include regency romances, reality TV, and baking large novelty birthday cakes for other people’s children. Hobbies include drinking Tia Maria and eating Turkish delight in the bath and dining out with her mum and dad. Wanted to be a ballerina but didn’t end up with a ballerina body; however, has been told she is an impressive dirty dancer when drunk. Knows her wine, so please just hand the wine list over. Godmother to nine children, member of two book clubs, Social Club Manager for the Australian Payroll Officers’ Association. Suffers from a severe blushing problem but is not shy and will probably end up better friends with your friends than you, which you’ll find highly irritating after we break up. Has recently become so worried about meeting the love of her life and having children before she reaches menopause that she has cried piteously in the middle of the night. But otherwise is generally quite cheerful and has on at least three separate occasions that she knows of been described as ‘Charming’. Yep, that about summed it up. What a catch.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“You can still bake a perfectly good cake while losing your mind.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary

― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“Veronika had accused her father of being a misogynist and Thomas had told Veronika to stop acting like a pseudo lesbian intellectual.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“Looking after the baby is like taking some sort of terrifying, never-ending practical exam. All she does is respond to what the baby is doing. Feed baby. Change baby. Wash baby. Keep baby alive. Prepare for when baby wakes again.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“You mustn’t take any notice of her,’ says Enigma. ‘I often sing a little song in my head until she’s finished talking.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“Nothing is rigid. Things change. You can change your mind. You can change your thinking.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary

― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“A woman wants to be adored but she doesn’t want reverence.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“She was the missing ingredient they needed. The hint of nutmeg. Connie”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary
“I remember Connie and me standing there at the hospital, looking at each other, not touching, not crying, just completely and utterly shocked. Our mother was too busy to die.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from The Last Anniversary

― Jeff Kinney, quote from The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary
“To hear them laugh was to hear that everything was all right, but to see them laugh was to see otherwise”
― David Finkel, quote from The Good Soldiers
“For human nature is such that grief and pain - even simultaneously suffered - do not add up as a whole in our consciousness, but hide, the lesser behind the greater, according to a definite law of perspective. It is providential and is our means of surviving in the camp. And this is the reason why so often in free life one hears it said that man is never content. In fact it is not a question of a human incapacity for a state of absolute happiness, but of an ever-insufficient knowledge of the complex nature of the state of unhappiness; so that the single name of the major cause is given to all its causes, which are composite and set out in an order of urgency. And if the most immediate cause of stress comes to an end, you are grievously amazed to see that another one lies behind; and in reality a whole series of others.
So that as soon as the cold, which throughout the winter had seemed our only enemy, had ceased, we became aware of the hunger; and repeating the same error, we now say: "If it was not for the hunger!...”
― Primo Levi, quote from If This Is a Man / The Truce
“Você é forte. Mas o mundo nem sempre é bom com as pessoas que são diferentes. Só não quero que você torne seu caminho mais difícil do que precisa ser”
― quote from George

Ketchup CloudsBookQuoters 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.
