“How are babies made?" Visibly startled, Jordan turned and opened his mouth, as if he intended to speak, but for some reason no words came out. At first Alexandra was puzzled by his involuntary silence, but then understanding dawned. She shook her head and sighed with sympathy for their mutual plight. " You don't know either, do you?”
― Judith McNaught, quote from Something Wonderful
“Folks do not want to see a body disappear before their very eyes. Not me at least.”
― Kaye Gibbons, quote from Ellen Foster
“Политическите философи често са обръщали внимание, че по време на война гражданинът, поне от мъжки пол, губи едно от най-основните си права, това на живот, и то още от времето на Френската революция и въвеждането на военната повинност, сега почти всеобщо прието правило. Но рядко отбелязват, че същият този гражданин губи едновременно и друго едно право, също толкова основно, а за него може би и още по-важно, що се отнася до представата, която изгражда за себе си като цивилизован човек: правото да не убива. Никой не пита за вашето мнение. Застаналият над общия гроб мъж в повечето случаи не е искал да бъде там, точно както и този, който лежи, мъртъв или умиращ, на дъното на същия гроб.”
― Jonathan Littell, quote from The Kindly Ones
“There was dishonor, she decided, in accepting someone else’s idea of honor without question.”

― John Green, quote from Turtles All the Way Down
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.
