“Looking for who I am is who I am.”
― Tom Spanbauer, quote from The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon
“A person without her or his own truth ain't a person at all, Ida said. Anybody who tells you different—is a jackass, and no longer deserves to be called human being.”
― Tom Spanbauer, quote from The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon
“I tell you I'm tired of hearing it. There ain't nothing that happens to a person that ain't that person. The world out there only does what you tell it to do. The world is happening to you the way it is happening because you're telling yourself the story that way. If you want to change the world so damn bad, Ida, then where you got to start is how it is you're looking at it.”
― Tom Spanbauer, quote from The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon
“With tybo men there isn't much difference between fucking and killing.”
― Tom Spanbauer, quote from The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon
“Felt good, though, just being what I was.”

“ - Parcă mai ieri alergai pe gazon cu prietenii tăi, încercând din greu să câştigi premii la aruncarea inelelor sau să spargi pinata. La fel ca mama ta, aduceai culoare şi viaţă.
- Papa!
- Cel care va primi acea culoare şi viaţă va fi un om norocos, spuse Philip, privindu-l în ochi pe Jack. Iar cel care le va aprecia va fi un înţelept.
- Papa, repetă ea, pe un ton de avertisment.
- Un om nu are parte de prea multe comori, spuse el bătând-o cu degetul pe nas.”

“He was terrible at falling—Roar was right about that—but nothing ever kept him down.”
― Veronica Rossi, quote from Into the Still Blue
“You can’t imagine the white-hot fury someone who can’t sleep has toward the beautiful dreamer beside him.”
― Karen Joy Fowler, quote from We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
“College was a bubble that kept the rest of the world at bay. There was an abundance of free time, friends who lived either with you or right next door, and an overwhelming sense of optimism about the future, even if you had no idea as to the specifics of what that might mean. In college, everyone accepted the fact that their lives would turn out exactly as planned, buoying them from one good memory to the next in a cascade of carefree three-day weekends.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from See Me
“You should always play with and not according to the rules, because a life with no danger in it is no life at all.”

Everything We KeepBookQuoters 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.
