“You see, I am not pretty, not in the least, never was, and so I have to be odd. Nothing for it! It answers delightfully.”
― Georgette Heyer, quote from Regency Buck
“I was going to ask you,’ Nita said, ‘whether all that was what I thought it was.’
‘If you thought that dogs now finally have their own version of the One,’ said the Transcendent Pig, ‘then the answer is yes.’
Kit was shaking his head. ‘I can’t believe it,’ he whispered. ‘Are you trying to tell me that my dog—my dog was—’
‘Is. Yes, it’s the “spell-it-backward” joke again,’ the Pig said, with some resignation. ‘The One just loves those old jokes. The older, the better.’ It raised its bristly eyebrows. ‘Making a big BANG! and running off to hide behind the nearest chunk of physical existence, like some kid ringing the doorbell at Halloween. And the puns. Don’t get It started on the puns...you’ll be there forever.’ It smiled. ‘Literally. But what did you expect? Your dog started making universes out of nothing. That wasn’t a slight tip-off?’
‘And not just making them,’ Nita said. ‘Saving them.’
‘Or saving one person,’ Kit said.
‘It’s the same thing, I’m told,’ said the Pig, and it vanished.”

“وظيفه القارئ 1
حين كانت لوثيا بيلادث صغيره جدا قرأت روايه و هي تحت الاغطيه ..قراتها جزءا بعد اخر..ليله بعد ليله وكانت تخبئها تحت مخدتها..لقد سرقتها عن رف خشب الارز حيث كان عنها يحفظ كتبه المفضله
مع مرور الاعوام سافرت لوثيا بعيدا
سارت علي الاحجار في نهر انتيوكا بحثا عن الاشباح..وبحثا عن البشر..مشت في شوارع مدن عنيفه
قطعت لوثيا طريقا طويلا و في مسار اسفارها كانت ترافقها دائما اصداء..اصداء تلك الاصوات البعيده التي سمعتها بعينها حين كانت صغيره
لم تقرأ لوثيا الكتاب مره آخري..لم يعد بوسعها ان تتذكره..لقد نما في داخلها بحيث تحول الي شئ اخر..
إنه هي الآن”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from The Book of Embraces
“I was becoming convinced that I was going to be lonely for the rest of my life. It wasn't that I wasn't meeting men. I was. It was just that they all drove me crazy.”

“So I guess you were hopelessly romantic and easily distracted, a B-plus mother, certainly good enough to get into Matriarchal State University but not quite good enough for St. Mary's College of the Blessed Womb Warriors.”

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.
