“Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared, then you’re not doing it right.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“Every life needs a little space. It leaves room for good things to enter it.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“People always say life is too short for regrets. But the truth is, it's too long.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“We're connected, as women. It's like a spiderweb. If one part of that web vibrates, if there's trouble, we all know it, but most of the time we're just too scared, or selfish, or insecure to help. But if we don't help each other, who will?”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“Why were girls in such a hurry to grow up? Agatha would never understand. Childhood was magical. Leaving it behind was a magnificent loss.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“Coffee, she'd discovered, was tied to all sorts of memories, different for each person. Sunday mornings, friendly get-togethers, a favorite grandfather long since gone, the AA meeting that saved their life. Coffee meant something to people. Most found their lives were miserable without it. Coffee was a lot like love that way. And because Rachel believed in love, she believed in coffee, too.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“Her grandmother used to tell her that a pink sky meant someone in the distance had just fallen in love . . . .”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“People adapt. People change. You can grow where you're planted.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“There was a strange but universal understanding among women. On some level all women knew, they all understood, the fear of being outnumbered, of being helpless. It throbbed in their chests when they thought about the times they left stores and were followed. The knocks on their car windows as they were sitting alone at red lights, and strangers asking for rides. Having too much to drink and losing their ability to be forceful enough to just say no. Smiling at strange men coming on to them, not wanting to hurt their feelings, not wanting to make a scene. All women remembered these things, even if they had never happened to them personally. It was a part of their collective unconscious.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“People fall in love all the time. And it's not always with the right people. And it's not always reciprocated.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“If anyone had been paying attention to the signs, they would have realized that air turns white when things are about to change, that paper cuts mean there's more to what's written on the page than meets the eye, and that birds are always out to protect you from things you don't see.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“When you're a teenager, your friends are your life. When you grow up, friendships seem to get pushed further and further back, until it seems like a luxury, a frivolity, like a bubble bath.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“That's the fairy tale. You meet, you fall in love, you kiss, and neither of you is revolted by it. You get married and have kids and live happily ever after.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“She never thought she was good at making friends. But maybe she was just trying to be friends with the wrong people.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“Whenever I would get too nosy as a child, my grandmother would say, "When you learn someone else's secret, your own secrets aren't safe. Dig up one, release them all.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“That, they knew, was true friendship. And they knew, if you're lucky enough to find it, you hold on to it.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“Watching them, she realized they made so much sense together. Every look, every touch, was a reassurance, almost electric, as if they were shocking each other with every contact.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper

― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“How could someone with a life this full feel this empty?”

― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper

― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“He didn't think he belonged here, so she was making him face some uncomfortable facts. People adapt. People change. You can grow where you're planted.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, quote from The Peach Keeper
“Her life was monotonous, but it kept her out of trouble. . . . This, her father would say, was called being an adult.”

Island Beneath the S...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.
