“We all have guilt. It just can't be all that we have.”
― Suzanne Young, quote from The Remedy
“Whether it's his training or his natural disposition, Deacon is charming. The kind of charming that makes you feel like you're the only person in the world who matters. Until you don't anymore.”
― Suzanne Young, quote from The Remedy
“The door partly opens, and Deacon rests his hip on the frame and looks me up and down as if he has no idea who I am. He's wearing gray sweatpants with CORVALLIS UNION HIGH SCHOOL printed up the leg, his hair all askew. He's shirtless, whether for effect or for comfort I'm not sure.”
― Suzanne Young, quote from The Remedy
“Deacon was good, too-almost as good as me. His charisma draws people in, even if it's only a facade.”
― Suzanne Young, quote from The Remedy
“Truth is, I don't know what Deacon wants anymore - it's not just physical. Whatever it is must scare him, though, and I'm the one who ends up getting hurt. So I make the concerted effort to resist his temptation, even if sometimes I'd like nothing more than to surround myself with his affection.”

“Tattoos. Anyone who doesn’t like my art can kick rocks.”
― T.M. Frazier, quote from King
“Oh, Myr," he chokes out. "I hate having to ask this of you..."
He glances towards the car again, and I crouch down in the shadows, hoping it's too dark for him to see whether the window is open or closed. The woman pats his arm, cradling her hand against his elbow.
"You know I'd do anything for you and Hil," she says. I like her voice. It's throaty and rich.
"You'd do anything?" my father repeats numbly. "Even now? After -?"
"Even now," the woman says firmly.”
― Margaret Peterson Haddix, quote from Double Identity
“نحن قراصنة الاقتصاد على درجة عالية من الاحتراف – اذ اننا وعينا كل دروس التاريخ من الغزاة والمستعمرين: نزور مواقع المشروعات ونتسكع داخل القرى الفقيرة، نتظاهر بانكار الذات، ونتحدث فى الصحف والاعلام عن الاعمال الانسانية العظيمة التى نؤديها، نغطى طاولات المؤتمرات بأوراقنا البحثية ومشاريعنا الاقتصادية، ونحاضر فى كبرى جامعات العالم عن عجائب المشروعات التنموية الاقتصادية الكبرى، وفى البلاد النامية نرتدى ملابس كالتى يرتديها السكان المحليين، وفى الغنية نرتدى كالموظفين العاديين لنبدو متواضعين، اذا لقد حققنا مكانة مرموقة أو هكذا رسمنا صورة لأنفسنا، بهذه الطريقة ينجح النظام، ونادرا ما نلجأ للخروج عن القانون، فالنظام نفسه مبنى على خدعة، والنظام بشكل محدد يوصف بأنه قانونى.”

DreadnoughtBookQuoters 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.
