“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.”

“And Beauvoir knew then the man was a saint. He's been touched by any number of medical men and women. All healers, all well intentioned, some kind, some rough. All made it clear they wanted him to live, but none had made him feel that his life was precious, was worth saving, was worth something.”
― Louise Penny, quote from Bury Your Dead
“— Страхуват се — каза Перец. — Аз също се страхувам. Но аз се страхувам не само от теб, страхувам се и за теб. Още не ги познаваш. Впрочем и аз малко ги познавам. Знам само, че са способни на всякакви крайности — до най-висшите степени на тъпотата и мъдростта, на жестокостта и съжалението, на яростта и въздържанието. В тях няма само едно: разбиране. Винаги са заменяли разбирането с някакъв сурогат — вяра, неверие, равнодушие, пренебрежение. Кой знае защо винаги излиза, че така е по-просто. По-просто е да повярваш, отколкото да разбереш. По-просто е да се разочароваш, отколкото да разбереш. Между другото аз утре заминавам, но това още нищо не значи. Тук не мога да ти помогна, тук всичко е много непробиваемо и застояло. Тук вече очевидно съм излишен, чужд. Но аз ще намеря приложение на силите си, не се страхувай. Да, те могат непоправимо да те осквернят, но затова също трябва време — да намерят най-ефективният, най-икономичният и преди всичко най-простият метод. Ние пък ще се преборим, ако има за какво да се борим… Довиждане.”

“This was different: the feeling of being chosen. Out of everybody in the world...this boy had picked him as the one he liked best of all.”

“People think they're interesting. That's their first mistake.”
― Elizabeth McCracken, quote from The Giant's House
“The Taoist and Zen conception of perfection... the dynamic nature of their philosophy laid more stress upon the process through which perfection was sought than upon perfection itself. True beauty could be discovered only by one who mentally completed the incomplete. The virility of life and art lay in its possibilities for growth.”

Less Than ZeroBookQuoters 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.
