“There are a lot of things in this world to be afraid of, but a dead body isn't one of them.”
― Amanda Stevens, quote from The Restorer
“There was something so primal and hungry about the way he stared down at her..the way their bodies unconsciously strained toward one another as if nothing - not even time, not distance, not even death- could ever keep them apart.”
― Amanda Stevens, quote from The Restorer
“It's hotter than a two-peckered alley cat up in here. Humidity must be close to a hundred.”
― Amanda Stevens, quote from The Restorer
“Let me enjoy my fan-wanking.
Your what?
Let me arrange the story to meet my own personal needs.”
― Amanda Stevens, quote from The Restorer
“For those of us who can, there are certain precautions we must take in order to protect ourselves and those around us. The first and most important is this-never acknowledge the dead. Don't look at them, don't speak to them don't let them sense your fear. Even when they touch you"..."The second thing you must remember is this," Papa said. "Never stray too far from hallowed ground."..."Rule Number Three," he said. "Keep your distance from those who are haunted. If they seek you out, turn away from them, for they constitute a terrible threat and cannot be trusted." ..."Rule Number Four," he said sternly. "Never, ever tempt fate.”

“Антонио Хосе Боливар неторопливо вынул изо рта вставную челюсть, завернул ее в носовой платок и, не переставая проклинать гринго, ставшего виновником трагедии, алькальда, золотоискателей – всех тех, кто своим присутствием оскверняет девственную чистоту так любимой им амазонской сельвы, – ударом мачете срубил толстую ветку и, опираясь на нее, зашагал по направлению к Эль-Идилио, к своей хижине, к своим книгам, в которых говорится о любви – говорится словами столь прекрасными, что они порой заставляют забыть о варварской натуре человека.”

Wolf WillowBookQuoters 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.
