“Dentro di me portavo ancora il ricordo di quando, da piccola, nel periodo in cui era davvero molto malata, avevo capito per la prima volta il significato della morte. E ogni tanto mi tornava alla mente come un fulmine a ciel sereno. Soprattutto nei giorni di pioggia, quando passato e futuro svaniscono lentamente nell'aria. A un tratto, una lacrima cadde sulla pioggia del libro. E un istante dopo piangevo a dirotto. Sentii il rumore della pioggia che cadeva sulla grondaia ed ebbi un sussulto. Poi, chiedendomi perché diavolo mi fossi messa a piangere, mi asciugai il viso e continuai a leggere, dimenticandomi completamente dell'accaduto.”
― Banana Yoshimoto, quote from Goodbye Tsugumi
“The Ospreys, these children, were my life. Without them, I had nothing. But with them… With them, I would take back my kingdom.”
― Jodi Meadows, quote from The Orphan Queen
“People don't like getting older, but they do like changing”

“It was hard not to think that wherever he wound up, it was not going to be good. He drank. He drugged. He regarded life with devilish disdain. I could never see him turning it around. Which is why I have also learned that the worst predictor of future behavior is high school behavior.”

LeviathanBookQuoters 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.
