“I’m not sure bravery is something you acquire more of with age, like wisdom—but maybe here, in Dauntless, bravery is the highest form of wisdom, the acknowledgment that life can and should be lived without fear.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The Son

You’ve been properly pilled,
Then a few paper forms
Must be properly filled
So that you and your heirs
May be properly billed.”
― Dr. Seuss, quote from Horton Hears a Who!
“Laurel rolled her eyes. “Now there‟s something I really wanted to know ” she said sarcastically.
“Ah come on—everyone wonders.”
“Do not ”
“Sure. I‟ve always wondered what kind of a kisser David is.”
“Um that‟s one of those questions you‟re not supposed to ask.”
Chelsea laughed. “I didn‟t ask. I just said I‟ve always wondered.”
“That‟s asking.”
“Is not.” She leaned back against her headboard. “‟Course you could tell me anyway.”
“Chelsea ”
“What I told you.”
“I didn‟t ask.”
“Technicality.”
“I‟m not telling.”
“That‟s code for he sucks.”
“He does not suck.”
“Aha ”
Laurel sighed. “You are so weird.”
“Yeah ” Chelsea said with a grin tossing her springy curls. “But you love me.”
Laurel laughed. “Yes I do.” She leaned over and tipped her head onto Chelsea‟s shoulder. “And I‟m glad you‟re happy.”

“I feel like I'm losing my damn mind, like your face has been carved into my heart, and I don't remember when, and I don't understand why, but the scar is there, and I can't get it to heal. It won't go. I can't make it fade. And you won't even look at me.”
― Alexandra Bracken, quote from Never Fade

“Even though he was inside the house, I could still hear Vlad’s sardonic mutter of “Where’s a tissue when I need one?”
I turned my face away from Bones after a long moment, ending our kiss, and called out,
“If you’re not too busy watching Hitman, I hear Dracula 2000 is a good movie.”
“Vicious,” came Vlad’s reply, amusement clear in his tone.”

Fighting SilenceBookQuoters 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.
