“Say it, do it, preach it, shout it, but never, absolutely never, believe your own bullshit.”

― Steve Berry, quote from The Templar Legacy
“He'd was called first Cephas in Aramaic, then Petros, rock, in Greek. Eventually he became Peter and the Gospels proclaimed that Christ said, Upon this rock I shall build my church.'
The testimony was the first ancient account he'd ever read that made sense. No supernatural events or miraculous apparitions. No actions contrary to history or logic. No inconsistent details that cast doubt on credibility. Just the testimony by a simple fisherman of how he'd borne witness to a great man, one whose good works and kind words lived on after his death, enough to inspire him to continue the cause.”
― Steve Berry, quote from The Templar Legacy
“His world was distinctly male. His experience with women minimal. They were a different breed, of that he was sure,”

“1. "...All the complicated things in life can be settled over a cup of coffee. A person will tell more of their private life after one good cup of coffee, than after a magnum of Champagne or a quarter of port.." ((page 79)).

“ОМОНИМИЧЕН КАЛАМБУР
Време (къде ли се време?) за обед. От качилите (наистина бяха откачили те!) се пътници автобусът беше препълнен. Видях сред тези хора (видях с ред тези хора или видях сред тез и хора, или видях с ред тез и хора???) нещо интересно – много забавен младеж (много за бавен млад еж?): шия като жираф, на главата (аз ли шия като жираф нагла вата?) – шапка и плитка (колко плитка?) на шапката. Почва (на каква почва?) този да се кара на един католик отзад (като лик отзад?), че го ръга като дъска за гладене (а нима това дъска за гладен е?). Но като забеляза (за беля за какво?) свободно място, отиде да търси подслон (но какво да търси под слон?).
Не помня по календар (по-кален дар!) коя дата беше, но след това (беше ли с лед това?) пак видях споменатото (кой спомена тато?) момче на гара (и кой видя нагара?) Сен Лазар. Негов другар (не го в друг ар слагайте!) гореше (защо ли го реше?) от желание да му даде съвет относно (как да го разбираме това “от нос, но…”?) едно копче.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style
“Knowledge was more powerful than fear. Love was stronger than hate.”
― Lauren Myracle, quote from Shine
“All children grow up, all but one. His name is Peter and by now, all the civilized world has heard of him. He has captured the public imagination and become a legend, a subject for poets, philosophers and psychologists to write about, and for children to dream of. The children’s tales might be lacking in some details, but on the whole they are more accurate than most other accounts, for children will always understand Peter intuitively, as I did when I first met him.
"I shall endeavor to tell you the true story of my friend Peter, because he cannot tell it to you himself. Afterward I hope you will love him and defend him as I have for the remainder of your days. Pass on to others a true account of the wild boy who would not grow up, who danced with kings and won the hearts of princesses. He defied logic and reason, lived and loved with an innocent heart, and found peace in the midst of a turbulent world.”
― Christopher Daniel Mechling, quote from Peter: The Untold True Story
“The flowers were opulent, full-blown, topple shower petals at a touch. He thought that she might topple that way, falling all at once into his hand, a soft drift of blossom between his fingers. The roses bowed their extravagant heads, nodding, but she was all stiff prim and black, back in her bonnet, so that he could not see her face unless she looked directly at him.”
― Laura Kinsale, quote from Flowers from the Storm
“But thoughts of his brother quickly slid away, to be replaced with the memory of heather-colored eyes and a soft voice asking if he needed herbs.”
― Erin Hunter, quote from The Sight
BookQuoters 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.
