“Captain Quinn have the details, as usual?” She cocked a furry eyebrow at him. “Captain Quinn . . . will not be coming on this mission.” He swore her gold eyes widened, the pupils dilating. Her lips drew back baring her fangs further in what took him a terrifying moment to realize was a smile. In a weird way, it reminded him of the grin with which Thorne had greeted that same news. She glanced up; the bay had emptied of other personnel. “Aah?” Her voice rumbled, like a purr. “Well, I’ll be your bodyguard any time, lover. Just give me the sign.” What sign, what the hell— She”

“He bent down burying his face in my neck. I reached back to grab onto the iron bars behind me to hold myself up. My jacket slipped off my shoulders. I was pretty sure I was on fire and at that moment I would have sworn that bursting into flame was a glorious way to go.”
― Myra McEntire, quote from Hourglass
“Osebnost se zanima zase. Rada ima vznemirjenje. Ni nujno, da je odgovorna, skrbna ali ljubeča. Duša je energija univerzalne ljubezni, modrosti in sočutja. Ustvarja s temi energijami. Osebnost razume moč kot nekaj zunanjega in jo zaznava kot tekmovanja, grožnje, dobitke in izgube ter jih primerja z drugimi. Ko se uglasite z svojo osebnostjo, daste moč kraljestvu petih čutov, zunanjim okoliščinam in predmetom. Sami si odvzemate notranjo moč. Ko se začnete zavedati svojega duhovnega jaza in izvora, svoje nesmrtnosti, ko izberete in živite v skladu s prvim in šele nato s fizičnim, zapolnite vrzel, ki obstaja med osebnostjo in dušo. Doživljati začnete duhovno moč.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul
“I’m not sorry for intervening,” she said. “In fact, I’d do it again. But it seems like in choosing to do so, I surrendered my pacifist principles. Am I a hypocrite?” He laid a hand on her knee. “No, Eden. Not a hypocrite. You are a brave, beautiful woman, a guardian of pea . . . of life. You fought only when you had no other option. Truly honorable.”
― Karen Witemeyer, quote from To Win Her Heart
“There is a man named Ovi Niit. He runs a comfort house in the soft quarter. I mean to take it from him.”

AlphaBookQuoters 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.
