“ I've been taught that love is beautiful and kind, but it isn't like that at all. It is beautiful, but it's a terrible beauty, a ruthless one, and you fall-you fall, and the thing is-
The thing is you want to. You don't care what's coming you just want who your heart beats for.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“There are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you, people say one thing and mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you have to know what you can and can't do.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I liked him first, but it doesn't matter. I still like him. That doesn't matter either. Or at least, it's not supposed to.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I wants us to be real. I want to be just you and me.
- Ryan”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“It was like we were all so busy trying to be happy or saying we were happy, but underneath there was nothing but bitterness, the kind that could only be bled out in ink, in unspoken word.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“love is...you get confused and you do stuff you don't mean to do-and you just-you hate yourself and sometimes you don't even want to love the person you do because it would be so much easier if you didn't.But you just-you just do.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I’m broken, I have cut myself wide open. I can see my heart and it is not what I believed it was, it is not good and kind and all the things I have always thought I am.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“And what if---what are you if the people who are supposed to love you can leave you like you're nothing?”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I know who I want to be with, and it isn't her.
- Ryan”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“All the things I've thought about love are true. It's beautiful and terrible and it doesn't make things perfect. It ends things, and it brings beginnings.
This is mine.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“Imagine a guy. He’s a little taller than you, with perfect skin, skin that just screams “touch me!” and dark hair and gorgeous blue eyes and he looks so sweet and he is sweet. And then have him blush a little.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I'm so not interesting in having to try and make something out of foil."
What, you didn't like the poncho with wraparound leggings?"
It was beyond hideou- wait a minute. You watch that show?"
My mom loves it."
But your suppose to be sulking in the basement getting ready to light fires."
What can I say? I'm a failure as a teenager. I watch TV with my mom.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I wish it had never happened because then I wouldn't think about it as I'm falling asleep.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I’m always the one who doesn’t have a date, the one guys walk up to and say, “So, is your friend, you know, with someone?” and I may not be the only girl without someone, but it feels like it sometimes. A lot of the time.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“..."Are you okay?" he says, still looking at me, and I feel my smile slip, fade, and the silence that falls over us then is so total I can’t hear anything, not the rush-hiss of my heart pounding in my chest, not the sounds all around us; insects, wind, and the distant clatter of others’ lives in houses built close but not too close because when we look out our windows we all like to pretend that everything we see is ours. But Ryan is not mine.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“I knew from Brianna that being beautiful wasn’t all great. Brianna had changed in middle school. One day we were both seventh graders and the next, she was a supermodel who had a seventh grader for a best friend.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule
“This is what happiness is, past the rubbish of its overuse as a word, past the cracked gloss of the letters that mean nothing when strung together. They mean something now, and I know what it’s like when you and someone else are right together. How simple it is, and how amazing.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from The Unwritten Rule

“On bad days I talk to Death constantly, not about suicide because honestly that's not dramatic enough. Most of us love the stage and suicide is definitely your last performance and being addicted to the stage, suicide was never an option - plus people get to look you over and stare at your fatty bits and you can't cross your legs to give that flattering thigh angle and that's depressing. So we talk. She says things no one else seems to come up with, like let's have a hotdog and then it's like nothing's impossible.
She told me once there is a part of her in everyone, though Neil believes I'm more Delirium than Tori, and Death taught me to accept that, you know, wear your butterflies with pride. And when I do accept that, I know Death is somewhere inside of me. She was the kind of girl all the girls wanted to be, I believe, because of her acceptance of "what is." She keeps reminding me there is change in the "what is" but change cannot be made till you accept the "what is.”

“That I have no right to be jealous is irrelevant. It is a human passion: the sick, white underbelly of love.”

“That's a strange hobby for a Church Knight."
"God hired me as a fighting man, Sparhawk, not as a monk. I fight whenever He tells me to, but the rest of my time is my own.”

“آنچه واقعا نیاز داریم بدانیم این است که چرا کشورهای فقیر راه «نادرست» را انتخاب میکنند. انتخاب نادرست عمدتا ناشی از غفلت یا فرهنگ نیست. کشورهای تهیدست فقیرند، زیرا حاکمان این کشورها تصمیماتی میگیرند که ایجاد فقر میکند. آنها اشتباها یا از روی جهل، راه نادرست را در پیش نگرفتهاند، بلکه عامدانه به این راه میروند.”

SplitBookQuoters 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.
