“Et toujours ces questions si naturelles, anodines en apparence, ça marche toujours avec lui ? Est-ce que tu comptes te marier ? La désolation de mes parents devant une situation incertaine, "on aimerait bien savoir où ça va te mener tout ça". Obligé que l'amour mène quelque part. Leur peine sourde aussi. Ce serait tellement plus agréable, plus tranquille pour eux de voir se dérouler l'histoire habituelle, les faire-part dans le journal, les questions auxquelles on répond avec fierté, un jeune homme de Bordeaux, bientôt professeur, l'église, la mairie, le ménage qui se "monte", les petits-enfants. Je les prive des espérances traditionnelles. L'affolement de ma mère quand elle apprend, tu couches avec, si tu continues tu vas gâcher ta vie. Pour elle, je suis en train de me faire rouler, des tonnes de romans qui ressortent, filles séduites qu'on n'épouse pas, abandonnées avec un môme. Un combat tannant toutes les semaines entre nous deux. Je ne sais pas encore qu'au moment où l'on me pousse à liquider ma liberté, ses parents à lui jouent un scénario tout aussi traditionnel mais inverse, "tu as bien le temps d'avoir un fil à la patte, ne te laisse pas mettre le grappin dessus !", bien chouchoutée la liberté des mâles.”
― Annie Ernaux, quote from A Frozen Woman
“And the irony is that as soon as he finally had something, someone worth living for, he’s gone. Like he couldn’t handle that much goodness.”

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.
