“The second we put a bullet in the head of one of those undead monsters -- the moment one of us drove a hammer into one of their faces -- or cut a head off. We became what we are! And that's just it. THAT's what it comes down to. You people don't know what we are.

We're surrounded by the DEAD. We're among them -- and when we finally give up we become them! We're living on borrowed time here. Every minute of our life is a minute we steal from them! You see them out there. You KNOW that when we die -- we become them. You think we hide behind walls to protect us from the walking dead?

Don't you get it? We ARE the walking dead! WE are the walking dead.”
― Robert Kirkman, quote from The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense


“Don't you get it? We are The Walking Dead!”
― Robert Kirkman, quote from The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense


“You kill -- You die."

That was probably the most naive thing I've ever said. The fact is -- in most cases, NOW, the way things are -- you kill -- you LIVE.”
― Robert Kirkman, quote from The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense


“You think I've been around these fuckers long enough to get comfortable enough to SLEEP ten feet away from them? Not fucking likely. (Axel)”
― Robert Kirkman, quote from The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense


“Okay, I'll move the lawn chairs. (Axel)”
― Robert Kirkman, quote from The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense

“- Хайде, старче, не прави глупости. Подпиши таз гадост – изръмжа Хедрон, като се приведе над Круг и отпусна на рамото му ръката с лулата. – Има ли някакво значение? Драсни я тази твоя комерсиално безценна заврънкулка. Хайде! Никой няма да пипне нашите кръгове, но все пак нали трябва да имаме място, където да ги чертаем.
- Не и в калта, уважаеми, не и в калта – назидателно рече Круг и за първи път се усмихна тази вечер.
- Хайде стига! Не се прави на надут педант – въздъхна Хедрон. – Защо да ме караш да се чувствам толкова неудобно? Аз подписах. И какво? Моите богове изобщо не се трогнаха.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, quote from Bend Sinister

About BookQuoters

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.
