“It is our desire to help you understand that you can get to wherever you want to be from wherever you are, no matter where you are or what your current state of Being.”
― Esther Hicks, quote from The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham
“I am so lonely without you, Aedan," Jane said simply.
"You truly want me?"
"More than anything. I'm only half without you."
"Then you are my woman." His words were finality, a bond he would not permit broken. She had given herself to his keeping. He would never let her go.
"And you'll never leave me?" she pressed.
"I'll stay with you for all of ever, lass."
Jane's eyes flared, and she looked at him strangely. "And then yet another day?" she asked breathlessly.
"Oh, aye.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from Into the Dreaming
“Subt copaci, fără de a rosti cuvânt, el o strânse la pieptul său; brațele li se împletiră în jurul trupurilor și până în zori, ca și cum ar fi fost cusuți cu ațe tari, nu-și desfăcură strânsoarea. În pofida regelui și a străjerilor, iubiții se bucurară de dragostea lor.”
― Joseph Bédier, quote from The Romance of Tristan and Iseult
“КУЛИНАРНО
След като се пържих на бавен огън от чакане под гранясалото слънце, най-накрая се озовах в зеления гювеч на един автобс, червив от пътници като швейцарско сирене. Сред куп юфка забелязах голям макарон с изпостелял от диета врат и на тиквата с мекица, на която се открояваше нещо като конец за рязане на масло. Този пъпеш сви сармите на един (попарен, сякаш са му изяли десерта!) сухар, понеже му правел на кайма джоланите. Но после бързо пусна кокала, за да се разлее (с брашно и захар, колкото поеме!) в една опразнена формичка за кекс.
Тъкмо се канех да преглътна всичко в автобуса на връщане, когато пред бюфета на гара Сен Севарин отново видях същия тутманик заедно с някакъв тиквеник (от тия, дето са на всяка манджа мерудия!), който му разтягаше лукуми как да се гарнира. И нашия съвсем я втаса.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style
“He slung both arms around the back of his chair, and it reminded me how different girls and guys were. Girls kept their bodies tucked in tight, while boys took up every inch of room they could.”

Corazón de tintaBookQuoters 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.
