“Plakala. Plakala, protože byla smutná, že není ta žena, kteoru si muž ve tmě přitáhne k sobě. Plakala, protože byla zklamaná a unavená. Plakala potichu, ale seděla narovnaná a ramena se jí ani nezachvěla. Byla sama udivená, že pláče tak důstojně. Když si špičkou jazyka přejela rty, cítila slanou chuť slz, které jí stékaly po tvářích. Byly jako voda na plátně, která se valila proudem a hrozila, že odnese dům farmářů a taky tu starou Joséphine, která si neuměla představit, že by mohla plakat v setmělém kině vedle jiného kluka než Antoina. Dávala jí tak sbohem; a plakala proto, že se s ní loučila. Loučila se s tou hodnou, rozumnou a mírnou Joséphine, která se vdala úplně nezkušená, vychovala dvě děti, snažila se dělat všechno nejlíp, která jednala vždycky správně a rozumně. Ta teď mizela a objevovala se jiná Joséphine. Ta psala knihu, seděla v kině s mužem a čekala, že ji obejme! Nevěděla, jestli se tomu má smát nebo má plakat.”

“In all fairness, darlin’, I should probably warn you that this ain’t my first rodeo.”
― Cindi Madsen, quote from Falling for Her Fiance
“I don't like it either! I have to do my job, though, just like you have to do your job when you tell a jury that it's reasonable to believe that a normal person throws a wine and cheese party in his pants!”
― N.M. Silber, quote from The Law of Attraction
“At least my headache was almost gone. I always deal better with emergencies when I’m not actively in pain.”
― Seanan McGuire, quote from The Winter Long
“Remember what happened last time, when someone wanted to get revenge on me when I made them look bad?” Pain and fury flashes in his gaze before he shakes his head. “Never again, Red. You hear me? Never fucking again.”
― K.C. Lynn, quote from Resisting Temptation

DisclaimerBookQuoters 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.
