― Eoin Colfer, quote from The Wish List
“Satan was crouched in the corner of his office, playing a gameboy, 'Die alien scum' he was saying feverishly..”

“You can't always wait for fate, you have to step in.”
― Paige Toon, quote from Chasing Daisy
“No, this is throwing up like coming off the tilt-a-whirl at age seven, like discovering that dead rat under the porch, like finding out someone you loved never loved you at all.”
― Megan Abbott, quote from Dare Me
“I'm not like him, Kara. Whoever he is, I'm not like him."
She ran a hand over his chest, with its mat of golden curls and teased one flat brown nipple, desire already running hot in her veins. "No. No you're not.”
― Pamela Clare, quote from Extreme Exposure
“La justicia es un principio abstracto que afecta a todos, que permite, según cómo se interprete, absolver o condenar a todo ser humano: culpables los ministros, culpables los papas, culpables los santos y los herejes, culpables los revolucionarios y los reaccionarios. Culpables todos de haber traicionado, matado, errado. Culpables de haber envejecido y muerto. Culpables de haber sido superados y derrotados. Culpables todos ante el tribunal universal de la moral histórica y absueltos por el de la necesidad. Justicia e injusticia sólo tienen un significado en lo concreto. De victoria o derrota, de acción realizada o padecida. Si alguien te ofende, si te trata mal, está cometiendo una injusticia; si, en cambio, te reserva un trato de favor, te hace justicia.”
― Roberto Saviano, quote from Gomorrah
“I like walking into a room and seeing your face light up when you see me,” he said earnestly, the sun from the open window making his hair glow. “I like arguing with Quen over the wisdom of employing a demon to be my security.”
My throat caught. This wasn’t going to happen, but something in me was withering. I wanted more—and I knew I couldn’t have it.
He touched my hair, and I twitched as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “I want to wake up beside you, see your curls on my pillow. I want a chance at falling in love.”
― Kim Harrison, quote from The Undead Pool

JacobBookQuoters 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.
