“Living with stress and secrets is both stressful and secretive.”
― James Dawson, quote from This Book is Gay
“Freud called it ‘transference’. This basically means that you hate in others what you hate about yourself.)”
― James Dawson, quote from This Book is Gay
“Frankly, if you want to identify as a carrot, I will march in the Carrot Pride parade with you.”
― James Dawson, quote from This Book is Gay
“O impacto do bullying homofóbico é enorme. Pesquisas realizadas pela Stonewall, uma instituição de caridade britânica em prol dos direitos de pessoas gay, descobriram que 50% dos jovens estudantes LGB* já tinham cabulado aula, enquanto 70% disseram que o bullying tinha afetado seu desempenho na escola. Bom,”
― James Dawson, quote from This Book is Gay
“Um dos estereótipos mais estranhos sobre nós é que homens gay odeiam lésbicas e vice-versa. Deixe-me poupar o seu tempo. Se você está conversando com homens gay que desprezam lésbicas (ou então depreciam a vagina como conceito), está falando com imbecis misóginos. Se você está falando com uma mulher gay que classifica todos os homens gay como odiadores de lésbicas, você está falando com uma homofóbica sexista.”
― James Dawson, quote from This Book is Gay
“people aren’t allowed to say what’s really on their minds for fear of upsetting people, we’ll end up never saying anything at all.”
― James Dawson, quote from This Book is Gay
“However you identify, be it lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, asexual, curious, or carrot, we all have something in common—we are a minority, and we have made brave steps to identify as such; we have refused to hide and made a declaration of who we are.”

“Epigraph But little by little he gained courage, flew close to him, and drew with his little bill a thorn that had become embedded in the brow of the Crucified One. And as he did this there fell on his breast a drop of blood from the face of the Crucified One – it spread quickly and floated out and coloured all the little fine breast feathers. Then the Crucified One opened his lips and whispered to the bird: ‘Because of thy compassion, thou hast won all that thy kind have been striving after, ever since the world was created.’ Selma Lagerlöf, Robin Redbreast, Christ Legends”

“What do you need?" I asked, sitting beside him and fumbling through the mishmash in my lap. "How about this?"
I examined a container and read the label.
"Will belladonna do?"
"That's a poison, dear.I'd prefer if you didn't give me that." Even with his ghastly injury,his dry humor survived.”

“In other words, there are times when telling an outright lie may be the most loving thing a person can do. So I smile. As if I’ve just realized for the first time, thanks to your insight, Dad, that my race today was fantastic. As if I am proud of my thirty-fourth-place”

CandorBookQuoters 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.
