“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.”

“He was reading from the beginning so that he could get to the end, where the reader was assured that the knight and the fair maiden lived together happily ever after.”

“,the rest of the girls pretended not to notice. That's just what best friends do.”
― Sara Shepard, quote from Pretty Little Liars
“I have seen something like it happen in battle. A man was coming at me, I at him, to kill. Then came a sudden great gust of wind that wrapped out cloaks over our swords and almost over our eyes, so that we could do nothing to one another but must fight the wind itself. And that ridiculous contention, so foreign to the business we were on, set us both laughing, face to face - friends for a moment - and then at once enemies again and forever.”
― C.S. Lewis, quote from Till We Have Faces
“It was sad, tragic—and true! Heaven could not be what Ruby had been used to. There had been nothing in her gay, frivolous life, her shallow ideals and aspirations, to fit her for that great change, or make the life to come seem to her anything but alien and unreal and undesirable.”

“I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you're with them.”

Muerte 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.
