Popular quotes

“But those of us left behind viewed life more dearly, felt it more keenly. I'd learned a bit more about God, and I'd seen His powerful hands at work. As I was growing, my heart was changing, and the way I figured it, there were lessons learned in those dark days that would help me for years to come. In fact, they were lessons that would help us all in years to come.”
― Jennifer Erin Valent, quote from Fireflies in December


“But doesn’t Shengjing promise to wipe away all tears?” “That promise is for after he defeats sin and ends suffering and sets up his Kingdom. That time has not yet come.”
― Randy Alcorn, quote from Safely Home


“Agatha surprised them both when she groused, "As for you, Grace, you'll return as well."

Grace blinked. "But..."

"No buts!" Agatha glanced from Noah to Grace. "I'll give you plenty of time off to continue this courtship with my grandson. But for the time being, I need you, so you will be there for me."

With the shoe on the other foot, Grace scowled. Knowing how she felt, Noah squeezed her hand, and Grace finally muttered, "All right."

Ben was chuckling at their predicaments when Agatha turned to him. He gulped.

"And you," she said, and she now sounded as demonic as she looked. "You're my damn grandson."

Wearing a facade of disregard, Ben cocked a brow. "Which makes you my damn grandmother?"

"Exactly." Looking satisfied, Agatha suddenly smiled. "I like all this cursing. It's sort of fun."

Ben sputtered, and Agatha added, "Oh, hell, you're too old to get tongue-tied, Ben, so knock it off."

Ben stared up at the heavens and pretended to pray.”
― Lori Foster, quote from Too Much Temptation


“Young man, until you know that all names are false you know nothing; not even the clothes on your body are what they seem to be.”
― Hermann Broch, quote from The Sleepwalkers


“Mankind will not perish for want of information; but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living . What we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder.”
― Abraham Joshua Heschel, quote from God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters 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.
