― Judy Blume, quote from Tiger Eyes

“Something I'm not ready to name works itself under the grip of Charlies death and loosens it, and keeps the nightmare at bay when I fall back asleep.”
― Trish Doller, quote from Something like Normal
“By 1948 I was safe on my feet and able to get about quite normally, but I was thirty-four and life was slipping past me. I could not face burial alive in Coombargana at that age after all that I had been and done during the war, and I began to feel I should go crazy if I didn’t get away from it to England again, where things were happening. I think my parents understood, because they made no objection when I suggested that I should go back to Oxford for a year and finish taking my degree. That was five years ago. What I didn’t realise then was that it wasn’t England I was really fretting for. It was my lost youth.”

“Kate gave a disdainful wave of her hand. “I poo-poo the chit.” The attendant looked stunned. “You cannot poo-poo the chit!” “I do,” she said solemnly. “I do poo-poo.”
― Kenneth Oppel, quote from Starclimber
“Već dulje vrijeme primjećivao je Filip kako se sve stvari i dojmovi pod njegovim pogledom raspadaju u detalje samo za najrastvorenijih ratnih dana kad je sve bilo u raspadanju i kada se nije ništa drugo osjećalo nego prenagomilavanje stvari u slijepim količinama i to kako čovjek sam po sebi i nije ništa drugo nego neka neznatna i sitna količina samo za onih najmračnijih i najosamljenijih dana događalo se Filipu da se nije snalazio u zbivanju gubeći pregled nad svojim vlastitim trajanjem.”

Paris to the MoonBookQuoters 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.
