“some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.”
― Judy Blume, quote from Tiger Eyes
“Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.”
― Judy Blume, quote from Tiger Eyes
“I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.”
― Judy Blume, quote from Tiger Eyes

― Judy Blume, quote from Tiger Eyes
“Some changes happen deep down inside of you. And the truth is, only you know about them.”
― Judy Blume, quote from Tiger Eyes
“The tears pool in my eyes and fall down my face. I love her so much and all I’m doing is hurting her. The one person in my life who never lets me down and all I keep doing is breaking her apart. I let her down every time I leave, I let her down every time she has to handle something alone, I let her down when I come home and I’m not myself because I’m still stuck in a place halfway across the world”
― Tara Sivec, quote from Fisher's Light
“I will learn your anger. I will lick your sadness.
I will feast on your hunger.”
― Caitlyn Siehl, quote from What We Buried
“Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
No amount of money,
Can stop me from loving you,
Try as they may,
Try as they might,
I’m not letting go,
Without a fight,
Some say it’s wicked,
Some say it’s sinful,
Some it’s wrong,
And just wrong,
I don’t know much,
But when push comes to shove,
I definitely don’t believe,
There’s such thing wrong as love.”
― Chris Colfer, quote from Struck by Lightning: The Carson Philips Journal
“That is faith. You cannot measure it with weights and doses like your herbs. You cannot classify it in your books, or test it with chemics. But it is there, more powerful than any bit of old world science. Only the Creator can see the path ahead. He makes of us what he wants—what the world needs—us to be. But we can have a glimpse, looking back.”
― Peter V. Brett, quote from The Skull Throne
“I do not mind difficulties, as long as they are new difficulties.”
― Ruskin Bond, quote from Delhi Is Not Far
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.
