“I, for one, am ready for a lot more adventure and a lot less nothing.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“I don’t stay anywhere. I visit. I observe. I leave. I don’t ever stay.”
I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with this information. Tell him to leave? Tell him to stay? But I don’t have time to consider any other alternatives, because he scoots in closer and brings his hands to my face, and I fall back into the bookcase as he kisses me with this intensity—like he wants to be here, and if he kisses me just long enough, deeply enough, none of what he just said will actually be true.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“Time is the longest distance between two places.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“I stood there and stared at it—this colorful expanse of paper, with its topographic mountain ranges and changeable shades of blue to depict the various depths of the ocean—and saw a map of the world, but knew it wasn’t mine. My world was much, much smaller”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“I'm completely in love with you. What if I didn't leave, after all?”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“Poner a prueba el destino y jugar con el no siempre tiene consecuencias evidentes e inmediatas, al final algo acaba saliendo mal.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“Cualquiera que desee viajar puede encontrar el modo de hacerlo. Solo tiene que desplegar su creatividad.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“Al final estaré tan solo como al principio.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“And I know I need to invite him over for dinner, because there's no question. This is serious.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“Da igual si estaba escrito o no; no me corresponde a mí cambiarlo solo porque puedo.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“And I just keep going and going, picking up pins and stabbing them into the paper until the map is covered with places I’ll never see and the clear plastic box is as empty as I am.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“When I look around at this ‘normal’ life you’re so eager to leave, I don’t see boring or predictable—I see friends who love you and a family that would make any sacrifice for your happiness. I see the kind of security I’ve never had and always wanted. I may have given you access to the world I know best, but you and your family have given me a world that doesn’t exist on a map.”
― Tamara Ireland Stone, quote from Time Between Us
“Puoi portarmi ovunque. Oppure da nessuna parte. Ma in qualunque posto sarai su questa terra, è lì che vorrei essere anche io.”

Then she was at the bottom, in the filtered light, alone. Black water filled her nose and mouth, her stomach, her lungs.
Her soul.”

“You don't know you're wrong."
"And I don't know I'm right either. That's what the matter is. Neither of us knows. I'd only be gambling on my own convictions, and — and it isn't even my own money I'd be playing games with, if you want to put it that way. ”
― Elizabeth Marie Pope, quote from The Perilous Gard
“Warren Jeffs is both a problem and the symptom of a problem. The FLDS has created a lot of Warrens, men who are intoxicated with their own power, believing they need at least three wives to get into heaven and wanting to dominate women and children. Generation after generation of believers have been conditioned to equate obedience with salvation. People who have never been taught of allowed to think for themselves don't suddenly change. Change it too frightening. ”
― Carolyn Jessop, quote from Escape
“The ways of fate are indeed hard to understand. If there is not some compensation hereafter, then the world is a cruel jest.”

Just After SunsetBookQuoters 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.
