“There is nothing in this life that can destroy you but yourself. Bad things happen to everyone, but when they do, you can't just fall apart and die. You have to fight back. If you don't, you're the one who loses in the end. But if you do keep going and fight back, you win.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“You are lyricist, me a composer - you and I make a complete song.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“I can't live in the normal world,
I'm just chasing time
I belong in that endless whirl
The place where you're mine.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“Why must we spend so much of our lives missing people instead of being with them?”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“I've been numb for years, and I didn't realize it until after you appeared and - and made me feel something. Since then, these past two weeks I've been awake. Alive. Restless for you to return - and afraid that you wouldn't.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“It's a wonderful feeling - you believing in me”

― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“As Michele looked around, she told herself that the next time she time traveled, she seriously had to remember to bring her digital camera.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“Sixteen long years of unbearable waiting. I can’t do it anymore. She was supposed to return—she always did—and now I see the cruelty in this helpless waiting, living at the mercy of Time. Dragging through the days, I ask myself why I bother when I know that the one place I can find her isn’t here on earth. That’s it—that’s enough of this—I’m done.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“Catch my eye,tell me what you see
Wonder if they could guess it about me
Here i'm standing in a double life
One with love,one with strife
Try to act normal,and play it cool
So afraid of breaking a rule
But now i'm falling to hard to stop
Can't help but take the next drop”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“I’m waiting for you,” he murmured, smiling a slow, familiar grin that seemed to hint at a secret
between them.
And for the first time, Michele and the mirror reflection were in sync as they both whispered, “Me
too.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“Bad things happen to everyone, but when they do, you can't just fall apart and die. You have to fight back.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“I can't live in the normal world
I'm just chasing time
I belong in that endless whirl
The place where you're mine
So take me there,where i belong to be
Inside time's mystery
Upside down and it feels so right
Take my hand ,we'll take flight”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“I want my life to have a purpose. Do you know what I mean?”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless

― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“It didn't matter to her whether she'd written anything brilliant. It just felt good to be able to write again.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“I know I can make my mark on this world, and not because of my last name - but because of my own talent.”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“what if the person you're meant to be with lives in another time?”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“Michele!” a voice sang out from across the hall. “Are you up? I made pancakes, come eat them
before they get cold.”
Michele’s eyes flickered open. Sleep or pancakes? That was a no-brainer. Her mouth was already
beginning to water at the thought of her mom’s specialty. She threw on a robe and fuzzy slippers and
padded through the modest house until she reached the cozy kitchen”
― Alexandra Monir, quote from Timeless
“It had been two weeks since her first real boyfriend, Jason, had broken
up with her on the eve of the first day of school. His exact words had been “Babe, you know I think you’re
the best and all, but it’s my senior year and I can’t have the baggage of a relationship. I gotta live it up,
play the field. You get it, right?” Uh, not exactly. So Michele had to begin her junior year with a broken
heart, which grew all the more painful last week, when word spread that Jason was hooking up with a
sophomore, Carly Marsh”

“I like libraries. It makes me feel comfortable and secure to have walls of words, beautiful and wise, all around me. I always feel better when I can see that there is something to hold back the shadows.”
― Roger Zelazny, quote from Nine Princes in Amber
“He was in a strange, badly lit room, wearing even stranger clothes, getting an earful from an unknown woman, in a language that he could and couldn’t exactly place in a very disturbing way.
These were not his memories.”
― Angelo Tsanatelis, quote from Origins
“They said that I should lose my ideals and begin to believe in the methods of practical politicians. Now, I have not lost my ideals in the least; my faith in fundamentals is exactly what it always was. What I have lost is my childlike faith in practical politics.”
― G.K. Chesterton, quote from Orthodoxy
“Unfortunately I am a completely impractical person, caught up in endless trains of thought. All of us are fantasists, ill-equipped for life, the children as much as myself. It seems to me sometimes that we never get used to being on this earth and life is just one great, ongoing, incomprehensible blunder.”

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.
