― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“How can you possibly think I’d want you to sacrifice yourself to save me? As if there wasn’t enough danger, now I have to worry you’ll take a bullet for me.”
My arms crossed as his anger ignited my own.
“As if, you jerk. You can take your own stupid bullet.”
― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“Yes"
Somehow, I wasn't surprised to hear his low voice. I opened my eyes, and Asher's fierce, unblinking stare held me captive. I couldn't think while trapped by the power of that intent look.
"Yes what?"
"Yes, you're worth dying for.”
― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“Tanrı ikimizin de yardımcısı olsun; sana âşığım.”

― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“Daha fazlasını istemeyi bırakmıştım ben. Seninleyken daha fazlasını istiyorum.”
― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched

― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“A first edition of Peter Pan appeared gift-wrapped on my bed - Lucy admitted that Asher had drafted her to help deliver that present.”
― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“Seni gidi güvensiz kız... Biz O'malley'lerin kabuğu serttir. Yakışıklı bir yüz ve mükemmel, olağanüstü bir vücut direncimizi kıramaz.”
― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“Şu an ne kadar zayıf olduğunu hissedemediğimi mi sanıyorsun? İstersem özlemini çektiğim şeyi alırım ve beni durduramazsın bile.”
― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“Cehennemi yaşadın ve şimdi istemediğin halde düşmanınla bir bağ kurdun. Benden daha iyi bir erkeği hak ediyorsun.”
― Corrine Jackson, quote from Touched
“The difference was not that one was a pessimist and the other an optimist, it was that one's pessimism had led to an ethos of fear, and the other's pessimism had led to a noisy, fractious disdain for Everything-That-Was. One shrank, the other flailed. One toed the line, the other crossed it out. Much of the time they were at loggerheads, and because Willy found it so easy to shock his mother, he rarely wasted an opportunity to provoke an argument. If only she'd the wit to back off a little, he probably wouldn't have been so insistent about making his points. Her antagonism inspired him, pushed him into ever more extreme positions, and by the time he was ready to leave the house and go off to college, he had indelibly cast himself in his chosen role: as malcontent, as rebel, as outlaw poet prowling the gutters of a ruined world.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Timbuktu
“May I consent to and delight in thy law after the inner man, never complain over the strictness of thy demands, but mourn over my want of conformity to them; never question thy commandments, but esteem them to be right. By thy spirit within me, may my practice spring from principle, and my dispositions be conformable with duty.”
― quote from The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions
“Wow. Why don’t you start with authority? Authority of what?’’ ‘‘Magic.’’ ‘‘Really. Magic experts? Are there magic lectures? Magic bake sales? Magic bingo night?”
― Devon Monk, quote from Magic to the Bone
“Representan un espíritu masculino y otro femenino íntimamente abrazados, pero la intención de estas pinturas no es en absoluto obscena y ni un solo tibetano las consideraría como tales. Los desnudos abrazados representan el éxtasis que sigue a la unión del Conocimiento y de la Vida perfecta.”
― quote from The Third Eye
“The fact is, I can’t put together the sort of feelings that I get when I’m having a dirty big wank together with the kind of feelings I get when I’m having a nice friendly chat with someone. It just doesn’t work.”
― Melvin Burgess, quote from Doing It
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.
