“И аз съм бил скитник, но както разбирате, само донякъде, защото знаех, че един ден литературният ми труд ще бъде възнаграден със социална обезпеченост. Не съм бил истински бродяга като онези останали без всякаква надежда освен съкровената вечна надежда, с която човек се сдобива, докато спи в празни вагони, носещи се през долината на Салинас в горещото януарско слънце, наситено със Златна Вечност, към Сан Хосе, където някакви хора със сурови лица ще го изгледат презрително и ще му дадат нещо да хапне и да пийне – край железопътната линия или на брега на Гуадалупе Крийк.”
― Jack Kerouac, quote from Lonesome Traveler
“There was a ring at the door. He did not answer. They would go away, and he would be alone again with his grief, his impotent anger, and his undusted possessions.”
― Ian Rankin, quote from Knots and Crosses
“In spite of the fact that I am a soulless monster who enjoys killing, it stung to have her think of me that way, especially since I had given my word of honor as an ogre that I was entirely innocent, at least in this case. I wanted to get along with my sister, but I was also miffed that she seemed a little too enthusiastic about her role as a representative of the Full Majesty of the Law, and not quite willing enough as my sidekick and confidante.”
― Jeff Lindsay, quote from Dexter in the Dark
“God exists since mathematics is consistent, and the Devil exists since we cannot prove it.”

― Alice Hoffman, quote from Incantation
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.
