“You have to lace your fingers just right to catch your dreams. And you don’t want to lose them because they’re not easy to find again.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Unbreakable
“You can’t choose the person who really sees you—the person who knows what you’re feeling without you saying a word, the person who can make you laugh and cry and everything in between just by looking at you. The one you can’t imagine being lucky enough to have, or unlucky enough to lose.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Unbreakable
“My dad used to say the evil we enact on each other is worse than anything spirits and demons can do to us.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Unbreakable
“Nothing scared me more than the dark. I liked to see what was coming, and darkness was a place where things could hide.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Unbreakable
“Whenever I cared about someone, I imagined them leaving—the words they’d say, the way it would feel when they left. I thought if I prepared myself, it would be easier when it finally happened.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Unbreakable
“A tall girl towered over us, arms crossed tightly over her chest.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Unbreakable
“I'm not leaving."
"I want you out of the city, and now. If the chalet doesn't suit you, go where you like. But you will go."
"I have no intention of going anywhere."
"Fuck it. You're fired."
"Very well. I will remove my belongings and book a hotel until -- "
"Oh, shut up. Both of you shut the hell up." She fisted her hands in her hair, yanked fiercely. "Just my luck, you finally say the words I've been waiting over a year to hear and I can't do my happy dance. You expect him to put his tail between his skinny legs and hide?" she demanded of Roarke. "You think when you're in the middle of this kind of mess he's just going to bop over to Switzerland and yodel, or whatever the hell they do there?”
― J.D. Robb, quote from Betrayal in Death
“It was one of those perfect New York October afternoons, when the explosion of oranges and yellows against the bright blue sky makes you feel like your life is passing through your fingers, that you've felt this autumn-feeling before and you'll probably get to feel it again, but one day you won't anymore, because you'll be dead.”
― Sarah Dunn, quote from Secrets to Happiness
“Lo que más odio de escribir en la era digital es que todo acaba por desaparecer.
Es como escribir cartas que se evaporan en el aire después de que uno las lea.
Por eso hago copias.
El papel dura siempre.”
― Patrick Carman, quote from Skeleton Creek
“I consider every person an enemy until he has proven himself differently, and I find that in knowing my enemies, I can prepare against anything they might send against me.”
― R.A. Salvatore, quote from The Silent Blade
“I entered his apartment without being invited, which is perfectly fine if you're not a vampire.”
― Lisa Lutz, quote from The Spellmans Strike Again
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.
