“I didn't used to be like this. I didn't believe in love and romance and swooning. My default setting was bitch”
“This is the second fucking time I've gotten shot when I was with you. I don't think we can be friends anymore.”
“Everything that tried to stand between us doesn't matter.
We might have broken a little.
But now we're stronger in those broken places.
And we're going to face whatever comes next together.”
“I was here.
I lived.
I mattered.
This is a good way to go.”
“This is epic monument-style shit we're in.”
“Even though I wasn't there, you were always with me. Always.”
“I thought we had the kind of love that could do anything.”
“You suck at working with someone," I say, because it's true.”
“Instead of responding to me, he shakes his head and walks out of the room. And because I’m me, I follow. We are not done with this conversation.”
“Giving up on something is like admitting you never wanted it in the first place.”
“There are no rules. There are no guidelines.”
“You see how self-love keeps us from knowing our own defects of mind and body. Our reason tries in vain to show them to us; we refuse to see them till we find them in the way of our interests.”
“He was now beginning to wonder whether the jigsaw was the correct metaphor for relationships between me and women after all. It didn't take account of the sheer stubbornness of human beings, their determination to affix themselves to another even if they didn't fit. They didn't care about jutting off at weird angles, and they didn't care about phone booths and Mary, Queen of Scots. They were motivated not by seamless and sensible matching, but by eyes, mouths, smiles, minds, breasts and chests and bottoms, wit, kindness, charm, romantic history and all sorts of other things that made straight edges impossible to achieve.”
“Soru soran bir kadından kork,çünkü asla doğru cevap veremezsin.”
“Are you coming now?" Griffin snapped.
Karl glanced over at him and smiled. "What's the magic word?"
Griffin stalked off, muttering a word under his breath.
"That's not it," Karl called after him.”
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.
