“I don't deserve you. I'm not made for relationships. I know I'm going to fuck this up. I'm going to drive you away or do something to hurt you, and you'll be added to my list of people I screwed over. You should walk away now.”
― M.A. Stacie, quote from Unwritten Rules
“I always watch you. You consume my every thought.”
― M.A. Stacie, quote from Unwritten Rules
“My life was dark, torture and empty before you found me. You brought the light, Red. I love you.”
― M.A. Stacie, quote from Unwritten Rules
“Each day we stood almost shoulder to shoulder, occupying the same space, breathing the same air, but we remained strangers.”
― M.A. Stacie, quote from Unwritten Rules
“Oh, you want me to lie still while you check me out? Damn, Red, if I'd have known that earlier I would've been horizontal already.”
― M.A. Stacie, quote from Unwritten Rules
“Do you have my pussy? Oh God, cat!
Do you have my cat?”
― M.A. Stacie, quote from Unwritten Rules
“Love and hate. Same passion. Same impulse”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Haunted
“. . . Harboring an emotion as powerful as gratitude has power of its own.”
― Richard Paul Evans, quote from The Prisoner of Cell 25
“This was Greater Los Angeles in an age of change, crackling with the energy of doom, yearning for the Apocalypse, where an unintended slight or an inadvertent trespass on someone else’s turf might result in a thermonuclear response.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Sole Survivor
“And–since this willful amnesia had kept Robin's death from being translated into that sweet old family vernacular which smoothed even the bitterest mysteries into comfortable, comprehensible form–the memory of that day's events had a chaotic, fragmented quality, bright mirror-shards of nightmare which flared at the smell of wisteria, the creaking of a clothes-line, a certain stormy cast of spring light.”
― Donna Tartt, quote from The Little Friend
“If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace religious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of all the undue familiarity with which we approach God, it is questionable whether we have ever stood in his presence.”
― Oswald Chambers, quote from My Utmost for His Highest
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.
