“Sometimes people would rather accept a lie than know the truth. Life is a whole lot easier to swallow that way.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse

With that, I throw my head back and laugh. "That man has no problem finding a meal. I highly doubt he's starving."
She scrunches her nose to show me she doesn't agree. "Well, maybe he just spotted something new on the menu. You know men and their food; they have to try a little bit of everything until they're completely satisfied.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse

― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse

"I've done all the practice sketches I can handle.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse

Popular quotes

“Otto Piper points out that “there is always an element of mistrust implied in the marriage contract.”2 The reason we promise to love each other “till death do us part” is precisely because our society knows that such a promise will be sorely tried—otherwise, the promise wouldn’t be necessary! We don’t make public promises that we will regularly nourish our bodies with food or buy ourselves adequate clothing. Everyone who enters the marriage relationship will come to a point where the marriage starts to “rub” somewhat adversely. It is for these times that the promise is made. Anticipating struggle, God has ordained a remedy, holding us to our word of commitment. In this struggle we become nobler people.”
― Gary L. Thomas, quote from Sacred Marriage: Celebrating Marriage as a Spiritual Discipline


“Lo único libre son los precios. En nuestras tierras, Adam Smith necesita a Mussolini. Libertad de inversiones, libertad de precios, libertad de cambios: cuanto más libres andan los negocios, más presa está la gente. La prosperidad de pocos maldice a todos los demás. ¿Quién conoce una riqueza que sea inocente? En tiempos de crisis, ¿no se vuelven conservadores los liberales, y fascistas los conservadores? ¿Al servicio de quiénes cumplen su tarea los asesinos de personas y países? Orlando”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from Days and Nights of Love and War


“The artist is the closest man comes to being God.”
― Leonard Peikoff, quote from Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand


“Que sonho bom: nunca mais olhar na cara de outro ser humano.”
― Charles Bukowski, quote from South of No North


“The horse-shoe or rabbit's foot contains no power, but man's spoken word and belief that it will bring good luck creates expectancy in the subconscious mind, and attracts a "lucky situation.”
― quote from The Game Of Life How To Play It

About BookQuoters

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.
