“Yes. I tried to use the same technique with you. I didn’t want to pass out.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Vampire Most Wanted
“Divine had meant to try to shut her mind off from his sooner than she had, but had got wrapped up in the passion she’d so carefully stirred to life in them both and left it just that one second or two too long. Instead of remaining conscious as she’d hoped, she’d ended up passing out with him.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Vampire Most Wanted
“Aegle was suffering some mortal bug”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Vampire Most Wanted
“so little time to enjoy all that life and the world had to offer. Why would they waste even a moment of their precious time on someone who didn’t appreciate and treat them well?”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Vampire Most Wanted
“She’d found it was always best to live in the here and now rather than waste time with past events or what she couldn’t have and what could have been. Mind you, living in the here and now wasn’t always easy, but she did her best.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Vampire Most Wanted

“Alas...I too have known love, that ruler of hearts, that soul of our soul: it's never brought me anything except one kiss and twenty kicks in the rump. How could such a beautiful cause produce such an abominable effect on you?”
― Voltaire, quote from Candide: or, Optimism
“Every human being occupies a space at the dead center of his or her own universe.”
― Graeme Cameron, quote from Normal
“کلمات همیشه مالِ دیگران است. یک جور میراثی که مثل آوار روی آدم خراب می شود. چون آدم همیشه به زبانی حرف می زند که ساخته ی دیگران است. آدم در ایجاد آن هیچ دخالتی نداسته و هیچ چیز مال خودش نیست. کلمات حکم پول تقلبی را دارند که به آدم قالب کرده باشند. هیچ چیزش نیست که به خیانت آلوده نباشد
رومن گاری__”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Ski Bum
“Где взять другие сорок рублей? Акакий Акакиевич думал, думал и решил, что нужно будет уменьшить обыкновенные издержки, хотя, по крайней мере, в продолжение одного года: изгнать употребление чаю по вечерам, не зажигать по вечерам свечи, а если что понадобится делать, идти в комнату к хозяйке и работать при ее свечке; ходя по улицам, ступать как можно легче и осторожнее, по камням и плитам, почти на цыпочках, чтобы таким образом не истереть скоровременно подметок; как можно реже отдавать прачке мыть белье, а чтобы не занашивалось, то всякий раз, приходя домой, скидать его и оставаться в одном только демикотоновом халате, очень давнем и щадимом даже самим временем.”
― Nikolai Gogol, quote from The Overcoat

Around the World in...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.
