“I think you have a case of either 'testitis' or 'I Didn't Do My Homework Syndrome'. It's common in the Spring.”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from Vampireville
“You've used up all your school sick days," he said, persuing my file. "You've requested to leave school one hundred and thirty days out of the one hudred and forty days of school so far."
So thirty-one might be the magic number?"
Principal Reed and Raven”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from Vampireville
“The hunt isn't sustaining me. It's flowing blood that I really crave. The sweet taste of red succulent liquid mixing with the salt of my beloved as it drips and dances on his flesh. To know that someone will ache for me as much as I hunger for him and eternally satiate each other. I want someone to satisfy my hunger forever.”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from Vampireville
“I'm looking for someone
to quench my thirst-for all eternity"
-Luna Maxwell”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from Vampireville
“Alexander and I sat together on a backyard swing. "This is like a dream come true," Alexander said as we gently swung back and forth. "We can finally just focus on us now. Continue the traditional 'Boy meets girl, girl falls for boy, boy turns out to be a vampire' story.”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from Vampireville
“It's more like Gomez without Morticia.”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from Vampireville
“I had waited an eternity for this moment. My childhood fantasy was now coming true— I would be a dark angel of the night.”
― Ellen Schreiber, quote from Vampireville
“I remember when all you ever talked about was finding a guy and getting married. You'd hog the TV, watching those sappy chick flicks --"
"Then I grew up and learned why they always end the movie after the guy and girl get together. That's when everything falls apart.”
― Cindi Madsen, quote from Cinderella Screwed Me Over
“If blood alone is what defines us, no child born is born in freedom.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Archangel's Enigma
“I’m not wicked.” “Jensen, you’ve spent three years lying low, trying to make everything right. But you can’t redeem yourself. You can’t make yourself and your life whole again. God can.”
― Susan May Warren, quote from Take a Chance on Me
“This is the most immediate fruit of exile, of uprooting: the prevalence of the unreal over the real. Everyone dreamed past and future dreams, of slavery and redemption, of improbable paradises, of equally mythical and improbable enemies; cosmic enemies, perverse and subtle, who pervade everything like the air.”
― Primo Levi, quote from Se questo è un uomo - La tregua
“Braeden?” she called again tentatively. Braeden turned to her and smiled, a feral grin that spoke of cruelty to come. Sam swallowed. She was as good as dead.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
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.
