“Everyone wants a Christmas tree. If you had a Christmas tree Santa would bring you stuff! Like hair curlers and slut shoes.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Visions of Sugar Plums
“I wasn’t sure anymore what made a good marriage. There had to be love, of course, but there were so many different kinds of love. And clearly, some love was more enduring than others.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Visions of Sugar Plums
“Cripes, I can’t keep up on this political correct shit. I don’t even know what to call myself. One minute I’m black. Then I’m African American. Then I’m a person of color. Who the hell makes these rules up, anyhow?”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Visions of Sugar Plums
“In my father’s scheme of things, there were Italians and then there was the rest of the world.”

“was standing facing my car, and behind me, I could hear windows being thrown open in my apartment building. It was Lorraine in her nightie and Mo in his cap. They’d just settled their brains for a long winter’s nap in front of the television. When out in the lot there arose such a clatter, they sprang from their recliners to see what was the matter. Away to the window they flew like a flash, tore open the blinds and threw up the sash. And what to their wondering eyes should appear, but Stephanie Plum and yet another of her cars burning front to rear.”

“I sat there looking normal but thinking about how much I wished we were going to see the real Jesus. Everyone needed a miracle once in a while.”
― Jennifer Gooch Hummer, quote from Girl Unmoored
“Haciendo algunas reflexiones rápidas sobre el carácter del infantil creador, que debía aún, ¡ay!, durante mucho tiempo, hacer sufrir a la humanidad (la eternidad es larga), bien con las crueldades ejercidas o bien con el innoble espectáculo de los chancros que produce un gran vicio, cerré los ojos, como un hombre ebrio, al pensar que tenía tal ser por enemigo, y reemprendí, con tristeza, mi camino por el dédalo de calles.”
― Comte de Lautréamont, quote from Maldoror = Les Chants de Maldoror, together with a translation of Lautréamont's Poésies

بعض الغناء لقوته ،
من يملك مثل هذه القوة !؟
بعض الغناء لعطاياه ..
لعلاماته و إشاراته
بعض الغناء لمجده المميز ،
عظيم هو و جميل
بعض الغناء لنعمة التحصل على معرفته ،
من خلال الدراسات الفلسفية الصعبة !
بعض الغناء لأنه من صمم الجسد ،
ثم قلّصه مرة أخرى إلى غبار
بعض الغناء لأنه من يأخذ الحياة ،
و يعيدها مرة أخرى !
بعض الغناء لأنه يبدو ..
بعيدا .. بعيدا جدا
بعض الغناء لأنه قريبا منّا جدا ،
الآن .. و في أي وقت مضى
بعض الغناء لأنه ،
لم يقصّر في ارسال من يعلموننا و يوعظوننا
ملايين و ملايين ، قدموا لنا
ملايين الخطب و الحكايات
...
المعطي العظيم مستمر في العطاء ،
بينما هؤلاء المستعطين ، يضجرون من عطاءه
و على مر العصور ، يعطي ،
.. و يستهلكون !
انه يقودنا بإشاراته
إلى السير على الطريق
اوه ناناك :
انه طريق يزهر
بالبهجة و السلام”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“After all,' Magnus remarked aloud to himself, swinging his monkey-headed cane, 'attractive and interesting persons do not simply drop out of the sky.'
It was then that the fair-headed Shadowhunter that Magnus had spotted at the Institute somersaulted from the top of a wall and landed gracefully in the street before him.
'Devastating ensembles made on Bond Street with red brocade waistcoats do not simply drop out of the sky!' Magnus proclaimed experimentally to the Heavens.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale

WarlordBookQuoters 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.
