“If people could fall apart, why couldn't they fall back together?”
“There's just one rule, just one basic law that everyone lives under : take control or be controlled.”
“There is no brightness without darkness. There is no body without its shadow.”
“She was a blank, a wordless being. She was a hole in the universe.”
“The answer cannot be found. That should be my new life motto.”
“It seemed to her that living without control of your own will was hardly a step above not living at all.”
“I don't trust you," she whispered, her gaze caught in his as if hypnotized. He was close enough to kiss. He could dominate a room and make her head spin, and his sudden vulnerability confused her. I barely know this boy. She had to remind herself of that when he ran his fingers down her arms, leaving goose bumps in his wake.”
“It's a limitless new world, and we are only just beginning to explore it.”
“Everytime he looked at her she felt brighter inside, and she yearned to keep his attention, to hold his gaze.”
“Because when you love someone, that's what you do - you get involved.”
“Well, that's the thing, isn't it? Everyone always blames the monster--but no one ever blames the one who created it. Isn't that right?" He sneered at Moira's limp form. "Tell me, who is the monster? The creation or the creator? It has to start somewhere.”
“Some people never changed, could always be depended on to be exactly the way they should.”
“Her mind drew him in, hid his image at its center, folded over him, the world slid into place, the chaos ceased.”
“[Lev Beniov:] "The imminence of death did not frighten me as much as it should have. I had been too afraid for too long; I was too exhausted, too hungry, too feel anything with proper intensity. But if my fear had diminished, it was not because my courage had increased. My body was so weak, so spent, that my legs trembled from the effort of standing upright. I could summon no great concern for anything, including the fate of Lev Beniov.”
“The problem with deciding to bend the rules was trying to figure out just how far you could bend them.”
“So the quesiton is," Bex said slowly,"How far are you willing to go?"
I looked at my three best friends in the world. "How far is there?”

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.
