“Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it”
“Or perhaps all those things you missed upon first glance mean much more than you could ever guess.”
“Penn station", Ali said to the driver, slamming the door. Then she turned back to Hanna. "We ditch the bitches", she said. "And then we take them down".”
“Truth is stranger than fiction, after all.”
“Get ready to meet your maker. It won’t be long now. Kisses! A (the real one)”
“When Courtney appeared from the hallway, a whisper of a smile emerged on her eerily familiar face; Spencer’s legs dissolved into Jell-O. Aria let out a small squeak.”
“It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.”

“Glynis no sólo trabajaba (o había trabajado) con metal; era metal. Rígida, poco dispuesta a cooperar e inflexible. Dura, refractaria y de una radiante rebeldía. El cuerpo largo, estilizado y anguloso como las joyas y la cubertería que una vez diseñó; en la escuela de artes y oficios no había elegido su medio por casualidad. Se identificaba naturalmente con cualquier material que se negara encarnizadamente a hacer lo que uno quería, cuya forma fuese resistente al cambio y sólo respondiera al trato violento. El metal era un escándalo. Si alguna vez se lo maltrataba, sus abolladuras y arañazos captaban la luz como rencores ocultos.”

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.
