“Love is different from most things. If I gave my piece of chalk to someone, then I wouldn't have it anymore. But when I give my love to someone, I end up with more love than I started with. The more love you give away, the more you have left.”
― Louis Sachar, quote from Wayside School Is Falling Down


“Wayside school is falling down, falling down, falling down,
Wayside school is falling down my fair lady.

Kids go splat as they hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground,
Kids go splat as the hit the ground my fair lady
.
Broken bones and blood and gore, blood and gore, blood and gore,
Broken bones and blood and gore my fair lady.

We don't have to go to school no more, school no more, school no more,
We don't have to go to school no more my fair lady.”
― Louis Sachar, quote from Wayside School Is Falling Down

“Omul e ca o țeavă de sticlă prin care alunecă rotonduri colorate: la cei mai mulți, unul într-o viață. Dacă e roșu, se zice că omul e rău. Dacă e galben, omul e bun. Dacă sînt două, unul după altul - unul roșu, celălalt galben, - atunci se zice că e vorba de un caracter instabil. Noi, mușcații de șarpe, străbatem într-o singură viață, drumul pe care altminteri o specie întreagă de oameni îl urcă de-a lungul vârstei unei lumi: bilele colorate gonesc în șir de-a lungul țevii de sticlă, și când s-au sfârșit - sîntem profeți, oglinzi ale dumnezeirii.”
― Gustav Meyrink, quote from The Golem


“You guys are too horny. I don’t think it’s normal.”

― Kristen Ashley, quote from Rock Chick Renegade


“The stories we hear in our childhood are the ones we remember all our lives.”

About BookQuoters

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.
