“We sit there, our eyes locked on one another, for several seconds. I know in my heart we're both thinking the same thing. Jacob leans forward over the candle, the shadow of the flame dancing against his bottom lip. I lean forward to meet him as well. It's a kiss full of promise, of trust, and of all that is magic.”
― Laurie Faria Stolarz, quote from White Is for Magic
“If I told you, you'd only know it in your mind, not in your heart. There's a big difference.”

“تف به هرچی هروئینی است. بچههایی که هروئین میزنند به خوشبختی همیشگی عادت میکنند. کارشان تمام است. چون خوشبختی وقتی حس میشود که کم بودنش را حس کنیم. آنهایی که از این چیزها به خودشان تزریق میکنند، حتما در جستجوی خوشبختی هستند و فقط احمقترین احمقها برای پیدا کردن آن، چنین راهی را انتخاب میکنند. من هرگز گرتی نشدم. چند بار با دوستانم ماریجوانا کشیدم. آن هم برای اینکه باهاشان همراهی کرده باشم و به هر حال، ده سالگی سنی است که آدم خیلی چیزها را از بزرگترها یاد میگیرد. اما من میل چندانی به خوشحالی نداشتم. زندگی را ترجیح میدادم.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself”

“Marriage is patterned after Christ’s covenant relationship to his redeemed people, the church. And therefore, the highest meaning and the most ultimate purpose of marriage is to put the covenant relationship of Christ and his church on display. That is why marriage exists. If you are married, that is why you are married. If you hope to be, that should be your dream.”
― John Piper, quote from This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence
“Liquor doesn’t make you feel better. Just makes you not so worried about feeling bad.”

A Storm of Swords: B...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.
