“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.”

“Родена съм в Цейлон през 1916 година, във времето, когато духовете ходеха по земята също като хората. Беше преди ослепителният блясък на електричеството и шумът на цивилизацията да ги прогонят в тъмните недра на горите. Те обитаваха огромни дървета, изпълнени с хладни синьо-зелени сенки. В пъстрото безмълвие човек можеше да се пресегне и почти да почувства тихото им присъствие, тъй като те копнееха да си възвърнат физическия образ. Ако се появеше неотложна нужда да се облекчим, докато пресичаме джунглата, трябваше да изречем молитва и да поискаме от тях разрешение още преди изпражненията ни да докоснат земята, тъй като те бяха много обидчиви. Нарушаването на самотата им беше извинението, което използваха, за да се вселят в неканения гост. Да вървят с неговите крака.”
― Rani Manicka, quote from The Rice Mother
“I looked into her eyes. "Mom, who do you pray to?"
I just pray, Daniel. That's all.”
― James Patterson, quote from The Dangerous Days of Daniel X
“That was the second thing—understanding what Mrs. Granger had said.”
― Andrew Clements, quote from Frindle
“Solo quiero que vivan su vida; que sigan adelante sabiendo que cada instante es valioso, que cada día es un regalo; que vean la vida como lo que es: una serie de infinitas posibilidades, no solo de grandes penas sino también de grandes alegrías.”
― quote from Between
“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
― A.A. Milne, quote from The World of Winnie-the-Pooh
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.
