“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.”

“You can't kill a minuet de la coeur. You may shut up the music book... but surely the minuet-- the minuet itself is dancing itself away into the furthest stars, even as our minuet of the Hessian bathing places must be stepping itself still. Isn't there any heaven where old beautiful dances, old beautiful intimacies prolong themselves? Isn't there any Nirvana pervaded by the vain thrilling of instruments that have fallen into the dust of wormwood but that yet had frail, tremulous, and everlasting souls?”
― Ford Madox Ford, quote from The Good Soldier
“One day the enemy will cross the Great Green. They will bring war and tragedy to these eastern lands. Such is the nature of vile men. Yet we cannot live in dread of them. We cannot hide behind these high walls, our hearts trembling. For that is not life. We must accept the needs and the duties of each day, and face them one at a time.”
― David Gemmell, quote from Lord of the Silver Bow
“They didn't trip and kill each other.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Fury
“…Шефът обаче никога не ми прости, че получих онзи орден и лентата през гърдите, и гледаше през мен, сякаш ме нямаше, въпреки че аз си докарвах такива пари, че с тях покривах вече целия под, всеки трети месец отнасях цял под, застлан със стотачки крони, в заложната банка, защото си бях наумил, че ще стана милионер, че ще бъда равен с всички, и че после ще наема или ще си купя малък хотел, малко къщенце някъде в Чешкия рай, че ще се оженя, ще си намеря богата булка и нейните и моите пари заедно ще ме направят уважаван мъж, като всички останали хотелиери, и че дори ако не ме признават като човек ще бъдат длъжни да ме признаят като милионер, собственик на хотел и имоти, че ще им е съдено да се съобразяват с мен…”

The HiddenBookQuoters 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.
