“*Always schedule enough time between connections. I always like to give myself at least two hours between flights. It’s much easier to sit in the terminal for three hours than it is to sit on standby for two days because you missed your connection.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“The weather may not be at your point of origin. It may not even be at your destination. It could possibly be somewhere in the middle of your flight path, and it is obviously severe enough that the flight has to hold steady until it passes.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“If your pilot was supposed to land at 10pm and instead landed at 12am and only had the minimum amount of rest required by law before the next flight, then the flight will have to be delayed for two hours to ensure that the pilot is legally rested.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“When it comes to small children, they obviously need and have to be seated with their parents. If a flight attendant asks for you to switch to accommodate a family, try to be understanding”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“If you don’t want people walking in your house and putting their feet on your coffee table, then keep your feet where they belong.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“A normal configuration with three seats on each side will be lettered A, B, and C on the left side, starting at the window. Then D, E, and F on the right side, starting with the aisle.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“which most people ignore. There are a lot of FARs. So many FARs, in fact, that flight attendants have to carry around a little book at all times that gives reference to every FAR out there.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“If you are wondering why you have to put your bag under the seat in front of you, it is because you, and the people you share a row with, will need a clear path of exit during an emergency.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“When you fly on smaller planes, sometimes the seating arrangement has to be changed because of weight and balance.”
― quote from Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
“Is Jase already gonna marry you?”
I start coughing again. “Uh, No. No, George. I’m only seventeen.” As if that’s the only reason we’re not engaged.
“I’m this many.” George holds up four, slightly grubby fingers. “But Jase is seventeen and a half. You could. Then you could live in here with him. And have a big family.”
Jase strides back into the room, of course, midway through this proposition. “George. Beat it. Discovery Channel is on.”
George backs out of the room but not before saying, “His bed’s really comfortable. And he never pees in it.”
― Huntley Fitzpatrick, quote from My Life Next Door
“Sex and dominance. It’s what modern humans think vampire relationships are all about,” I said. “Their stories are full of crazed alpha-male vampires throwing women over their shoulders before dragging them off for dinner and a date.” “Dinner and a date?” Matthew was aghast. “Do you mean . . . ?” “Uh-huh. You should see what Sarah’s friends in the Madison coven read. Vampire meets girl, vampire bites girl, girl is shocked to find out there really are vampires. The sex, blood, and overprotective behavior all come quickly thereafter. Some of it is pretty explicit.” I paused. “There’s no time for bundling, that’s for sure. I don’t remember much poetry or dancing either.” Matthew swore. “No wonder your aunt wanted to know if I was hungry.” “You really should read this stuff, if only to see what humans think. It’s a public-relations nightmare. Far worse than what witches have to overcome.”
― Deborah Harkness, quote from Shadow of Night
“All that matters is I love you, and the thought of you safe is the only thing keeping me going”
― Amie Kaufman, quote from Illuminae
“Perhaps, as we say in America, I wanted to find myself. This is an interesting phrase, not current as far as I know in the language of any other people, which certainly does not mean what it says but betrays a nagging suspicion that something has been misplaced. I think now that if I had any intimation that the self I was going to find would turn out to be only the same self from which I had spent so much time in flight, I would have stayed at home.”
― James Baldwin, quote from Giovanni's Room
“You're his mate, his one, his partner, his companion, his soul mate, the person he'll be with forever.”

The DollBookQuoters 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.
