“*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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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
“I can barely breathe. I feel like I’m going to explode. Jake Wilder is kissing me. French-kissing me. Is he even supposed to be French-kissing me for the play? I thought… Oh, who cares if he’s supposed to or not. He is, that’s all that matters.”
― Mari Mancusi, quote from Boys that Bite
“I can see her struggling to make what she considers courtly banter, but if she’s ever been kissed before, I’ll eat my hat. I’ll eat your hat, which has more lace on it.”
― Sherwood Smith, quote from Crown Duel
“We abandoned the appearance of power to preserve the essence of it.”
― Isaac Asimov, quote from Foundation's Edge
“Besides, she had just reached the autumnal period of womanhood, in which reflection is combined with tenderness, in which the beginning of maturity colours the face with a more intense flame, when strength of feeling mingles with experience of life, and when, having completely expanded, the entire being overflows with a richness in unison with its beauty. Never had she possessed more sweetness, more leniency. Secure in the thought that she would not err, she abandoned herself to a sentiment which seemed to her justified by her sorrows. And, moreover, it was so innocent and fresh! What an abyss lay between the coarseness of Arnoux and the adoration of Frederick!”
― Gustave Flaubert, quote from Sentimental Education
“In preparing for this ceremony," Kai said, setting the bouquet on the mantel behind him, "I did some research and learned that the word Alpha has held many meanings across history. Alpha can refer to the first of something," said Kai, "or the beginning of everything. It can be attributed to a particularly powerful or charismatic person, or it can signify the dominant leader in a pack of animals, most notably, of course, wolves." His serious expression tweaked briefly into a teasing smile. "It has meanings in chemistry, physics, and even astronomy, where it describes the brightest star in a constellation. But it seems clear that Ze’ev and Scarlet have created their own definition for the word, and their relationship has given this word a new meaning for all of us. Being an Alpha means that you’ll stand against all adversity to be with your mate. It means accepting each other, both for your strengths and your flaws. It means forging your own path to happiness and to love.”
― Marissa Meyer, quote from Stars Above
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.
