She wasn't a hero.

She was bad.
And she was good.
She was real.”

― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight


“I used to think that I needed to be part of a story, a big story, one with trials and villains and temptations and rewards. That's how I would conquer it, conquer death."
She sighed again, and nestled in closer to me. "All that matters, in the end, is the little things. The way Mim says my name to wake me up in the morning. The way Bee's hand feels in mine. The way the sun cast my shadow across the yard yesterday. The way your cheeks flush when we kiss. The smell of hay and the taste of strawberries and the feel of fresh black dirt between my toes. This is what matters, Midnight.”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight

― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight


“We ate the berries ripe and juicy and hot from the sun, like Laura and Lizzie at the Goblin Market, For your sake I have braved the glen, and had to do with goblin merchant men. Eat me, drink me, love me. Hero, Wolf, make much of me. With clasping arms and cautioning lips, with tingling cheeks and fingertips, cooing all together.”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight


“And eventually I realized that the reason I felt so peaceful was because Wink wasn’t taking stock. She wasn’t trying to figure out if I was sexy, or cool, or funny, or popular. She just stood in front of me and let me keep on being whoever I really was. And no one had ever done that for me before, except maybe my parents,”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight


“When you look into the darkness, the darkness looks into you. I”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight


“The sun was streaming in the hayloft opening, low and hazy. Which was the only way I could tell how late it was. Time seemed to have stopped entirely. I hadn’t had a day go by so dreamily, so lazily, since I was a little kid. Since before I understood the concept of time.”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight



“Maar morgen zal het beter zijn. Eet maar een aardbei en wacht tot het morgen is.”

“انتقام.
عدالت.
عشق.
این‌ها سه داستانی هستند که تمام داستان‌ها از آنها ساخته شده‌اند. سه رکن اصلی و درست به همین ترتیب. مثل سوپ درست کردن برای یتیم‌هاست. باید ابتدا با پیاز شروع کنید، سپس کرفس و بعد هویج. آنها را قطعه قطعه می‌کنید و داخل قابلمه می‌ریزید و می‌پزید. هرچیزی که بعد از این سه داخل قابلمه می‌ریزید بقیه‌ی محتویات هستند. داستان‌ها هم همینطور هستند.”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight


“Dad wouldn't bother me if my door was closed. He respected privacy. Privacy was like gold to him, as in worth it's weight. He wanted it, and so he gave it to others freely, and without question”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight


“Poppy was saying my name over and over in the drippy sweet voice that had once set me on fire and now just made me feel cold.”
― April Genevieve Tucholke, quote from Wink Poppy Midnight

“Whenever I am very happy or very sad or very embarrassed, I cram my mouth with sweets and litter the breezeway with discards.

Когда я очень счастлив, или очень огорчен, или смущен, я всегда набиваю рот сладостями и бросаю обертки где попало.”
― Ray Bradbury, quote from Death Is a Lonely Business

About BookQuoters

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.
