“La vida había continuado después, la vida continúa siempre. Te da razones para llorar y razones para reír. Es la vida, Joséphine, confía en ella. La vida es una persona, una persona que hay que tomar por compañera. Entrar en su corriente, en sus remolinos, a veces te hace tragar agua y te crees que vas a morir, y después te agarra por el pelo y te deja más lejos. A veces te hace bailar, otra te pisa los pies. Hay que entrar en la vida como se entra en un baile. No parar el movimiento llorando por uno, acusando a los demás, bebiendo, tomando pastillitas para amortiguar el choque. Bailar, bailar, bailar. Pasar las pruebas que te envía para hacerte más fuerte, más determinada.”
― Katherine Pancol, quote from The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles
“Are you sure this isn’t crazy?” “Oh, I’m sure it is crazy. But isn’t that our thing? Or have you gotten boring now?”

“Daddy? We’re the parents of a Chihuahua?” “You never know what the future holds. It would be good practice.” “For when we had puppies?”

“I wouldn’t,” said the Luidaeg. “Love is love. It’s rarer in Faerie than it used to be—rarer than it should be, if you ask me. If you can find it, you should cling to it, and never let anything interfere. Besides, he has a nice ass.” Her lips quirked in a weirdly mischievous smile. “I mean, damn. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to wear leather pants. He’s one of them. He’s a clear and present danger when he puts those things on. Or takes them off.”
― Seanan McGuire, quote from The Winter Long
“Something softer flashes in his gaze right before he says: “That’s because you’re mine, Red. You always have been, even when you were miles away, and every part of you knows it.”

The Princess BrideBookQuoters 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.
