“I just look at you and say, ‘that used to be me. But it isn't anymore.”
― James Webb, quote from Fields of Fire
“She’s alive, Alaric. She was wounded, but it was minor,” Alexios said, a rough compassion in his voice. A strange weakness raced through Alaric and he had to fight his own lungs to draw breath. Quinn was wounded. “How minor?” he snarled. “Tell me, now.”
― Alyssa Day, quote from Atlantis Unleashed
“it was nearly dawn, and the hill was white with snow. She was covered with a thick blanket of bees, and the snow lay upon them in bright broken spangles. She sat up in distress— bees cannot survive hard cold outside their hives— but they seemed to shake themselves...”
― Robin McKinley, quote from Chalice
“Медленный переход осени к зиме вовсе не плохая пора . Это пора , когда нужно собрать, привести в порядок и сложить все свои запасы , которые ты накопил за лето .
А как прекрасно собирать все , что есть у тебя , и складывать поближе к себе, собрать свое тепло и свои мысли, зарыться в глубокую норку — уверенное и надежное укрытие; защищать его как нечто важное, дорогое, твое собственное. А после пусть мороз, бури и мрак приходят, когда им вздумается. Они будут обшаривать стены, искать лазейку, но ничего у них не получится, все кругом заперто, а внутри, в тепле и одиночестве, сидит себе и смеется тот, кто загодя обо всем позаботился. Есть на свете те, кто остается, и те, кто собирается в путь.
И так было всегда. Каждый волен выбирать, покуда есть время, но после, сделав выбор, нельзя от него отступаться.”
― Tove Jansson, quote from Moominvalley in November
“Maybe I’m turning into a pussy in my old age. The kicker? I don’t give a shit.”

Good Morning, Midnig...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.
