“The place is good. How good, one must have circumnavigated the globe to discover. Why not stay? Take root? But roots are chains. I have a terror of losing my freedom. Free, without ties, unpossessed by any possessions, free to do as one will, to go at a moment's notice wherever the fancy may suggest--it is good. But so is this place. Might it not be better? To gain freedom one sacrifices something [...] and all that these things and people signify. One sacrifices something--for a greater gain in knowledge, in understanding, in intensified living? I sometimes wonder.”
― Aldous Huxley, quote from Point Counter Point
“You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel the world give way beneath you.”
― Jodi Picoult, quote from Salem Falls
“On occasions of this sort it was, I must admit, very pleasurable to be a monarch: to be able to get important things done by smothering stupid opposition with a single authoritative word.”
― Robert Graves, quote from Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina
“I was prompted for a password. Why did she need a password? Didn't she trust me? I hope you're smiling, because I know I am. - Caleb”
― C.J. Roberts, quote from Epilogue
“برای من او در عين حال يک زن بود و يک چيز ماوراء بشری با خودش داشت. صورتش يک فراموشی گيج کننده
ی همه ی صورتهای آدمهای ديگر را برايم می آورد به طوری که از تماشای او لرزه به اندامم افتاد و
زانوهایم سست شد در اين لحظه تمام سرگذشت دردناک زندگی خودم را پشت چشمهای درشت، چشمهای بی
اندازه درشت او ديدم، چشمهای تر و براق، مثل گوی الماس سياهی که در اشک انداخته باشند در چشمهايش
در چشمهای سياهش شب ابدی و تاريكی متراکمی را که جستجو ميكردم، پيدا کردم و در سياهی مهيب
افسونگر آن غوطه ور شدم، مثل اين بود که قوه ای را از درون وجودم بيرون ميكشند، زمين زير پايم ميلرزيد
و اگر زمين خورده بودم يک کيف ناگفتنی کرده بودم”

What We SawBookQuoters 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.
