“Because apart we might be as different as night and day, black and white, right and wrong, but together we create two sides of a whole. Together we balance.”
“People can be so annoying sometimes. With all their stupid opinions and hidden agendas. But dogs? Dogs don’t have any agendas. They’re as honest and open and devoted as you can get. And that’s why they’ll always cheer you up. They’ll always love you. No matter how badly you screw up.”
“New languages are not something you can pick up overnight. They take time. Patience. The willingness to change the way you think about what you already know.”
“Instead of constantly living up to everyone's expectations, why not destroy them?”
“Aren’t universal transmissions supposed to be pure and uncorrupted?”
“And for the last ten or so years of my life, whenever my father was in the house, I've learned how to make myself scarce.”
“No hay mat que por bien no venga --there is no bad that doesn't come with good”
“You win your people or you lose your throne.”
“His chair glides a few inches closer and he's in my face, all shoulders and cologne.”
“She is one of these women who always carries a home with her, wherever she is.”
“If you need to be pissed off at me today, you’re going to have to get in line. There’s quite a wait.”
“U životu svakog muškarca postoji samo jedna žena s kojom može postići savršeno zajedništvo, a u životu svake žene samo jedan muškarac s kojim se može osjećati potpuno.

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.
