“On the dashboard of our family car is a shallow indentation about the size of a paperback book. If you are looking for somewhere to put your sunglasses or spare change, it is the obvious place, and it works extremely well, I must say, so long as the car is not actually moving. However, as soon as you put the car in motion ... everything slides off ... It can hold nothing that has not been nailed to it. So I ask you: what then is it for?”
― Bill Bryson, quote from I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America after Twenty Years Away
“He pointed to another number, changing as rapidly as the first, but on a lower trajectory; it rose to a high of 8.79 rem per hour. Several lifetimes of dentists’ X-rays, to be sure; but the radiation outside the storm shelter would have been a lethal dose, so they were getting off lightly. Still, the amount flying through the rest of the ship! Billions of particles were penetrating the ship and colliding with the atoms of water and metal they were huddled behind; hundreds of millions were flying between these atoms and then through the atoms of their bodies, touching nothing, as if they were no more than ghosts. Still, thousands were striking atoms of flesh and bone. Most of those collisions were harmless; but in all those thousands, there were in all probability one or two (or three?) in which a chromosome strand was taking a hit, and kinking in the wrong way: and there it was. Tumor initiation, begun with just that typo in the book of the self. And years later, unless the victim's DNA luckily repaired itself, the tumor promotion that was a more or less unavoidable part of living would have its effect, and there would appear a bloom of Something Else inside: cancer. Leukemia, most likely; and, most likely, death.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, quote from Red Mars
“ان ما يميز المجتمع في العصور الوسطى عن المجتمع الحديث هو نقصه من الحرية الفردية. لقد كان كل فرد من الفترة المبكرة مقيدا بدوره في النظام الاجتماعي. لم تكن امام الانسان سوى فرصة واهنة للتحرك اجتماعيا من طبقة الى اخرى, بل لا يكود يكون قادرا على الحركة حتى جغرافيا من مدينة الى اخرى او من بلد الى آخر. وفيما عدا استثناءات قليلة عليه ان يمكث حيث ولد. بل انه كان في الاغلب غير حر في ان يلبس كما يهوى او ان يأكل كما يشاء. وكان على الاسطى ان يبع حسب سعر معين وكان على الفلاح ان يبيع عند مكان معين. وكان محرما على عضو النقابة ان يفشي اية اسرار تقنية خاصة بالانتاج لاي فرد ليس عضوا في نقابته وكان مرغما على ان يدع زملاءه من اعضاء نقابته يشاركونه في اية عملية شراء مفيدة للمادة الخام. لقد هيمنت على الحياة الشخصية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية قواعد والزامات لم يفلت منها من الناحية العملية اي مجال من مجالات النشاط.”
― Erich Fromm, quote from Escape from Freedom
“I promise nothing will be more valuable in my life than you. That you will never be inconsequential.”
― K. Bromberg, quote from Crashed
“Riches take wings, comforts vanish, hope withers away,but love stays with us. Love is God.”

Of Love and ShadowsBookQuoters 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.
