“A good thing about talking to someone who is standing behind you is that you can pretend you don't know they're crying, and not trouble yourself too much with working out why. You can simply concentrate on helping them feel better.”
― Nathan Filer, quote from The Shock of the Fall
“يا للفظاعة. حفنة من الاغبياء، يضربون و يخنقون و يسحقون ليحموا سلطانهم المشؤوم على الشعب. ان الوحشية تزداد، و القسوة تغدو شريعة الوجود فتأملي. ان بعضهم يضرب، و ينطلق من قيده كالوحوش مطمئنا إلى فجوره. انهم مصابون بظمأ الى التعذيب شهواني، مصابون بذلك الداء الكريه، داء العبيد الذين يباح لهم أن يظهروا غرائزهم المنحطة، و عاداتهم البهيمية؛ بكل ما فيهم من قوة. اما الاخرون فشهوة الثأر تسممهم، انهم يصبحون، و قد اخبلتهم الضربات، بكما و عميانا، لقد افسد الشعب، الشعب بكامله.”
― Maxim Gorky, quote from Mother
“I was conceived because it would be good for my House to have an heir and because my parents' genes ticked the right set of boxes. You were probably conceived because your parents loved each other."
"According to our mother," Bern said, "he was conceived because she was too wasted to remember a rubber."

― Kate Atkinson, quote from When Will There Be Good News?
“In the history of the world many souls have been, are, and will be, and with a little reflection this is marvelous and not depressing. Many jerks are made gloomy about it, for they think quantity buries them alive. That's just crazy. Numbers are very dangerous, but the main thing about them is that they humble your pride. And that's good.”

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.
