“He had never thought of himself as much of a praying man, but as he sat in the car in the growing darkness and the minutes passed, he knew what it was to pray. It was to will goodness out of evil, hope out of despair, life out of death. It was to will dreams into existence and spectres into reality. It was to will an end to anguish and a beginning to joy.”
― Elizabeth George, quote from A Great Deliverance
“Il ne s'était jamais considéré comme un homme de prière, mais, assis dans la voiture au milieu de l'obscurité qui tombait et des minutes qui s'égrenaient, il comprit ce que le mot « prier » voulait dire. C'était vouloir que le mal se transforme en bien, le désespoir en espérance, que la mort devienne vie. C'était vouloir que les rêves existent et que les spectres deviennent réalité. C'était vouloir que finisse l'angoisse, vouloir que commence la joie.”

“Realize this, though. Half my genes run through your body, and my selfish genome is heavily evolutionarily pre-programmed to look out for its copies. The other half is copied from the man I admire most in all the worlds and time, so my interest is doubly riveted. The artistic combination of the two, shall we say, arrests my attention.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, quote from Mirror Dance
“Your size makes you seem delicate, like a spiderweb. But the wise fly knows that delicate can also be strong.”

“Zakon karme je neosebna energetska dinamika. Kadar so njene posledice posebljene, se pravi, ko jih doživlja osebnost s svojega zornega kota, jih doživlja kot preobrat v smeri, kot vračanje energije namena tistemu, ki ima namen. Tako osebnost doživlja neosebno dinamiko, ki jo opisuje tretji zakon kot "enako in nasprotno reakcijo". Oseba, ki namerava sovražiti druge, občuti, da jo drugi nameravajo sovražiti. Oseba, ki namerava ljubiti druge, občuti, da jo drugi nameravajo ljubiti, in tako dalje. To zlato pravilo je vedenjsko vodilo, ki temelji na dinamiki karme. Poosebljeno reklo karme bi bilo: "Od sveta sprejmeš to, kar svetu daš.”

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.
