“Quién es, preguntó. Se lo dije. A nuestro alrededor continuaban los ruidos de siempre: los niños, los perros y los timbres de las bicicletas; las campanas de San Andrés llamando a la última misa, las ruedas de los carros girando sobre los adoquines, los mulos cansados camino al fin del día. Ignacio tardó en volver a hablar. Tal determinación, tanta seguridad de intuir en mi decisión que ni siquiera dejó entrever su desconcierto. No dramatizó ni exigió explicaciones. No me increpó ni me pidió que reconsiderara mis sentimientos. Solo pronunció una frase más, lentamente, como dejándola escurrir. -Nunca va a quererte tanto como yo-”

“The flare-watch in East Nekhebet had picked up an energy pulse, much brighter than anything seen previously. Briefly, there was the worrying possibility that Delta Pavonis was about to repeat the flare which had wiped out the Amarantin: the vast coronal mass ejection known as the Event. But closer examination revealed that the flare did not originate from the star, but rather from something several light-hours beyond it, on the edge of the system.”

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.
