“Life is never going to be smooth sailing, but I've learned to roll with the punches.”
― Marie Hall, quote from A Moment
“As I look back on the time I've spent with him, loving him, learning him, I'm grateful for the moments. Because in the end, it's the moments that make life worth living...”
― Marie Hall, quote from A Moment
“some battles aren’t fought with fists, some are fought by just standing up and facing it, facing the truth, learning that what others have done to you doesn’t have to make you who are you. Only you can do that—you have the power to say “enough” and walk away, truly walk away.”
― Marie Hall, quote from A Moment
“So in the end, what is a moment? One action? A single deed? Or is it more? Is a moment like a school of silver fish? The sum of many singular parts forming one cohesive unit? I tend to think so. Because the moment I met Ryan, that was just one of the sum parts.”
― Marie Hall, quote from A Moment
“I’m grateful for the moments. Because in the end, it’s the moments that make life worth living…”

“وضع برنارد شو إصبعه على الحاجة الحقيقية في مقدمة "العودة إلى ميتوشالح" :
"دع الكنائس تسأل أنفسها: لماذا لا تحدث ثورة ضد قوانين الرياضيات كما تحدث ضد الدين؟ ليس ذلك لأن قوانين الرياضيات مفهومة أكثر. إن قانون إكمال المربع هو غير مفهوم بالنسبة للإنسان العادي تماماً كما لايفهم هذا الإنسان نفسه العقيدة "الاثانيزية"، وليس هذا لأن العلم خال من السحر والأساطير والمعجزات وتواريخ الحياة التي يفاخر بها "الأصدقاء" ببطولاتهم وقدسياتهم، ومن التافهين والفارغين الذين يدعون بأنهم مكتشفون، بل على العكس، فإن تصورات وقدسيات العلم كبيرة جداً وحقيرة بقدر كثرتها.
إلا أن طالب العلوم لم يتعلم أن قانون الوزن النوعي يتألف من الاعتقاد بأن أرخميدس قفز من الحمام وركض عارياً في شوارع سيراكوز صائحاً: وجدتها وجدتها، أو أن قانون إكمال المربع يجب أن ينبذ إذا استطاع أحد أن يثبت أن نيوتن لم يدخل بستاناً في حياته...
إننا نجد في الرياضيات والفيزياء أن الإيمان مايزال نقياً، وبإمكانك أن تتمسك بالقانون وتترك الأساطير دون أن يتهمك أحد بالهرطقة...”

The Lost TwinBookQuoters 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.
