“Vaig començar a adonar-me que podia resultar molt senzilla, la vida, si s'entrava en una rutina regular, amb hores fixes, salari fix i poca necessitat de tenir idees originals. La vida d´un escriptor és l'infern, comparada amb la d'un executiu. L'escriptor s'ha de forçar a treballar. S'ha de fer l'horari, i si no s'asseu a la taula de treball ningú no l'esbronca. Viu en un món de temor. Cada dia exigeix idees noves, i no pot estar mai segur de si les podrà seguir o no. Dues hores d'escriure ficció el deixa completament sec. (....) La persona que vol ser escriptor és un beneit. L'única compensació és uqe té tota la llibertat. No té més amo que el seu propi esperit; i es per això que es fa escriptor, n'estic segur”

“يجب أن تعرض منتجاتك لا أن تبقى على أمل أن يراها الزبائن مصادفة”

“All elements have a counterweight. Fire is the counterweight of water. Air is the counterweight of earth. The counterweight of chaos is the soul.”
― Holly Black, quote from The Iron Trial
“بشنو این نکته که خود را ز غم آزاده کنی
خون خوری گر طلب روزی ننهاده کنی
آخرالامر گل کوزه گران خواهی شد
حالیا فکر سبو کن که پر از باده کنی
گر از آن آدمیانی که بهشتت هوس است
عیش با آدمی ای چند پری زاده کنی
تکیه بر جای بزرگان نتوان زد به گزاف
مگر اسباب بزرگی همه آماده کنی
اجرها باشدت ای خسرو شیرین دهنان
گر نگاهی سوی فرهاد دل افتاده کنی
خاطرت کی رقم فیض پذیرد هیهات
مگر از نقش پراگنده ورق ساده کنی
کار خود گر به کرم بازگذاری حافظ
ای بسا عیش که با بخت خداداده کنی
ای صبا بندگی خواجه جلال الدین کن
که جهان پرسمن و سوسن آزاده کنی”
― Hafez, quote from The Divan

WeBookQuoters 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.
