“Doubt everything [...]. Doubt everything at least once. What you decide to keep, you'll be able to be confident of. And what you decide to ditch, you will replace with what your instincts tell you is true.”
― Amy Plum, quote from After the End

“Something is nagging at the edge of my consciousness. It's a good feeling, but I can't quite place it. And then suddenly I do. It's a feeling of being where I'm supposed to be. A feeling of knowing that I'm in the right place at the right time. With the right person.”
― Amy Plum, quote from After the End
“I’m lying here in a tent, pretending to be asleep but actually fearing for my life as I watch a bunny murderer have a conversation with our campfire.”

― Seanan McGuire, quote from Discount Armageddon
“طوبى للذين لا يبيتون أسرى ما يملكون، لأنهم سوف يضحون أحرارا.
وطوبى لمن يذكرون أتراحهم، وفى أتراحهم يرقبون أفراحهم.
وطوبى للذين يتضورون جوعاً وينشدون الحق والجمال، فسيكون لهم من جوعهم الخبر الذى يأكلون، ومن ظمئهم الماء القراح الذى يشربون.
وطوبى لذوى الكرم والحلم، لهم من كرمهم وحلمهم خير عزاء وسلوى.
وطوبى للذين قد طهرت قلوبهم، لأنهم لن يكونوا بعيدين من الله.”
― Kahlil Gibran, quote from Jesus the Son of Man
“I like to believe prayers aren’t tethered to semantics.” Adam”
― P.C. Cast, quote from Redeemed
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.
