― E.K. Johnston, quote from Ahsoka

“Hypergamy. Do you know what it is?” “Never heard of it.” “Bedding women of a superior social class. Desire based on a superior social class.”
― Philip Roth, quote from The Counterlife
“9. HUMAN RIGHTS [70:9.1] Nature confers no rights on man, only life and a world in which to live it. Nature does not even confer the right to live, as might be deduced by considering what would likely happen if an unarmed man met a hungry tiger face to face in the primitive forest. Society's prime gift to man is security. [70:9.2] Gradually society asserted its rights and, at the present time, they are Assurance of food supply. Military defense—security through preparedness. Internal peace preservation—prevention of personal violence and social disorder. Sex control—marriage, the family institution. Property—the right to own. Fostering of individual and group competition. Provision for educating and training youth. Promotion of trade and commerce—industrial development. Improvement of labor conditions and rewards. The guarantee of the freedom of religious practices to the end that all of these other social activities may be exalted by becoming spiritually motivated.”

“Since no one is perfect, it follows that all great deeds have been accomplished out of imperfection. Yet they were accomplished, somehow, all the same.”

“I am sorry." Kaleb grinned at me. "Sorry I didn't meet you first.”
― Myra McEntire, quote from Hourglass
“Ko se uprete zasvojenosti in izberete, da boste postali celoviti, se uravnate s svojo nefizično pomočjo. Delo, ki ga je treba opraviti, je vaše, toda vedno vam je na voljo pomoč. Nefizični svet, dejanja vaših vodnikov in učiteljev, se dotikajo vašega sveta na veliko načinov- z mislijo, ki prinaša moč, s spominom, ki vas spomni, s pojavom presenečenja, ki krepi. V nefizičnem svetu je veliko radosti, ko se duša osvobodi svoje negativnosti in se kakovost njene zavesti pomakne navzgor v višje frekvence Luči. Zato ne trpite v samoti. Saj je sploh ni.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul

Nicholas NicklebyBookQuoters 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.
