“It’s funny how we always search for reasons not to love—fear of suffering, fear of abandonment—but the love of life, oh, how much you can take for granted until you realize that, one day, you’re going to lose all of it.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“„Vidiš“, reče on sjedajući, „to je čudno, ali pronalazimo svakojake
razloge ne bismo li spriječili sebe da volimo, zato što se plašimo da
ćemo patiti, da ćemo jednog dana biti ostavljeni. Volimo, međutim,
život, iako znamo da će nas on jednog dana napustiti.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“"Nada podrá sustituir nunca el contacto humano”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“Prekasno je samo kada se nešto više ne može promijeniti.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said

života, briše ono što je nezanimljivo i čuva samo ono najljepše i
najuzbudljivije.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said
“Već sam ti rekao da prestaneš da se bojiš riječi. Važno

“I gave up pouring my heart out to his personal assistant a long time ago. Talking to the man himself is damn near impossible. Always on a business trip or in a meeting. No way he’d make time for his daughter.”
― Marc Levy, quote from All Those Things We Never Said

“His games have a deeper meaning and fascination that adults can no longer fathom and require nothing more than three pebbles, or a piece of wood with a dandelion helmet, perhaps; but above all they require only the pure, strong, passionate, chaste, still-untroubled fantasy of those happy years when life still hesitates to touch us, when neither duty nor guilt dares lay a hand upon us, when we are allowed to see, hear, laugh, wonder, and dream without the world's demanding anything in return, when the impatience of those whom we want so much to love has not yet begun to torment us for evidence, some early token, that we will diligently fulfill our duties. Ah, it will not be long, and all that will rain down upon us in overwhelming, raw power, will assault us, stretch us, cramp us, drill us, corrupt us.”
― Thomas Mann, quote from Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family
“you want to understand how to swim, or do you want to jump in and start swimming? Only people who are afraid of the water want to understand it. Other people jump in and get wet.”

“In the real world outside of academics, something more than just grades is
required. I have heard it called "guts," "chutzpah," "balls,"
"audacity," "bravado," "cunning," "daring," "tenacity" and
"brilliance." This factor, whatever it is labeled, ultimately decides
one's future much more than school grades.”

“The light was draining out of the room, going back through the window where it had come from.”

Confessions of a Sho...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.
