“زندگی میں انسان کو ایک عادت ضرور سیکھ لینی چاہیے جو چیز ہاتھ سے نکل جائے اسے بھول جانے کی عادت. یہ عادت بہت سی تکلیفوں سے بچا دیتی ہے.”
― Umera Ahmed, quote from امربیل (Amar Bail)
“کسی چیز کو صرف میری محبت میرے پاس نہیں لا سکتی.”
― Umera Ahmed, quote from امربیل (Amar Bail)
“زندگی میں ایک چیز ہوتی ہے جسے کمرامائز کہتے ہیں. پرسکون زندگی گزارنے کے لئیے اسکی ضرورت پڑتی ہے.جس چیز کو تم بدل نہ سکو اسکے ساتھ کمپرومائز کر لیا کرو مگر اپنی کسی بھی خواہش کو جنون مت بنایا کرو. زندگی میں کچھ چیزیں اسي ہیں جو ہمیں نہیں مل سکتيں. چاہے ہم روۓ چلائيں یا بچوں کی طرح ایڑیاں رگڑیں کیونکے وہ کھخ دوسرے کے لیے ہوتی ہیں جیسے تمہارے پیرنٹس کسی اور کے پیرنٹس ہیں. تمہارا گھر کس اور کا گھر ہے مگر اسکا یہ مطلب نہیں کہ ہوتا کہ زندگی میں ہمارے لیے کچھ ہوتا ہی نہیں. کچہ نا کچھ ہمارے لیے بھی ہوتا ہے.”
― Umera Ahmed, quote from امربیل (Amar Bail)
“ہمارے پیچھے کیا تھا ہم بھلانا چاہتے ہیں ہمارے آگے کیا ہے ہمارے لیے ڈھونڈنا مشکل ہے. مگر کہیں نا کہیں کچھ نا کچھ تو ہمارے لیے بھی ہے.”

“ہم سب ایک rotten system کی پیداوار ہیں اور اسی میں رہ رہے ہیں. دوسروں پر انگلی اٹھانے سے پہلے اپنا گریبان اور دامن دیکھنا بہت ضروری ہے. اپنے کپڑوں پر دھبے لے کر دوسروں کے داغ دکھانا حماقت کے علاوہ اور کچھ نہیں ہے. اور تم یہی کرنے کی کوشیش کن رہی ہو." علیزہ خاموش ہو گئ.”

“One of the sources of success is our ability to change. It is our ability to recognize when it matters and take active steps to adjust, to move our own cheese.

― Ellen Hopkins, quote from Rumble
“Minutes passed, each pulling my hopes down a little lower from the heights to which they had soared, and then, when tension on my nerves and the weight of the heavy rifle were becoming unbearable, I heard a stick snap at the upper end of the thicket. Here was an example of how a tiger can move through the jungle. From the sound she had made I knew her exact position, had kept my eyes fixed on the spot, and yet she had come, seen me, stayed some time watching me, and then gone away without my having seen a leaf or a blade of grass move.”
― Jim Corbett, quote from Man-Eaters of Kumaon
“Hestitation is a dangerous thing. It hints that something is hiding when you take that pause.”

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.
