3. All power corrupts, but we need electricity.
4. When an irresistible force meets an immovable object, the result is a family fight.
5. Music does not always sooth the troubled beast.

7. The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
8. One black eye deserves another.
9. Space is the final frontier, and so is the sewage farm.

"Never," said Quentin. "My mission in life is to be a passenger.”

“El siglo XX también vio nacer otra gran teoría parcial de la naturaleza: la mecánica cuántica. Esta teoría trata los fenómenos que se producen a escalas muy pequeñas. Nuestra concepción del big bang nos indica que debió de haber un momento en que el universo muy primitivo era tan pequeño que, incluso al estudiar su estructura «a gran escala», no es posible ignorar los efectos de pequeña escala de la mecánica cuántica.
Nuestra mayor esperanza de obtener una comprensión completa del universo desde su principio hasta su final implica combinar estas dos teorías parciales en una sola teoría cuántica de la gravedad. [...] Cuando se combina la relatividad general con el principio de incertidumbre de la mecánica cuántica surge la posibilidad de que tanto el espacio como el tiempo sean finitos, pero sin tener bordes ni fronteras. Y es posible que las leyes ordinarias de la ciencia se cumplan en todos los sitios, incluida la región inicial del tiempo, sin necesidad de que haya en ella singularidad alguna.”
― Stephen Hawking, quote from A Briefer History of Time
“Mosca and Saracen shared, if not a friendship, at least the solidarity of the generally despised. Mosca assumed that Saracen had his reasons for his persecution of terriers and his possessive love of the malthouse roof. In turn, when Mosca had interrupted Saracen’s self-important nightly patrol and scooped him up, Saracen had assumed that she too had her reasons.”

“You want to come to me. You know you have to come to me.Nothing can stop you. It is inevitable,like the tide. There can be no turning back.”

“إن العناق شئ صحي يساعد على تقوية جهاز المناعة، ويقلل من الإحباط و يخفف من الضغط، ويحث على النوم و الإسترخاء.
أنه مقو و منشط، كما أنه يجدد الشباب وليس له أي آثار جانبيه. إن العناق ليس إلا عقارا سحريا.
العناق شيء طبيعي جدا، أنه أساسا ذو حلاوة و عذوبة طبيعية ولا يحتوي على أية مكونات صناعية، ولا أية ملوثات، وهو صديق البيئة لأنه صحي تماما.
العناق هو الهدية المثالية. و هو شيء رائع لتقديمه في أية مناسبة، وهو ممتع في منحه و تلقيه، ويوضح للآخرين مدى اهتمامك بهم، ويعود عليك بمنافع جمة حيث أنه قابل للتبادل.
أن العناق ممتاز بشكل عملي، حيث لا يحتاج إلى مجهودكم، وهو خير ما يقاوم الغرور، وكذلك لا يساعد على زيادة الوزن، ولا يكلف أي نقود شهرية، وهو كذلك ضد السرقة و معفي من الضرائب.
العناق مصدر نافع جدا ذو قوة سحرية. فعندما نفتح قلوبنا وأذرعنا لنعانق الآخرين، فإننا بذلك نشجعهم على أن يفعلوا نفس الشيء.”
― Jack Canfield, quote from Chicken Soup for the Soul

Just Another NumberBookQuoters 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.
