“The author points to the impact of what he called Dutch disease, where the discovery of found wealth from a particular commodity causes a culture to atrophy with respect to work ethic and broader development. Continuing wealth from the single commodity is taken for granted. The government, flush with wealth, is expected to be generous. When the price of that commodity drops, a government which would remain in power dare not cut back on this generosity.”
― Daniel Yergin, quote from The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power
“Trong giọng hát của Phương như đều đều hơi thở tâm hồn của một lớp thanh niên được sinh ra ở đời chỉ cốt dành cho cuộc chiến tranh bắt đầu từ ngày hôm ấy. Trên khuôn mặt nghiêm nghị của một trong ba người linh nước mắt nặng nề ứa ra dưới cặp lông mày nhíu lại. Chiến tranh! Chiến tranh! ấy chính là tiếng gầm của biển trong suốt đêm bốn rạng mồng năm tháng tám. Bãi cát dài hình vòng cung ầm ầm sóng xô. Đột ngột hai đốm lửa bay chéo ra từ cùng một điểm trên trời tách thành hai làn chớp biếc vụt sa xuống. Những người ngủ trong bãi cát và ngủ trong lều vải đã thức cả dậy tới quây quần bên đống lửa đã lụi. Tất cả đều im lặng. dường như cùng nín thở.”
― Bảo Ninh, quote from The Sorrow of War: A Novel of North Vietnam
“Lad, it's one thing to be poor in pocket - nothing wrong with that. But poor in heart - that's no good.”

― Karina Halle, quote from Sins & Needles
“How lovely to work at something you loved and knew you were great at, even if it was for a pittance and you occasionally got punched.”

AutoboyographyBookQuoters 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.
