“في صمت الليالي المعتمة ملأنا كتابًا بكل هذه الرؤى التي نبعت من خيالاتنا عن الهزيمة و الفشل الذي حلمنا به و نحن حزانى نفتقد للبهجة، أولئك المعوزون برؤوسهم المحنية، و طرقهم الموحلة، و بيوتهم غير مكتملة البناء، و شوراعهم الغريبة المعتمة، الناس الذين يعتقدون أن كل شيء سيعود كما كان و هم يتلون صلواتهم التي لا يفقهون معناها،الأمهات و الآباء الثكلى، البؤساء الذين لم تسمح لهم أعمارهم القصيرة أن يخبرونا عما أنجزوه و حقّقوه في بلاد أخرى، المصانع و الآلات التي لا تعمل، الأرواح ذات العيون المخضلة بالدمع ترثي الأيام الخوالي، الكلاب الضالة التي ليست في هزالها أكثر من جلد على عظم، الفلاحون الذين لا يمتلكون أراض، المتشردون المتسكعون في المدينة، المسلمون الجهلة و الأميون الذين يرتدون سراويلهم و حروبهم كلها تنتهي بالهزيمة.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from The White Castle
“Natural theology, in other words, is in no way a step on the way toward the theology which takes God's self-revelation as its starting point. It is more likely, in fact, to lead in the opposite direction.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, quote from The Gospel in a Pluralist Society
“It was the breeze that made her look up, a change in the texture of the unseen, a change in the texture of her heart. She was ready. Charlotte moved with firm footing around a stand of beech trees and onto a moonbeam path. A pearly, full moon glowed over Red Mountain, burning back the curtains of night.”
― Rachel Hauck, quote from The Wedding Dress
“You’re the kind of girl a guy can fall for,” he said then paused before speaking again. “And you of all people know that love’s not possible for people like you and me.”
― Shannon Dermott, quote from Beg for Mercy
“Books are worse than wine, I say. You read one and you need another - there's no end to it. What ails you that you cannot content yourself with just living on under the sun?”

The Monkey Wrench Ga...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.
