“The most dreadful part of all," the old stag answered, "is that the dogs believe what the hound just said. They believe it, they pass their lives in fear, they hate Him and themselves and yet they'd die for His sake.”
― Felix Salten, quote from Bambi
“Marena looked at all of them out of her big, calm, shining eyes. "Love is no nonsense," she said. "It has to come.”
― Felix Salten, quote from Bambi
“What do you want? What do you know about it? What are you talking about? Everything belongs to Him, just as I do. But I, I love Him. I worship Him, I serve Him. Do you think you can oppose Him, poor creatures like you? He's all-powerful. He's above all of you. Everything we have comes from Him. Everything that lives or grows comes from Him.”
― Felix Salten, quote from Bambi
“They fluttered and rustled ceaselessly through the air from all the tree-tops and branches. A delicate silvery sound was falling constantly to earth. It was wonderful to awaken amidst it, wonderful to fall asleep to this mysterious and melancholy whispering.”

“In the arc of an unremarkable life, a life whose triumphs are small and personal, whose trials are ordinary enough, as tempered in their pain as in their resolution of pain, the claim of exclusivity in love requires both a certain kind of courage and a good dose of delusion.”
― Alice McDermott, quote from Charming Billy
“Una estrategia de ganador Por ejemplo, tengo un amigo que usa su propia estrategia sencilla de riesgo-recompensa para hacer transacciones diarias en la bolsa. Sabe que las posibilidades indican que encontrará un movimiento del mercado en uno de cada 20 tratos. Por eso, establece lo que llama una estrategia de administración del dinero. Si tiene 20 mil dólares para meterlos en la bolsa, lo cual es la décima parte de los 200 mil dólares de efectivo total que tiene, sólo arriesga mil dólares en cada transacción. En otras palabras, su estrategia es tener siempre suficiente dinero para perder 19 de cada 20 veces. Lo he visto perder 14 mil dólares en 14 transacciones seguidas y”

“طی این ماه دراز که به اندیشیدن گذراندم،هر احساسی را شناختم،درد و لذت،غم و شادی،ایمان و نارضایی و نا امیدی...خداوندا!چه تن نحیفی برای آزمون برگزیدی!همچنان که احساسی جای خود را به احساس دیگر می داد مثل تب زده ها به خود می لرزیدم و چشمانم را اشک پر می کرد.سی روز پیاپی برای اندیشیدن به یک اندیشه ی واحد زمان درازی است،برای تعمق درباره ی عمیق ترین گناهان و پشیمانی ها و برای غور در این تصور که همه ی اعمال گذشته یکراست به دوزخ اشاره می کند...من به آن زاهد که تقدسش در چهره اش نوشته شده،به پرنده ای که در آسمانش و بهشتش پرواز می کند،به ماهی در اقیانوسش،حسادت می کنم،حتی به جانوری وحشی که در بیشه می خزد حسادت می کنم،چون همه ی آن ها خاطری آسوده دارند.گذشته ای که در گناه سپری شده باشد بار سنگینی است!”
― Camilo José Cela, quote from The Family of Pascual Duarte
“No matter how dark the room gets I can always see. It looks emptier when I put the lights on so I don't do it if I can help it. Brightness disagrees with me: it hurts my eyes, wastes electricity and encourages moths, all sorts of things. I sit in the dark for a number of reasons.”
― Janice Galloway, quote from The Trick is to Keep Breathing
“There's a fine line between being practical and being a candyass, which is a word that my father used to describe someone whom he considered to be the opposite of tough. ... Because I'm very afraid of becoming a candyass, I'll sometimes do things that I know to be impractical just so I don't have to worry about being a candyass.”

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.
