“And don't tell me the end justifies the means because it doesn't. We never reach the end. All we ever get is means. That's what we live with.”
― Nick Harkaway, quote from Angelmaker
“Hay una materia pensante de la cual todas las cosas están hechas y la cual, en su estado original, impregna, penetra y llena los inter espacios del universo. En esta sustancia, un pensamiento produce la cosa imaginada por el pensamiento. Una persona puede formar cosas en su pensamiento y, al grabar su pensamiento en la sustancia sin formar, puede causar que aquello en lo que ha pensado sea creado. Para hacer esto, una persona debe pasar de la mente competitiva a la mente creativa; debe formarse una imagen mental de las cosas que quiere y mantener esta imagen en sus pensamientos con el firme PROPÓSITO de obtener lo que quiere y la FE inquebrantable de que obtendrá lo que quiere, cerrando su mente contra todo lo que pueda tender a quebrantar su propósito, nublar su visión o extinguir su fe. Así que para que pueda recibir lo que quiera cuando venga, una persona debe actuar AHORA sobre la gente y las cosas en su ambiente actual.”
― Wallace D. Wattles, quote from The Science of Getting Rich
“No more game playing. It's time we call this fight what it is: a war.”
― Katie McGarry, quote from Take Me On
“And father said "I never wanted this. I'm sick of everyone pretending to be old Dan Beavers in his L. L. Bean moccasins, and his Dubbelwares, and his Japanese bucksaw -- all these fake frontiersmen with their chuck wagons full of Twinkies and Wonderbread and aerosol cheese spread. Get out the Duraflame log and the plastic cracker barrel, Dan, and let's talk self-sufficiency!”
― Paul Theroux, quote from The Mosquito Coast
“Can one come 2 conclusions,
Before the question is conceived?”
― Tupac Shakur, quote from The Rose That Grew from Concrete
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.
