“This is the most complicated relationship since Romeo and Juliet," she complained. "You're
both hopeless. I mean, what is the big problem? You love him. He adores you. You get together and live happily ever after. Any
questions? No, of course not. That'll be ten dollars, thank you.”

“Truth, they say, is a cold and bitter draught; few drink it undiluted.”
― Stephen R. Lawhead, quote from Byzantium
“في نمط الكينونة لا يكون التملك الخاص او الملكية الخاصة إلا أهمية وجدانية ضئيلة, حيث لا تنشأ الحاجة لامتلاك شيء لكي أستمتع به, او حتى لكي استعمله واستفيد منه, ففي نمط الكينونة يمكن لأكثر من شخص وفي الحقيقة يمكن لملايين الناس ان يشتركوا في الاستمتاع بالشيء نفسه, حيث لا توجد حاجة, كما لا يرغب أحد في امتلاكه كشرط للاستمتاع به, ولا يعني هذا منع وقوع صراغ فحسب, وانما يعني ايضا خلق اسمى شكل من اشكال السعادة الانسانية الا وهو المتعة المشتركة فليس أقدر على توجيد البشر دون النيل من ذاتيتهم من المشاركة في الاعجاب بشخص او محبته,او المشاركة في الاقتناع بفكرة, او في الطرب لاغنية او لقطعة موسيقية, او الاعجاب بصورة او رمز, او المشاركة في أداء الشعائر, او الاحساس المشترك بالأسى والحزن. إن متعة المشاركة هي التي تحتفظ بالحيوية في العلاقات بين اثنين وهي الأساس الذي قامت عليه كل الديانات وجميع الحركات السياسية والفلسفية الكبرى.”
― Erich Fromm, quote from To Have or to Be? The Nature of the Psyche
“As long as you're dreaming, there's always a way out.”

“His English was exceptional. There was a glottal sound in his voice, but it was not harsh. I'd often asked him to help me with my sparse Arabic, trying to get my pronunciation of this or that word right. "Shukran." "Afwan." "Qumbula." Thank you. You're welcome. Bomb.”

The Oracle GlassBookQuoters 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.
