“Believe nothing others tell you. That is Rule No 1 of life in Astro City.
But what if the ones who set the rules are the ones lying to you?
What if the ones who reprimand the rule-breakers are lying to you?
Who do you believe when there is nobody left to believe?”
― Lisa Alfonso, quote from Believe (Rules, #1)
“We're going to die eventually" I protest. "I'd rather die from trying to live than not live at all.”

“Lenin dice que el análisis concreto de la situación concreta es «lo más esencial del marxismo, el alma viva del marxismo». Muchos de nuestros camaradas, poco acostumbrados a pensar en forma analítica, no quieren analizar y estudiar repetida y profundamente las cosas complejas, sino que prefieren formular conclusiones simplistas que son absolutamente afirmativas o absolutamente negativas. (…) Desde ahora, debemos remediar este estado de cosas.”
― Mao Zedong, quote from Quotations from Chairman Mao Tsetung
“Un sorriso
su una collana di perle;
una fila di chicchi di grandine,
ghirlanda di garofani bianchi.
Ricciolo arruffato di capelli
quale un fiume di notte;
bellezza che rallegra il cuore, così perfetta
che vedendola l'alba impallidisce di gelosia.”
― quote from The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1001 Nights, Volume 1
“Are you even listening to yourself right now? You sound like you’re from the nineteen hundreds, not the two thousands." I pointed at the bed. "That thing has been laid straight more times than should be possible, but she managed it somehow; since she could sink the Titanic between her thighs, and still have room. Not to mention that they have this marvelous invention called a condom, and thank fucking Christ for that, since it prevents that troll from touching my baby making treasure.”
― Katelin LaMontagne, quote from Surge
“There's a Palestine that dwells inside all of us, a Palestine that needs to be rescued: a free Palestine where all people regardless of color, religion, or race coexist; a Palestine where the meaning of the word "occupation" is only restricted to what the dictionary says rather than those plenty of meanings and connotations of death, destruction, pain, suffering, deprivation, isolation and restrictions that Israel has injected the word with.”
― Refaat Alareer, quote from Gaza Writes Back (#1)
“I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor eprincipalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Remember When
Dinner at the Homesi...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.
