“El romance hablaba de cierto brujo y cierta poetisa. De cómo el brujo y la poetisa se conocieron a la orilla del mar, entre los chillidos de las gaviotas; cómo se enamoraron desde el primer momento. De cuán hermoso y fuerte era su amor. De que nada, ni siquiera la muerte, sería capaz de destruir aquel amor ni de separarlos. Jaskier sabía que pocas personas creerían la historia que contaba el romance, pero no se preocupó por ello. Sabía que los romances no se escriben para que se crea en ellos, sino para emocionar. Algunos años después, Jaskier podría haber cambiado el contenido del romance, haber escrito sobre lo que sucedió en realidad. No lo hizo. La verdadera historia no hubiera emocionado a nadie. ¿Quién querría escuchar que el brujo y Ojazos se separaron y no se volvieron a ver nunca más, ni una sola vez? ¿Que cuatro años más tarde Ojazos murió de viruela durante una epidemia que asoló Wyzima? ¿Que él, Jaskier, la sacó en sus brazos de entre los cadáveres quemados en las hogueras y la enterró lejos de la ciudad, en el bosque, sola y tranquila, y junto con ella, tal y como había pedido, dos cosas: su laúd y su perla celeste? Una perla de la que nunca se separó.”

“Jane wondered...When the girl was not cleaning her suite, which wouldn't take much time, and when she was not making her meals, and when she was not exercising, and when she was not being owned by some visitor, how often did she sit staring into space, alone and silent and still, as if she were a doll abandoned by a child who had moved on from childish things and no longer loved her?”
― Dean Koontz, quote from The Silent Corner
“I couldn't stop thinking about him. He was an attractive nuisance, a shiny object.”

Play of PassionBookQuoters 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.
