“Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, they contain pure truths, before we cluttered our languages with so many useless words.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess
“— Господин началник, виждам, че сте с топли дрехи, а в писмата си брат ми пише, че още не е обличал даже жилетката си.
— Да, аз съм с четири кимона. А на младите какво им е? Щом застудее, веднага за ракията се залавят. Затова организмът им отслабва, разболяват се и се търкалят ей там… — Човекът замахна неопределено с фенера по посока на бараките.
— А брат ми? Нима и той е започнал да пие?
— А не. Той не.”
― Yasunari Kawabata, quote from Snow Country
“As I pulled into the parking lot, I reflected that odds were that not a lot of clandestine meetings involving mystical assassination, theft of arcane power, and the balance of power in the realms of the supernatural had taken place in a Wal-Mart Super Center. But then again, maybe they had. Hell, for all I knew, the Mole Men used the changing rooms as a place to discuss plans for world domination with the Psychic Jellyfish from Planet X and the Disembodied Brains-in-a-Jar from the Klaatuu Nebula. I know I wouldn't have looked for them there.”
― Jim Butcher, quote from Summer Knight
“The room was a machine that measured my condition: how much of me remained, how much of me was no longer there. I was both perpetrator and witness, both actor and audience in a theater of one. I could follow the progress of my own dismemberment. Piece by piece, I could watch myself dissapear.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Moon Palace
“She seemed like the type of woman who'd help you forget about your headache by setting your bed on fire.”

The World of Yesterd...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.
