“Ancora una volta, non si era rivelata all'altezza. Non era risultata abbastanza sveglia, abbastanza carina o abbastanza speciale perchè un uomo potesse amarla”
― Susan Elizabeth Phillips, quote from This Heart of Mine
“if we meet each other in the street, glance away and look back, we might look the same, feel the same, think the same, but the subatomic particles, the smallest parts of us that make every other part, will have rushed away, been replaced at impossible speed. We will be completely different people. Everything changes all the time.”
― Nathan Filer, quote from The Shock of the Fall
“أنهم يقتلون ألوف الناس بهدوء دون رحمة او تأنيب ضمير، لا بل في فرح ورضى! إن ما يدفعهم إلى اضطهاد الناس حتى الموت هو الاحتفاظ بفضتهم وذهبهم وارواقهم المالية الحقيرة وكل ذلك المتاع البائس الذي يمكنهم به الاحتفاظ بالسلطة على الناس.”
― Maxim Gorky, quote from Mother
“Maybe I should drive,” Troy said. “She knows what she’s doing,” Mad Rogan said. I sniffed. “What?” “The fragrance of a genuine compliment from Mad Rogan. So rare and sweet.”

“Fine,’ she said, using the universal Scottish word for every state of being from ‘I’m dying in anguish’ to ‘I’m experiencing euphoric joy.’ ‘Fine,’ she said. ‘I’m fine.”

The Ruins of GorlanBookQuoters 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.
