“When God gave Eve to Adam, he was giving him a helper, not a conscience. Adam already had a conscience before his wife was created.”
― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet
“إذ قفز عقلي كي يدرك أنّنا أيضاً ننظر إلى الزمان والمكان كأمرين مسلّم بهما بالرغم من أنّ الموت يأخذنا إلى ما وراءهما. وفهمت أنّ ما أدعوه بالوجود يعني الوجود في الزمان والمكان وأنّ هذا الكون من زمان ومكان ليس مطلقاً. فجأة أصبح كل شيء عبثياً. إذ للمرة الأولى يعتريني شهور فظيع بالضعف والافتقار إلى الإحساس بالأمان، وأدركت أنّ كل شيء موجود في هذا الكون ومسلّم به قابل للنقاش، وأنّ كل شيء يمكن أن يكون مجرد حيلة. وباعتباري مفكراً، فقد انتابتني العادة الرومانسية بالشعور أنّ العقل يقع خارج حدود مصادفات الجسد وأنّه أبدي وحرّ، وأنّ الجسد ربما يكون تافهاً أو خاصاً. إلا أنّ العقل شامل وعام. إنّ هذا الشعور يجعل العقل مراقباً أبدياً بعيداً عن الخوف. فجأة فكرت فيما لو كان الكون اعباطياً، فإنّ عقلي يصبح قابلاً للتدمير تماماً مثل جسدي. تلك هي النقطة التي يتذكر عندها المرء ساعات المرض والهذيان، عندما يبدو العقل أقل ديمومة من الجسد وعندما يشك المرء في أنّ خشونة الجسد في التي تمنع العقل من التفسّخ.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“Our goals were redundancy and mutual support.”

“No.
You know this is wrong and you want to feel better about it.
You don't want to admit your as ruthless and monstrous as the demons you claim to hate.”

Act Like a Lady, Thi...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.
