“For now, I just want things all safe and familiar. My life may not be perfect, but it is what I have known.”
― Ann M. Martin, quote from A Corner of the Universe

“Sometimes you have to leave yourself to the mercy of someone else. Not because you are weak or less powerful, but just because nature wants it that way.
The earth revolves around the sun; even its ego can’t change that as it’s the very basis of its survival. I had left myself to the mercy of God, believing He would help keep me going and still continue to be around.”
― Shikha Kaul, quote from Hidden Husband

“Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 7And he arose and departed to his house.”
― quote from Holy Bible, New King James Version

“God loves us, after all; He manifests it in cancer, cholera, Siamese twins. Not all forms of love are comprehensible, and some forms of love destroy what they touch”
― Hilary Mantel, quote from Fludd

“El poder de la autenticidad El regalo más importante que podemos hacernos a nosotros mismos es el compromiso de vivir nuestra auténtica vida. Ser sinceros con nosotros mismos, no obstante, no es una tarea fácil. Debemos romper con aquello con lo que la sociedad intenta seducirnos y vivir la vida según nuestros principios, con nuestros propios valores y en consonancia con nuestros sueños primigenios. Debemos despertar a ese yo oculto; explorar los anhelos más profundos, más invisibles, las habilidades y debilidades que nos hacen ser quienes somos. Debemos entender dónde hemos estado y adónde vamos. Cada decisión que tomemos, cada paso que demos, debe estar investido de ese compromiso de vivir la vida siendo sinceros y coherentes con nuestro yo auténtico y solo con ese yo. Y, a medida que avancemos, tendremos la certeza de experimentar una fortuna que irá más allá de cualquier riqueza jamás imaginada.”
― Robin S. Sharma, quote from The Secret Letters of the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

About BookQuoters

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.
