“هر شهری سرانجام به پایان می‌رسد و جاده‌ای تهی آغاز میشود که پیمودن آن ایمان می‌طلبد”
― E.L. Doctorow, quote from Billy Bathgate
“The story was clearly over, as in juggling when the ball you throw up finds the moment to come down, hesitates as if it might not, and then drops at the same speed of that celestial light. And life is no longer good but just what you happen to be holding.”
― E.L. Doctorow, quote from Billy Bathgate
“And now I will tell of the revels that went on for three nights and two days in the brothel on West Seventy-sixth Street between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues.”
― E.L. Doctorow, quote from Billy Bathgate
“When crime was working as it was supposed to it was very dull. Very lucrative and very dull.”
― E.L. Doctorow, quote from Billy Bathgate
“... دیدم که اشتباه فکری چه عواقبی ممکن است داشته باشد و خاطرجمعی بیجا چقدر خطرناک است و اطمینانی که از ندیدن واقعیت ناشی میشود مرگ آور است.”
― E.L. Doctorow, quote from Billy Bathgate
“How I admired the life of taking pains, of living in defiance of a government that did not like you and did not want you and wanted to destroy you so that you had to build out protections for yourself with money and men, deploying armament, buying alliances, patrolling borders, as in a state of secession, by your will and wit and warrior spirit living smack in the eye of the monster, his very eye. But”

Slaves of SocorroBookQuoters 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.
