― Enid Blyton, quote from Five on a Treasure Island
“Emily,” he says. “Be careful, okay? This isn’t California.”
“O-kaaaay,” I say, smiling. “I promise.”
“Good,” says Teague. Then he takes off, springing like a leapfrog from rock to rock until he’s standing in the middle of the river, where he pauses momentarily on top of a large boulder and cups his hands over his mouth. “Come on!” he shouts back.
Now, normally--
Normally I would think twice about this bold little acrobatic adventure. Normally a thousand reasons why I should err on the side of caution would flood my mind--
Do not break your wrist.
Do not get your clothes wet.
Do not fall desperately in love when you know you’ll be leaving!
But ever since I’ve been in Alaska, I’m surprising myself. And this time--
This time is no exception.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace
“Guarding knowledge is not a good way to understand. Understanding means to throw away your knowledge.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, quote from Being Peace
“Доброе утро! — сказал я. — Я одинокий беглец, родившийся под совершенно особенным расположением звёзд.”
― Tove Jansson, quote from Moominpappa's Memoirs
“Sciences are differentiated according to the various means through which knowledge is obtained. For the astronomer and the physicist both may prove the same conclusion: that the earth, for instance, is round: the astronomer by means of mathematics (i.e. abstracting from matter), but the physicist by means of matter itself. Hence there is no reason why those things which may be learned from philosophical science, so far as they can be known by natural reason, may not also be taught us by another science so far as they fall within revelation. Hence theology included in sacred doctrine differs in kind from that theology which is part of philosophy. SECOND ARTICLE [I, Q.”
― Thomas Aquinas, quote from Summa Theologica, 5 Vols
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.
