“Maybe I should be a lawyer instead of a magical baker, Rose thought. Lawyers' mistakes rarely result in old men climbing on top of towers and taking off their pants.

“Dia tidak pernah takut pada laba-laba, sepeda yang kotor, atau jemarinya terkena panas oven--dan dia sering mengalami semua itu. Namun, berjalan ke ruangan yang sama dengan pria yang ditaksirnya? Itu menakutkan.”
― quote from Bliss
“Bernard Bastable!” Miss Thistle shouted, finally. “I love you too! I want to make you my frog prince! Never in all my years have I seen a man with such magnificent, froglike charisma! You are a treasure! Kiss me now!”

“Let us waste no further time looking for the secret of success or the key to happiness. Already the door is open and whosoever will may enter.”
― quote from The Science of Mind
“Then answer me this...how can you know the good without the understanding of evil? How can you know happiness without experiencing the misery, pleasure without the pain? These things are essential parts of life that need to be faced and endured.”
― quote from Afterlife
“The best part about life is you don't know the outcome.”
― T.S. Krupa, quote from Safe & Sound
“Se meu leito é triste cama de dormir, apenas, sem outra serventia, que importa? Tudo no mundo tem compensações. Nada melhor do que viver tranqüila, sem sonhos, sem desejos, sem se consumir em labaredas com o ventre aceso em fogo. Vida melhor não pode haver que a de viúva séria e recatada, vida pacata, liberta da ambição e do desejo. Mas, e se não for meu leito cama de dormir e, sim, deserto a atravessar, escaldante areia do desejo sem porta de saída?”
― Jorge Amado, quote from Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands
“economics is a living thing—and to live implies both imperfection and change.”
― Ludwig von Mises, quote from Human Action: A Treatise on Economics

In the Cities of Coi...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.
