"Yes?"

“He knew he was going to die but he thought this little thing might provide him with a nothing stool way off in the corner of heaven reserved for fools, people too stupid to come out of the rain. People got to that corner by heaven's back door.”

“It's a funny thing, character, the way it brands people as they age, rising from within to leave its scar.”
― Kate Morton, quote from The Distant Hours
“It argued a special genius; he was clearly a case of that. The spark of fire, the point of light, sat somewhere in his inward vagueness as a lamp before a shrine twinkles in the dark perspective of a church; and while youth and early middle-age, while the stiff American breeze of example and opportunity were blowing upon it hard, had made the chamber of his brain a strange workshop of fortune. This establishment, mysterious and almost anonymous, the windows of which, at hours of highest pressure, never seemed, for starers and wonderers, perceptibly to glow, must in fact have been during certain years the scene of an unprecedented, a miraculous white-heat, the receipt for producing which it was practically felt that the master of the forge could not have communicated even with the best intentions.”
― Henry James, quote from The Golden Bowl
“I am black,” she said, and a shudder rippled through me. “I am foul with a
thousand years of demon curses. Don’t cross me or I will bring you and your house down. Rachel is the only clean thing I have, and you won’t sully her to
further your high ideas.”
― Kim Harrison, quote from For a Few Demons More
“كلما ازداد اقتراب
الإنسان من الأشياء وانضمامه إليها، كلما فقد القدرة على رؤيتها بوضوح، حتى
إذا ما التصق بها عجز عن رؤيتها لأن اتحاده بها يفقده شروط الرؤية الصحيحة
من موضوعية وتجرد وصفاء ذهن
تماماً كما يعجز الإنسان عن رؤية وجهه حينما
يقترب من المرآة حتى يلتصق بها..أو عن رؤية عيوب من يحب لذا فالرحيل
ضروري باستمرار”

The Post-Birthday Wo...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.
