“What is a writer of fiction but a liar with a licence?”
― Joanne Harris, quote from Blueeyedboy
“Fiction is a tower of glass built from a million tiny truths, grains of sand fused together to make a single, gleaming lie.”
― Joanne Harris, quote from Blueeyedboy
“That's Catholicism for you. A perpetual war between repression and excess.”

― Joanne Harris, quote from Blueeyedboy
“Bola raz žena, vdova s tromi synmi, volali sa Čierny, Hnedý a Modrý. Čierny bol najstarší, výbušný a agresívny. Hnedý bol prostredné dieťa, tiché a nevýrazné. Modrého mala matka najradšej. A Modrý bol vrah.”
― Joanne Harris, quote from Blueeyedboy
“A história de toda a gente começa a meio da de outra pessoa, com meadas confusas de narrativa à espera de serem desenroladas. E de quem é esta história afinal?”

“Vraj má človek len jeden život. Na internete zistíte, že to nie je pravda. Zadajte si do Googlu svoje meno a uvidíte, koľkí ďalší ho nosia. Sú to ľudia, ktorými by sme mohli byť: úbožiak, športovec, takmer slávny herec, odsúdenec čakajúci na smrť, slávny kuchár, osoba s rovnakým dátumom narodenia ako vy... tiene toho, čo mohlo byť, keby bolo všetko trochu inak.”
― Joanne Harris, quote from Blueeyedboy
“2 :
...
أنت تفكر و تفكر
عشرة آلاف فكرة
.. و لكن و لا فكرة واحدة
سوف تعطيك
ماتسعى اليه حقا
تجلس في صمت
لتعثر على الصمت
.. و لكن الصمت لا يأتي ابدا.
***
روحك تغني دائما
أغنية إلهية
***
كل متاعبك
و كل همومك
لن تتلاشى ابدا
حتى و لو امتلكت
كل كنوز العالم
و رغم كل الحيل الذكية
التى تستخدمها
.. الحيل التي لا تعد و لا تحصى
لن يبقى معك
و لا حتى شخص واحد ...
كيف يمكننا أن نجد
بيت الحقيقة ؟
كيف يمكننا أن نكسر
هذا الجدار من الأكاذيب ؟
: سلم نفسك
و سر في طريق إرادة
(الروح)
آوه ناناك :
إنه المكتوب ،
و يجب أن نطيع ، و نسير في طريق إرادتها”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“Vampires bore a grudge longer than any technically living creatures, and whenever they were in a bad temper, they expressed themselves through murder.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale
“The thing with love is, you cannot choose who you fall for. Falling in love often happens at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with the wrong person. Just as much as you cannot stop growing feelings for a certain man, there's no switch to turn off your heart.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Surrender Your Love
“Once she tells me she wants me here I know this is where I will stay.” ~ Riley”
― T.H. Snyder, quote from Touch Me
“How would I behave in a situation that caused me to summon the essence of my character? The tragedy inspired me to test myself. I wanted to reveal to myself who I was: the kind of person who died, or the kind of person who overcame circumstances to help himself and others”
― Aron Ralston, quote from Between a Rock and a Hard Place
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.
