“To the punishing study of Egyptian, however, Cleopatra applied herself. She was allegedly the first and only Ptolemy to bother to learn the language of the 7 million people over whom she ruled.”

“النظرية القياسية"
مما يثير اهتمامنا في نهاية هذه النظرية هو أننا نستطيع ان نقول بالضبط كيف كان الكون في نهاية الثانية الأولى . إن اطمئنان الفيزيائي يأتي من أنه يستطيع معالجة هذه المسائل حتى الجانب العددي منها ، وأنه يستطيع أن يذكر لنا درجة حرارة الكون في هذه اللحظة أو تلك ، وكثافته ، ومسلكه الكيماوي ... ليس لدينا يقين مطلق في هذا المجال إلا أنه من المثير حقا أن نعتقد أنا نستطيع الآن أن نتحدث عن هذه القضايا بشيء من الطمأنينة..”

“Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end.”
― Deborah Moggach, quote from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
“Youth is a marvelous garment. How misplaced is the sympathy lavished on adolescents. There is a yet more difficult age which comes later, when one has less to hope for and less ability to change, when one has cast the die and has to settle into a chosen life without the consolations of habit or the wisdom of maturity, when, as in her own case, one ceases to be une jeune fille un peu folle, and becomes merely a woman, worst of all, a wife. The very young have their troubles, but they have at least a part to play, the part of being very young.”

Life of PiBookQuoters 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.
