“Mallkimi i njerëzimit është se ekzistenca jonë në këtë botë nuk duron asnjë hierarki të përcaktuar dhe të qëndrueshme, se gjithçka rrjedh, trazohet, derdhet, lëviz dhe se secili nga ne do të çmohet dhe vlerësohet nga çdokush tjetër, dhe se përceptimi që kanë për ne injorantët, të pagdhëndurit dhe kokëtrashët, nuk është më pak i vlefshëm nga përceptimi që kanë për ne njerëzit e mprehtë. të diturit dhe ndjeshmit. Kjo pasi njeriu ka varësinë më të thellë nga pasqyrimi i tij në shpirtin e dikujt tjetër, qoftë ky dhe shpirt budalla.”
― Witold Gombrowicz, quote from Ferdydurke
“It’s hard not to be impatient with the absurdity of the young; they tell us that two and two make four as though it had never occurred to us, and they’re disappointed if we can’t share their surprise when they have discovered that a hen lays an egg. There’s a lot of nonsense in their ranting and raving, but it’s not all nonsense. One ought to sympathize with them; one ought to do one’s best to understand. One has to remember how much has to be forgotten and how much has to be learnt when for the first time one faces life. It’s not very easy to give up one’s ideals, and the brute facts of every day are bitter pills to swallow. The spiritual conflicts of adolescence can be very severe and one can do little to resolve them.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, quote from Theatre
“it seems Montgomery could not help himself when it came to this vase. I'm afraid he has a weakness for beautiful things and has been known to relocate an item if he feels it is not being accorded the proper appreciation. Once he 'relocated' an ancient sculpture from the home of another archangel.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Archangel's Consort
“I’m not spectral, but I’ve been told I can be pretty damn phenomenal.”

“You’re not suggesting we do it in this tiny closet with two men watching television in the next room, are you?” “It’d be limiting,” Ranger said, “but at least you wouldn’t have your ass on the horn.”

The Journey to the W...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.
