“Mira, no voy a señalar con el dedo a ningún país, ninguna religión ni partido político. Esto es un fallo en todas las especies. Nosotros, la raza humana, hemos cometido un pecado terrible e imperdonable. Y antes de que nos avergüences a ambos preguntando… no, no estoy teniendo un momento católico. Esto es mucho más fundamental que la Iglesia o el Estado. Esto es algo propio porque lo conocemos mejor. Como especie, lo conocemos mejor. Entendemos lo que está bien y lo que está mal, igual que podemos captar todos los tonos de gris. Hemos tenido miles de años de líderes religiosos, filósofos, pensadores libres y científicos políticos que han explicado la causa y el efecto del comportamiento destructivo. Uno podría pensar que, a estas alturas, en el momento en que estamos, con todos estos avances tecnológicos y ahora que la comunicación entre todas las razas no solo es posible, sino instantánea a nivel mundial, que habríamos aprendido algo, que nos habríamos beneficiado de los errores cometidos anteriormente. Uno podría pensar que nuestro criterio ha evolucionado y que somos más sagaces. Pero no es así. Con la simulación por ordenador prácticamente podemos ver el futuro y ver cómo será todo si seguimos estos caminos y, aun así, no hacemos nada para cambiar de dirección. Quizá el verdadero defecto humano sea nuestra incapacidad para actuar como si la próxima generación importase. Nunca lo hemos hecho. Quizá de manera individual sí, pero no como una nación, como una especie.”
― Jonathan Maberry, quote from Patient Zero


“He was going to kill her for this. He’d fuck her first. But then he was going to kill her.”
― Suzanne Wright, quote from From Rags

About BookQuoters

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.
