“To love women. To pleasure them, to make them laugh. To be foolish for them. To protect them. To respect them. To listen to them. They are life-givers. To live is to love them.”
― Pete Hamill, quote from Forever
“...Gold is gold everywhere, fungible and indifferent. But when a disk of gold is stamped by a coiner with certain pompous words and the picture of a King, it takes on added value -- seigneurage. It has that value only in that people believe that it does -- it is a shared phant'sy.”
― Neal Stephenson, quote from The Confusion
“Он не раз в продолжение этих трех месяцев спрашивал себя: "Я ли сумасшедший, что вижу то, чего другие не видят, или сумасшедшие те, которые производят то, что я вижу?" Но люди (и их было так много) производили то, что его так удивляло и ужасало, с такой спокойной уверенностью в том, что это не только так надо, но что то, что они делают, очень важное и полезное дело, -- что трудно было признать всех этих людей сумасшедшими; себя же сумасшедшим он не мог признать, потому что сознавал ясность своей мысли. И потому постоянно находился в недоумении.”
― Leo Tolstoy, quote from Resurrection
“Most people don't seem to appreciate a person as honest as me. So don't ask me how George Washington ever got to be president.”

The Coldest Winter E...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.
