“Abel came to the sad conclusion that he was watching a once-great civilization slide toward the abyss. The masses wanted the state to provide for them in every way, and the politicians who promised the most largesse were the ones who were elected. They in turn gave the people what they wanted, which then placed an ever-increasing burden on the most productive members of society.”
― Vince Flynn, quote from Consent to Kill

“divided Europe. Abel looked back on it all and wondered where he had made his mistake. Was it when he agreed to take the job from Saeed? Was it when he pushed the assassins and threatened to hunt them down? At the time, it seemed like his only option, but looking back on it now, it had been a foolish and emotionally inspired move. He had no idea who they were, and they knew far too much about him. It was clear now what they had decided. He had threatened”

“wife’s death. “I know what you are thinking, my prince, but I do not see how Rapp could have left America and put this together so quickly. Who would he find to be a suicide bomber?” “Maybe he blew himself up?” Rashid asked in a hopeful tone. Tayyib thought about that for a moment and then announced, “I have studied Rapp. The man would never commit suicide unless he had to. He would have simply shot Saeed.” “Then tell me why a fellow Muslim would want to kill Saeed?” “Maybe it wasn’t a Muslim.” Rashid frowned. “There is no such thing as a non-Muslim suicide bomber. Do you see any Jewish suicide bombers? Even the Irish during their war with the British never resorted to suicide bombings. The Japanese are the only other culture to employ the tactic in modern history, and I doubt the Japanese killed Saeed.” “I’ll grant that the timing looks bad, but I”

“It was the kind of conversation you could only hold in whispers.”
― Aimee Bender, quote from The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

“He didn't finish most of the stories he started anymore, couldn't bear to. He felt weak at the thought of reading another story about vampires having sex with other vampires. He tried to struggle through Lovecraft pastiches, but at the first painfully serious reference to the Elder Gods, he felt some important part of him going numb inside, the way a foot or a hand will go to sleep when the circulation is cut off. He feared the part of him being numbed was his soul.”
― Joe Hill, quote from 20th Century Ghosts

“... Cât despre liniile de fugă, ele nu constau niciodată în a fugi de lume, ci, mai degrabă, în a face lumea să fugă, să scape, să plesnească... și nu există sistem social care să nu scape pe la toate capetele sale, chiar dacă segmentele lui nu încetează să se întărească, să devină din ce în ce mai dure pentru a colmata liniile de fugă. Nimic imaginar sau simbolic într-o linie de fugă. Nimic mai activ decât o linie de fugă, la animal și la om. ... În fiecare moment, ce anume scapă, fuge într-o societate? Tocmai pe liniile de fugă se inventează noi arme, pentru a le opune marilor arme de stat... frecvent... un grup, un individ funcționează el însuși ca o linie de fugă; o creează mai curând decât o urmează, este mai curând el însuși arma vie pe care o meșterește decât o ia de la alții. Liniile de fugă sunt realități; și sunt extrem de periculoase pentru societăți, chiar dacă acestea nu pot să se lipsească de ele și uneori chiar le menajează. (Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari)”
― Gilles Deleuze, quote from A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

“„You,” the female on the bed said, her timbre shaded with irrittion. „New guy. Angel Boy. Colonel Curls, or whatever you want to be called. I'm done asking, so now I'm commanding. Free me.”

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.
