“For the survivors, the disaster of the Indy is their My Lai massacre or Watergate, a touchstone moment of historic disappointment: the navy put them in harm's way, hundreds of men died violently, and then the government refused to acknowledge its culpability.
What's amazing, however, is that these men, unlike contemporary generations who've been disappointed by bad government, are not bitter. Somehow, a majority brushed aside their feelings of rancor and went on to help build the booming postwar American economy of the fifties.”

“— De ce să nu avem dreptul să criticăm, să-i
considerăm pe unii tîmpiţi şi săraci cu duhul, sub pretext
că am părea acri şi geloşi? T oată lumea se comportă ca şi
cum am fi cu toţii egali, ca şi cum am fi cu toţii bogaţi,
educaţi, puternici, albi, tineri, masculi, fericiţi, sănătoşi, cu
o maşină mare... Dar asta nu e adevărat. Aşadar, am
dreptul să fac scandal, să fiu prost dispusă, să nu zîmbesc
fericită tot timpul, să-mi dau părerea cînd văd lucruri
anormale şi nedrepte, şi chiar să insult oamenii. E dreptul
meu să protestez.”

The EndBookQuoters 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.
