“That it doesn't matter why I ran," he said, staring at me without blinking, "because I came back. I'll always come back, Luce. No matter how many rip-roaring fights we have and no matter how many miscommunications we have. I'll always come back because you're where I belong.”

“Hui esa noche porque tenía miedo, y el hecho de que me escape cuando más me necesitabas me aterrorizo aun más y eso es en lo que he estado pensando sin parar, todo el día, cada día desde el sábado en la noche y, ¿quierés saber lo que ocurrió? —me pregunto apoyando su frente contra la mía. Con está distancia sus ojos eran todo mi campo de visión. —¿Qué? —dije, casi besándolo porque nuestros labios estaban muy cerca. —Qué no importa por lo que huya —dijo, mirándome sin pestañear—, porque regresare, siempre regresare. No importa cuántas peleas escándalozas tengamos y no importa cuántos errores de comunicación tengamos, siempre regresare, porque te pertenezco.”

“Everyone too busy trying to survive to spend any time creating something new.”
― quote from Leviathan Wakes
“وأيُّ وَالدٍ لا يَشُقُّ عليه فراقُ ابنتِه حتَّى ولو كَانت ذَاهبةً إلى بَيتِ جَارِه أو إلى قَصرِ مَلكٍ؟ أيُّ رجُلٍ لا تَرتَعشُ أعمَاقُ نفسِه بِالغَصَّاتِ عِندَما يَفصِلُه نَاموسُ الطَبيعةِ عن الابنةِ التي لاعَبَها طِفلةً وهذَّبَها صَبِيَّةً ورَافَقَها امرَأة؟ إنَّ كآبةَ الوالدَيْن لزوَاجِ الابنةِ يُضارعُ فرحَهُما بِزوَاجِ الابن، لأنَّ هَذَا ُيكسِبُ العَائلةَ عُضوًا جَديدًا، أمَّا ذَاك فيَسلُبُها عُضوًا قَدِيمًا عَزيزًا.”
― Kahlil Gibran, quote from The Broken Wings

“Memory could be a terrible thing .. an instrument of torture that persists in its work long after a man has suffered his time upon the rack.”
― Leila Meacham, quote from Roses
“In a recluse, the most irrevocable, lifelong rejection of the world often has as its basis an uncontrolled passion for the crowd, of such force that, finding when he does go out that he cannot win the admiration of a concierge, passers-by or even the coachman halted at the corner, he prefers to spend his life out of their sight, and gives up all activities which would make it necessary for him to leave the house.”
― Marcel Proust, quote from In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

The Writing LifeBookQuoters 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.
