“When it comes to life, all you can change is the equivalent of furniture, paint and windows. Doors, maybe. Change the things that are in too bad a state and hope the core holds.”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, quote from Harbor
“Pišem zato što mi to spontano dolazi! Pišem zato što ne mogu da radim običan posao kao drugi. Pišem da bi se pisale knjige kao što ih ja pišem i da ih čitam. Pišem zato što se strašno ljutim na sve vas, na svakoga. Pišem zato što mi se mnogo dopada da po celi dan sedim i pišem. Pišem zato što mogu da se pomirim sa stvarnošću jedino ako je promenim. Pišem da čitav svet sazna kakav smo život živeli i živimo – ja, drugi, svi mi u Istanbulu, u Turskoj. Pišem zato što volim miris papira, pera, mastila. Pišem zato što više od svega verujem literaturi i umetnosti romana. Pišem zato što je to navika i strast. Pišem zato što se plašim da budem zaboravljen. Pišem zato što mi se sviđa slava i zanimanje koje to donosi. Pišem da bih ostao sâm. Pišem da bih možda razumeo zašto se toliko ljutim na sve vas i svakoga. Pišem zato što mi se sviđa da me čitaju. Pišem da bih najzad završio taj roman, ovaj tekst, tu stranicu koju sam jednom započeo. Pišem zato što to svi od mene očekuju. Pišem zato što detinjasto verujem u večnost biblioteka i to da će mi knjige stajati na policama. Pišem zato što je život, svet, sve oko nas toliko lepo i zadivljujuće da je to neverovatno. Pišem zato što je zabavno u reči pretočiti svu tu lepotu i bogatstvo života. Pišem ne da bih pričao priču, već da bih je stvorio.
Pišem da bih se oslobodio osećanja da postoji neko mesto u koje uvek treba ići i u koje nikako ne mogu da odem – kao u snu. Pišem zato što nikako ne mogu da budem srećan. Pišem da bih bio srećan.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Other Colors: Essays and A Story
“Such strength behind these eyes, that your soul glows through. Blinding. Captivating. Torturing. You may be as stubborn as a mule on a cliff side but any man would find the true meaning of foolishness to ever forget these facts.”
― quote from The Triple Goddess
“There was a lump in her throat as she watched him fidget with the buttons on his vest, and it struck her as the truest form of kindness, the most basic sort of love: to be worried about the one who was worrying about you.”
― Jennifer E. Smith, quote from The Geography of You and Me
“You're so alive, Maise. You're so here, so present in the moment. You've taught me that happiness is possible now, not in some distant future. You'll scale a mountain without a second thought, face your fears, throw yourself into danger, and you're not reckless but bold, proud. You have a lion's heart. You're not afraid to live.”

The Hunger Games Tri...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.
