“Die Wahrheit ist, daß Marty seinen Vater Herman Coslaw ein wenig nervös macht. Herman lebt in einer Welt äußerst aktiver Kinder, Kinder, die rennen und toben und Basebälle wegschmettern und Staffelwettschwimmen veranstalten. Und während er diese sportlichen Aktivitäten überwacht, schaut er gelegentlich auf und sieht Marty irgendwo in der Nähe in seinem Rollstuhl sitzen und den anderen Kindern zuschauen. Das hatte Herman schon immer nervös gemacht.”
― Stephen King, quote from Cycle of the Werewolf
“Liebe wäre wie Rosen in der Dämmerung

Liebe ist wie Sterben”

“El amor será como el áspero roce de la mejilla de un hombre que araña y rasca...”

Блажен, кто смолоду был молод,
Блажен, кто вовремя созрел,
Кто постепенно жизни холод
С летами вытерпеть умел;
Кто странным снам не предавался,
Кто черни светской не чуждался,
Кто в двадцать лет был франт иль хват,
А в тридцать выгодно женат;
Кто в пятьдесят освободился
От частных и других долгов,
Кто славы, денег и чинов
Спокойно в очередь добился,
О ком твердили целый век:
N. N. прекрасный человек.
XI
Но грустно думать, что напрасно
Была нам молодость дана,
Что изменяли ей всечасно,
Что обманула нас она;
Что наши лучшие желанья,
Что наши свежие мечтанья
Истлели быстрой чередой,
Как листья осенью гнилой.
Несносно видеть пред собою
Одних обедов длинный ряд,
Глядеть на жизнь, как на обряд,
И вслед за чинною толпою
Идти, не разделяя с ней
Ни общих мнений, ни страстей.”
― Alexander Pushkin, quote from Evžen Oněgin
“Don't hope that events will turn out the way you want, welcome events in whichever way they happen: this is the path to peace.”
― Epictetus, quote from Discourses and Selected Writings
“If love is easy, you're not doing it right.”

“You humans certainly have your hearts set on being happy, don’t you?”
― Allison Tebo, quote from The Reluctant Godfather
“In other words, both macaques and rats volunteer for tests only when they feel confident, suggesting that they know their own knowledge.”

The Dream of Perpetu...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.
