― Oprah Winfrey, quote from What I Know for Sure
“We all make choices, Miss Szarka. And if it doesn't work out the way we wanted it to, we can spend a lifetime blaming ourselves or blaming others. Either way, we've spent a lifetime blaming instead of a lifetime doing other things...I think the possibilities for second chances are everywhere if we just look hard enough." Eve”
― Karen White, quote from The Time Between
“Едното му око беше синьо, другото – зелено, и с всяко от тях така умееше да гледа, че без мяу да каже, човек разбираше какво иска. Но на Полет това не ѝ било достатъчно, не било човек, като че ли не сме животни всичките, просто сме по-несъвършени в сравнение с тях, те не могат ни донесение да направят, нито да наклеветят, и ако откраднат, ще е с причина, защото не могат да отидат до магазина или кръчмата. Как ли не я молих да го приеме, въпреки че не ѝ е подходящ срещу самотата, сираче е, някой проклетник го е изхвърлил, самичко е и без дом ще умре, още е толкова мъничък. Не, не и не, на нея ѝ трябвало човек. Добре, да си го купи на пазара, защото в квартала друго няма, само ние и котката.”
― Magda Szabó, quote from The Door
“Why does the subconscious mind make people steal? Why does it have to be stealing? Don’t you think it’s something deep-rooted in our nature?”
― Fuminori Nakamura, quote from The Thief
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.
