“Il me manque tellement. Ça ne devient pas plus facile. Peu importe ce que les gens disent, le temps ne guérit pas les blessures. Il vous montre simplement de nouvelles, et encore plus douloureuses manières de souffrir de l'absence de quelqu'un. Plus cette personne est partie depuis longtemps, pire c'est, parce qu'on commence à oublier son sourire, sa façon de pencher la tête lorsqu'elle réfléchissait, de vous regarder et de deviner ce à quoi vous pensiez. Bientôt, on se met même à avoir la sensation que les souvenir sont étés remplacés par des images photographiques - comme si la seule façon de se rappeler cette personne se trouvait désormais sur un cliché, et qu'elle devenait bidimensionnelle. Et comme ça déchiré le cœur rien que d'y penser, on évite de le faire.”
― Cat Clarke, quote from Undone
“Hold a bottle by the neck and a woman by the waist. Never the other way around”.”
― Amitav Ghosh, quote from Sea of Poppies
“When you touch the celestial in your heart, you will realize that the beauty of your soul is so pure, so vast and so devastating that you have no option but to merge with it. You have no option but to feel the rhythm of the universe in the rhythm of your heart.”
― Amit Ray, quote from Meditation: Insights and Inspirations
“As long as you keep trying, there's a chance. When you give up? That's when the dream dies.”
― Brandon Sanderson, quote from Oathbringer
“I’ve been thinking about that ever since. Am I lucky? Am I lucky that I didn’t die? Am I lucky that, compared to the other kids here, my life doesn’t seem so bad? Maybe I am, but I have to say, I don’t feel lucky. For one thing, I’m stuck in this pit. And just because your life isn’t as awful as someone else’s, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. You can’t compare how you feel to the way other people feel. It just doesn’t work. What might look like the perfect life—or even an okay life—to you might not be so okay for the person living it.”

Atlantis UnleashedBookQuoters 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.
