“It doesn't matter where you're from - or how you feel... There's always peace in a strong cup of coffee.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“Life is like a book son. And every book has an end. No matter how much you like that book you will get to the last page and it will end. No book is complete without its end. And once you get there, only when you read the last words, will you see how good the book is.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“And sometimes we die to prove that we lived.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“She was the most beautiful creature on Earth - her hair said so in that language only hair can speak.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“My dreams tell me who I am.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper



“Each day, we feel more distant from each other, more alone, all while being surrounded by millions. Each day we watch as our city turns into a desert, one in which we are all lost, looking for that oasis we like to call “love”. The more we wait, the more everything and everyone looks like a grain of sand escaping between our fingers before vanishing into the wind. How do we find something or someone we can no longer see, but which is right there before us? And how do we hold on to what is most precious in life?”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“It takes sometime and a lot of looking around but you eventually find that your home is alot more just the house you live in.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“It takes time and a lot of looking around, but you eventually find that your home is a lot more than just the house you live in. Brás had all the time in the world to figure that out. He discovered your country can be your home, or a city, or just that particular neighborhood. Sometimes your life changes--you change--and your home moves to a different place. Brás realized that home is not a physical place at all, but a group of elements like the people you live with--a feeling, a state of mind. He feels safer just knowing that even if he's away... there is a home... waiting for him to return. It's where he can rest. Where he finds peace.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“Isn’t it strange how we always seem to remember the trivial things from our daily lives... yet we so often forget the most important ones?”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“The more we wait, the more everything and everyone looks like a grain of sand escaping between our fingers before vanishing into the wind.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper



“People die every day. That was the most comforting thought Brás had while all the obituaries he wrote at the newspaper flashed before him. He just realized that, even when he’s not writing about it, people will keep dying. Isn’t it funny how easily forget about work the moment they leave for the day? Isn’t it strange how we always seem to remember the trivial things from our daily lives, yet we so often forget the most important ones?”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“If you travel too fast, all you're gonna see is a blur and you'll never really meet anyone interesting.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“… that’s what friends do. They care. They find each other and stick together when things get rough. Friends are worth the effort.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“You are my home, my heart, my love. Good night.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“He feels safer just knowing that even if he's away there is a home waiting for him to return.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper



“So, what do you do for a living?'
'Why do you ask?'
'I don't know. I just met you and I'd like to know you better. Who you are, what you want -- your dreams.'
'My job won't tell you who I am. And especially not what I want.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“How do we find something or someone we can no longer see, but which is right there before us?”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“It takes some time and a lot of looking around, but you eventually find that your home is a lot more than just the
house you live in.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“A vida é como um livro, filho. E todo livro tem um fim. Não importa o quanto você goste do livro você vai chegar na última página e ele vai terminar. Nenhum livro é completo sem o fim. E quando você chega lá somente quando você lê as últimas palavras é que você vê como o livro é bom. Ele parece mais real.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“Even when he was awake, he would carry his dreams with him. They reminded him of who he is and what he wanted out of life. His dreams would tell him what to do, how to navigate in this world.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper



“I wake up and fall in love with you like that day at the bakery”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper


“You are on this boat floating on an endless ocean. These baskets contain wishes, desires...forces that drive your will to move forward. However, if you stay here just staring at them...sooner or later...they're all going to sink.”
― Fábio Moon, quote from Daytripper

“Something always turned up. That was Tom's philosophy.”
― Patricia Highsmith, quote from The Talented Mr. Ripley


“make away out of no way”
― Barack Obama, quote from The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream


“he saw that which cannot be seen; a concept; the adaptive, self-seeking urge to survive, to bend everything that can be reached to that end, and to remove and to add and to smash and to create so that one particular collection of cells can go on, can move onwards and decide, and keeping moving, and keeping deciding, knowing that - if nothing else - at least it lives. And it had two shadows, it was two things; it was the need and it was the method. The need was obvious; to defeat what opposed its life. The method was that taking and bending of materials and people to one purpose, the outlook that everything could be used in the fight; that nothing could be excluded, that everything was a weapon, and the ability to handle those weapons, to find them and choose which one to aim and fire; that talent, that ability, that use of weapons.”
― Iain M. Banks, quote from Use of Weapons


“I will go out again this very night with my rockets and fuses. I will blow them straight out of their comfortable beds. Blow the rooftops off their houses. Blow the black, wretched night to bits. I will not stop. For mad I may be, but I will never be convenient.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, quote from Revolution


“«¡Nunca permitas que el sentido de la moral te impida hacer lo que está bien!»”
― Isaac Asimov, quote from The Foundation Trilogy

About BookQuoters

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.
