“Maybe if everything was beautiful, nothing would be.
People saw one thing, they swooned over it. They saw this other thing, they pounded it with sticks.

― Dean Koontz, quote from Dead and Alive

“I was horror-stricken at the contrast between the serenity of but a few moments ago and the wild stirrings of desire I could already feel within me. l was shuddering as you do when you find yourself alone at night on some desolate moorland, when all familiar bearings are lost and a panic fear comes over you that you can dispel only by calmly studying all the landmarks”

“طی این ماه دراز که به اندیشیدن گذراندم،هر احساسی را شناختم،درد و لذت،غم و شادی،ایمان و نارضایی و نا امیدی...خداوندا!چه تن نحیفی برای آزمون برگزیدی!همچنان که احساسی جای خود را به احساس دیگر می داد مثل تب زده ها به خود می لرزیدم و چشمانم را اشک پر می کرد.سی روز پیاپی برای اندیشیدن به یک اندیشه ی واحد زمان درازی است،برای تعمق درباره ی عمیق ترین گناهان و پشیمانی ها و برای غور در این تصور که همه ی اعمال گذشته یکراست به دوزخ اشاره می کند...من به آن زاهد که تقدسش در چهره اش نوشته شده،به پرنده ای که در آسمانش و بهشتش پرواز می کند،به ماهی در اقیانوسش،حسادت می کنم،حتی به جانوری وحشی که در بیشه می خزد حسادت می کنم،چون همه ی آن ها خاطری آسوده دارند.گذشته ای که در گناه سپری شده باشد بار سنگینی است!”
― Camilo José Cela, quote from The Family of Pascual Duarte
“I already read everything. I read poems and plays and novels and newspapers and comic books and magazines. I read tins in supermarkets and leaflets that come through the door, unsolicited mail. None of it lasts long and it doesn't give me answers. Reading too fast is not soothing.”

Heir to SevenwatersBookQuoters 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.
