“Memories - you can't escape them, but you can't let them rule you either.”
― Rob Thurman, quote from Deathwish
“I'd be a monster fighter who rode the bus. It didn't get any more bad-ass than that.”
― Rob Thurman, quote from Deathwish

― Rob Thurman, quote from Deathwish
“Fall leaves are brilliant with gold and red. You can cup them in your hand and wonder at them, be amazed at their uniqueness and glory. But eventually they are gone, brown, crumbling, scattered on the wind. But the tree remains. The tree is what is important. The tree lives on. That was a difficult knowledge to bear, and an even more difficult life to live. Of course, being the leaf wasn't exactly desirable either.”
― Rob Thurman, quote from Deathwish
“They don't have to choose either/or. They can have their cake and mutilate it too.”
― Rob Thurman, quote from Deathwish
“If there is no trust, there is nothing. Trust is all.”
― Rob Thurman, quote from Deathwish
“All I cared was that she had never lied. She was honest in a world just the opposite, and a cool oasis in my life. She was who she said she was, and everything Sophia, my mother, the pathologically manipulative liar, had never been.”
― Rob Thurman, quote from Deathwish
“And he had it all over Octavian, let me tell you. Hung like a Pegasus, he was.”

“Make wise choices with your life because the rest of the world certainly isn't going to do it for you.”
― Jessica Brody, quote from My Life Undecided
“Now that she had achieved a truly transcendent plane of thought she was sure of only one thing: she understood absolutely nothing! The universe was infinite, and there were most likely an infinite number of universes. To sit on one tiny planet in an ocean of infinite infinities and believe you understood anything about the true nature of existence and reality was absurd.”
― Douglas E. Richards, quote from Wired
“VI. If any could desire what he is incapable of possessing, despair must be his eternal lot.”

“Nie było to miasto Smutku; było to miasto, w którym nigdy nie gościła Radość.”
― Gustaw Herling-Grudziński, quote from A World Apart
“America has, in fact, run trade deficits large enough to wipe out its gold hoard under the old rules of the game. Still, the idea of the gold standard was not to deplete nations of gold, but rather to force them to get their financial house in order long before the gold disappeared. In the absence of a gold standard and the real-time adjustments it causes, the American people seem unaware of how badly U.S. finances have actually deteriorated.”

Through My EyesBookQuoters 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.
