“Un guerrero se define por momentos", dijo Aiden. "Un solo momento puede hacerte un guerrero. Un guerrero se define también por las decisiones. Por su coraje. Pero un guerrero también es alguien normal. No puedes ser un guerrero a cada momento. Pero, el espíritu de un guerrero siempre está presente.”
― Morgan Rice, quote from Desired
“Tienes que elegir", dijo Aiden. "Puedes quedarte aquí, renunciar a la misión, y vivir una vida feliz con Caleb. Será una vida del corazón. Pero no del espíritu. Hemos sido traídos a este planeta para elegir entre dos vidas: una vida del corazón, o una vida del espíritu. Nuestro corazón nos puede atar a las cuestiones domésticas. Pero nuestro espíritu debe elevarse. Debe seguir su vocación.”
― Morgan Rice, quote from Desired
“Tu mayor fortaleza es también tu mayor debilidad", dijo. "Tu pasión. Tu furia. No estoy diciendo que no deberías haber golpeado a Caín. Lo que estoy diciendo es que no deberías haberte golpeado a ti misma.”

“Tu peor enemigo eres tú mismo.”

“Perhaps so many journals had piled up in the lighthouse because on some level most came, in time, to recognize the futility of language. Not just in Area X but against the rightness of the lived-in moment, the instant of touch, of connection for which words were such a sorrowful disappointment, so inadequate an expression of both the finite and the infinite.”
― Jeff VanderMeer, quote from Acceptance
“Was he the woman with no clue where the ant was or the ant, unaware it was on the woman?”

“يؤدي التأمل بالذات الى التأمل بالآخر، والتعرف على الذات الى تضييعها في سلسلة الآخرين اللامتناهية”
― Jorge Luis Borges, quote from Dreamtigers
“All these years I thought a piece of my life was missing. But it was there all along. It was there when I sat beside you in your car and you began to drive. It was there when I sang backwards and you laughed or I made a picnic and you ate every crumb. It was there when you told me you liked my brown suit, when you opened the door for me, when you asked once if I would like to take the long road home. It came later in my garden. When I looked at the sun and saw it glow on my hands. When a rosebud appeared where there had not been one before. It was in the people who stopped and talked of this and that over the garden wall. And just when I thought my life was done, it came time and time again at the hospice. It has been everywhere, my happiness – when my mother sang for me to dance, when my father took my hand to keep me safe – but it was such a small, plain thing that I mistook it for something ordinary and failed to see. We expect our happiness to come with a sign and bells, but it doesn’t.”
― Rachel Joyce, quote from The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy
“The U.S. war crimes office for the chief counsel wrote up a list of doctors involved in medical research that resulted in “mercy killings,” a euphemism used by the Reich for its medical murder programs. The list was classified with a strict caveat that access to it remain “restricted for 80 years from the date of creation.” This meant that, by the time the world would know who was on this list, it would be the year 2025, and everyone named would be dead. A”

Vita NuovaBookQuoters 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.
