“But the greatest mistake is in believing that we are 'only human… ' We are human in expression but divine in creation and limitless in potentiality.”
― quote from Discover the Power Within You
“The child who is taken only as he is—whose potentiality is ignored or slighted—remains where he is, or even slides backward. But the child who is treated as if he is already what he should be, often begins to make the most startling progress to what he can be.”
― quote from Discover the Power Within You
“He whose heart is full of tenderness, and truth; Who loves mankind more than he loves himself, And cannot find room in his heart to hate, May be another Christ. We all may be The Saviours of the world, if we believe In the Divinity which dwells in us And worship it, and nail our grosser selves, Our tempers, greeds, and our unworthy aims, Upon the cross. Who giveth love to all, Pays kindness for unkindness, smiles for frowns, Lends new courage to each fainting heart, And strengthens hope and scatters joy abroad, He, too, is a Redeemer, Son of God. Ella Wheeler Wilcox5”

“Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power.”

“En nuestro fuero interno, medimos el tiempo por los cambios y los acontecimientos, no por los años.”
― Charles Dickens, quote from A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings
“നിങ്ങളൊരുമിച്ചു നിന്നാൽ ഹസ്തിനപുരത്തിന് കപ്പം തന്ന് കാൽ വണങ്ങാത്ത ഒരു രാജാവും ലോകത്തിലുണ്ടാവില്ല. അതേതെങ്കിലും ആചാര്യൻ നിങ്ങളെ പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നുണ്ടോ?............ശവം വീണു കാണാൻ കൊതിക്കുന്ന കൂളികൾ പല വേഷത്തിൽ ഈ കൊട്ടാരത്തിൽ കയറിയിറങ്ങുന്നുണ്ട്. ജ്യോതിഷക്കാരായിട്ടും ഋഷിമാരായിട്ടും. നിങ്ങൾ ഒരുമ്മിച്ചു കഴിയേണ്ടവരാണ്. അതു മാത്രം അവർ പറഞ്ഞുതരില്ല...(ഗാന്ധാരി )”
― M.T. Vasudevan Nair, quote from രണ്ടാമൂഴം | Randamoozham
“Sempre he pensat que el do d'una persona reflectia alguna cosa seva, i l'únic que se m'acut és que el meu do reflecteix els meus desitjos,i que jo desitjo ser totalment salvatge, totalment lliure. Sense cap mena de control.”
― Sally Green, quote from Half Wild
“I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I'm not Justin Silverstone's biggest fan, but he's not a bad guy. Despite the mistakes he made in the past, he recently helped us destroy Anima from inside out. He's proven himself. And yet, the moment he put his arm around Camilla and turned on his megawatt smile, Ive wanted to open him up from navel to nose, just to play Operation. Same way I reacted when the waiter touched her.
I think I'm on my period.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from A Mad Zombie Party
“A dream is a strange thing. Pictures appear with terrifying clarity, the minutest details engraved like pieces of jewelry, and yet we leap unawares through huge abysses of time and space. Dreams seem to be controlled by wish rather than reason, the heart rather than the head–and yet, what clever, tricky convolutions my reason sometimes makes while I’m asleep! Things quite beyond comprehension happen to reason in dreams!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, quote from The Dream of a Ridiculous Man
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.
