“A wild-goose chase! I’d heard that expression so many times but never been on one. It sounded like the most exciting thing in the whole world. Yes, I wanted to go on a wild-goose chase, and if that meant Vegas, so be it.”

“This is the problem of history. We cannot know that which we were not there to see and hear and experience for ourselves. We must rely upon the words of others. Those who were there in the olden days, they told stories to the children so that the children would know, so that the children could tell stories to their children. And so on, and so on.”
― Yaa Gyasi, quote from Homegoing
“But I refuse to say. Because I love him, and you'd give anything, wouldn't you? You'd give anything for someone you love not to die alone and in scalding agony?”
― Geraldine McCaughrean, quote from The White Darkness
“Aunque esta definición incluye la palabra acuerdo a fin de mostrar que hay dos partes, Dios y el hombre, que deben entrar en las estipulaciones de esas relaciones, la frase «divinamente impuesto» aparece también para mostrar que el hombre nunca puede negociar con Dios o cambiar los términos del pacto. Él solo puede aceptar las obligaciones del pacto o rechazarlas. Probablemente por esta razón los traductores griegos del Antiguo Testamento (de la traducción conocida como la Septuaginta), y, siguiéndolos a ellos, los autores del Nuevo Testamento, no usaron la palabra griega común que denotaba contratos o acuerdos en los que ambas partes eran iguales (syntheke), sino que más bien eligieron una palabra menos común, diadsékh, que hace hincapié en que las provisiones del pacto fueron establecidas solo por una de las partes.

Unlit StarBookQuoters 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.
