“...a proud man who could do more than he is asked to do. It is not good for the spirit.”
― Tad Williams, quote from City of Golden Shadow
“Pendant le séjour que tirent en ce pays les Phéniciens qui avaient accompagné Cadmus, et du nombre desquels étaient les Géphyréens, ils introduisirent en Grèce plusieurs connaissances, et entre autres des lettres qui étaient, à mon avis, inconnues auparavant dans ce pays. Ils les employèrent d'abord de la même manière que tous les Phéniciens. Mais, dans la suite des temps, ces lettres changèrent avec la langue, et prirent une autre forme. Les pays circonvoisins étant alors occupés par les Ioniens, ceux-ci adoptèrent ces lettres, dont les Phéniciens les avaient instruits, mais ils y firent quelques légers changements. Ils convenaient de bonne foi, et comme le voulait la justice, qu'on leur avait donné le nom de lettres phéniciennes parce que les Phéniciens les avaient introduites en Grèce."

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.
