“While luck may be more appealing than effort, you don’t get to choose luck. Effort, on the other hand, is totally available, all the time.”
“Pretending that we know more than we really do is one big reason we’re not as successful as we should be. It’s probably the worst self-limiting behavior that we have.”
“Success looks a lot like failure up until the moment you break through the finish line.”
“Pain is what hurts you. Fear is what never lets you forget about it.”
“You refuse to believe that your will is weaker than the way things are right now.”
“The only thing standing between you and outrageous success is continuous progress.”
“Огромная часть нашей жизни зависит от совершения трудных действий в тот момент, когда этого меньше всего хочется.”
“Сразу приступайте к действиям. Активность уничтожает страх. Действуйте Делайте что-нибудь. Чем больше, тем лучше.”
“Love creates hope. Hope creates possibility. Possibility creates a context for success.”
“The hard truth is that success isn’t a series of actions. It is an attitude.”
“Where should I go?" -Alice. "That depends on where you want to end up." - The Cheshire Cat.”
“Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.”
“If I speak, I am condemned.
If I stay silent, I am damned!”
“Four flips the gun in this hand, presses the barrel to Peter's forehead, and clicks a bullet into place. Peter freezes with his lips parted, the yawn dead in his mouth. "Wake. Up," Four snaps. "You are holding a loaded gun, you idiot. Act like it.”
“A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
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.
