“إن عقل الإنسان الواعي يراقب الكون طيلة الوقت، وهو يشبه عالِم الفلك الذي يراقب السماوات بحثاً عن كواكب جديدة. واليوم يكتشف عالِمُ الفلك الكوكب الجديد، من خلال المقارنة بين صور النجم القديمة والصور الجديدة، فإذا تحرك نجم من النجوم عندئذٍ لا يكون نجماً بل كوكباً. وهكذا نجد عقولنا ومشاعرنا مشغولة دوماً بعملية مراقبة الكون بحثاً عن المعاني. ويتكشّف المعنى عندما نقارن بين نوعين من التجارب وندرك فجأة ما يتعلق بهما، مثال على ذلك تجربة الطفل الأولى مع النار إذ قد تولّد لديه الانطباع أن النار ممتعة تماماً: دافئة وبراقة ومثيرة. وإذا حاول بعد ذلك أن يضع إصبعه في النار، فإنّه يتعلم شيئاً جديداً عنها وهي أنّها تحرق. إلا أنّه لايقرر بالرغم من ذلك أن النار كلها غير ممتعة، إلا إذا كان رعديداً وعصابياً على نحو غريب، فهو يضم التجربتين الواحدة للأخرى مثل خريطتين لنجم واحد، ثم يسجل أنّ صفة النار الأولى لا بد أن تكون منفصلة عن الصفات الأخرى. وتدعى هذه العملية عملية التعلّم.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites

“Tactical catastrophes are rarely the outcome of a single poor decision. Small compromises incrementally close off options until a commander is forced into actions he would never choose freely.”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer

“Every novel is like this, desperation, a frustrated attempt to save something of the past. Except that it still has not been established whether it is the novel that prevents man from forgetting himself or the impossibility of forgetfulness that makes him write novels.”
― José Saramago, quote from The History of the Siege of Lisbon

“But I don't think Art's an Einstein - he likes tugging ears, biting people and burping too much to be a genius.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Demon Thief

“It was one of those still evenings you get in the summer, when you can hear a snail clear its throat a mile away.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, quote from Carry on, Jeeves

About BookQuoters

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.
