“They lived like monkeys still, while their new god powers lay around them in the weeds.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, quote from Red Mars
“Большинство людей убеждено, что если их не принуждает открыто какая-либо внешняя сила, то их решения — это их собственные решения, и если они чего-то хотят, то это их собственные желания. Такое представление о себе — одна из величайших наших иллюзий. На самом деле значительная часть наших желаний фактически навязана нам со стороны; нам удается убедить себя, что это мы приняли решение, в то время как на самом деле мы подстраиваемся под желания окружающих, гонимые страхом изоляции или даже более серьезных опасностей, угрожающих нашей жизни”

“I’m fucking desperate to bury myself—feel, lose, find myself—in you, Ry …” he says, the strain in his neck visible and his desperation audible. “You deserve soft and slow, baby, but all I’m going to be able to give you is hard and fast because it’s been so fucking long since I’ve had you.”
― K. Bromberg, quote from Crashed
“He was angry; not as the irritable, from chafing of a trifle; nor was his anger like the fool's, pumped from the wells of nothing, to be dissipated by a reproach or a curse; it was the wrath peculiar to ardent natures rudely awakened by the sudden annihilation of a hope --dream, if you will-- in which the choicest happinesses were thought to be certainly in reach. In such case nothing intermediate will carry off the passion --the quarrel is with Fate.”
― Lew Wallace, quote from Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

Selling ScarlettBookQuoters 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.
