“Οι γονείς μας ποτέ δεν είναι άνθρωποι στα μάτια μας, ποτέ·είναι απλώς γνωρίσματα του χαρακτήρα, ιδιομορφίες της φωνής, άσχημες μύτες, καυτά δάκρυα, αχίλλιες πτέρνες, οι θολοί εφιάλτες μας. Όλα κληροδοτημένα, κι εμείς εγκλωβισμένοι σ' αυτά. Το δίλημμά μας είναι τρομερό: γύρνα και κοίταξε αυτή τη γυναίκα, κατανοήσέ την και λυπήσου την, συμπάθησέ την και μίλα της, αναγνώρισε ότι τα ψυχρά πεντακάθαρα δωμάτια μέσα στα οποία μεγάλωσε τα μετέτρεψε, μέσα στη μεγάλη και πληγωμένη της ίσως καρδιά, σε χώρους για ισόβιο οργασμό μαγειρέματος και κανακέματος και φροντίδας προκειμένου να κάνει τη μικρή γωνία του δικού της κόσμου ωραία και φιλόξενη, και τότε ο διαχωρισμός είναι πλήρης - όταν όμως συμβεί αυτό, εσύ πρέπει να είσαι ενήλικας. Μέσα στη σωσίβια λέμβο της ζωής σου υπάρχει χώρος μόνο για έναν, κι εσύ πάντα επιλέγεις τον εαυτό σου, και μετατρέπεις τους γονείς σου σε ό,τι χρειάζεσαι για να κρατηθείς στην επιφάνεια.”
― Anna Quindlen, quote from One True Thing
“...that in this town prostitutes may give sewing lessons to ladies of the church, pirates my be consulted for their opinions on seaworth by shipbuilders, Christians and Jews may stroll together on a Sunday, and Indians my play dice games with leatherstockings, but let one silver piece fall in a crack between two members of the same profession and it's bloody war.”
― Robert R. McCammon, quote from The Queen of Bedlam
“Being at the easternmost edge of the time zone, Massachusetts has one of the first sunrises in the country.”

“You do not win a war by dying for your country. You win a war by making sure that some poor bastard dies for his.”
― Mal Peet, quote from Tamar
“With our cynicism, created by years of insecurity, how did we look on men? We judged the salesmen in the van der Weyden by the companies they represented, their ability to offer us concessions. Knowing such men, having access to the services they offered, and being flattered by them that we were not ordinary customers paying the full price or having to take our place in the queue, we thought we had mastered the world.”
― V.S. Naipaul, quote from A Bend in the River
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.
