“all was eclipsed in sinister muteness”
― Herman Melville, quote from Benito Cereno
“في أغلب الأحيان نحن نرتبط بالله كي ننتقم من الحياة ، كي نعاقبها ، كي نخبرها بأننا نستطيع الاستغناء عنها ، وأننا وجدنا ما هو أفضل منها . كما أننا نتعلق بالله رعباً من البشر ، في نوع من الاقتصاص منهم ، رغبة في جعلهم يفهمون أننا وقد وجدنا حظوة لدى غيرهم ، فإن صحبتهم لم تعد ضرورية لنا ، وأننا إذا كنا نزحف أمامه فكي لا نضطر إلى الزحف أمامهم . دون هذا العنصر الوضيع ، الموث ، الماكر ، يفقد إيماننا قوته بل قد لا يظهر حتى خطوطه الأولى .”
― Emil M. Cioran, quote from History and Utopia

― Chloe Neill, quote from House Rules
“It was possible, maybe, to have facts in your mind that weren't facts at all. You could build a whole life's story on false assumptions. You could make truths out of untruths and untruths out of truths. Until you spoke them, really said them out loud or checked for sure, you may not have known which were which.”
― Deb Caletti, quote from The Six Rules of Maybe

City of Bones / City...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.
