― Kristina McMorris, quote from Every Time We Say Goodbye

“When she comes
She pulls you close
She breathes in short bursts
Her eyes close
Her head tilts back
Her mouth opens slightly
Her thighs turn to steel, and then melt
She is perfect
And you feel like you are everything.”
― Henry Rollins, quote from The Portable Henry Rollins
“ليس مهما ما إذا كان مضمون الهتاف صحيحا أم غير صحيح ما إذا كنتما تؤمنان به أو لا. قراركما بالهتاف معه ليس مقياسا لالتزامكما بالعدالة أو الحرية أو أي من المبادئ النبيلة التي يدعيها احيانا تكون الشعارات الجذرية بمثابة الفخ يهتف بها المندسون حتى يمكن لصق تهمة السعي إلى الإطاحة بالنظام بمحموعة من الطلاب الذين يحتجون غلى الح...ملة على الصحافة في احيان اخرى لاتكون فخاخا على الإطلاق بل موقفا بائسا يعبر عنه شخص شجاع
لكن كيف يمكنكما أن تعرفا؟ هدفكما هو تجنب التحول إلى بيادق,وتجنب أن تجرا الى المشكلات بسبب فضولكما أو لاعتقادكما أنكما تريان التاريخ يصنع أمامكما”
― Shirin Ebadi, quote from Iran Awakening
“Men have few restraints in expressing to prostitutes—during sex or in any sexual scenario— their real attitudes toward women as a class; they have no reason to feel constrained, since the woman is there to be a woman, period—to be inferior, subservient, and used. She is there because the man wants a woman, someone exactly of her class, someone who is her sex function, not human but an it, a cunt: she is there for that reason, not for anything human in her. Her function is limited, specialized, sex-specific, and intensely and intrinsically dehumanizing.”
― Andrea Dworkin, quote from Right Wing Women
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.
