“Hay personas que coleccionan sellos; otras impresos antiguos. El señor Povondra [...] buscó durante largos años un complemento a su vida; [...] pero una tarde, cuando menos lo esperaba, se presentó en su vida lo que le faltaba para hacerla completa. Las grandes cosas, por lo general, ocurren de repente (p.111).

- Préstame las tijeras [...]. Voy a recortar todo lo que publican los periódicos sobre esas salamandras, para dejar cuando muera algún recuerdo mío.

Y así fue como el señor Povondra empezó a recoger los recortes que hablaban sobre las salamandras. [...] No ocultaremos que, después de cierto nerviosismo sufrido en los primeros días, aprendió en su café preferido a recortar de los periódicos que allí tenían a disposición de la clientela todos los artículos que trataban sobre las salamandras, y eso, en las mismas narices del camarero, sin que éste se diese cuenta y con la habilidad de un prestidigitador. Como se sabe, todos los coleccionistas estarían dispuestos a robar o asesinar con tal de conseguir algo nuevo para su colección. Pero esto no rebaja, de ninguna manera, su carácter moral.

Ahora tenía ya un sentido su vida, porque era la vida de un coleccionista (p.113).”
― Karel Čapek, quote from War with the Newts

“Toby twisted around. "Boo." Emily screamed.”
― Sara Shepard, quote from Flawless

“Save all your energies and time for breaking the wall your mind has built around you.”
― Nisargadatta Maharaj, quote from I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“Fake
Is that what you are
if you choose to improve
the basic not perfect you?”
― Ellen Hopkins, quote from Perfect

“Gwen Cassidy needed a man.
Desperately.
Failing that, she'd settle for a cigarette.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from Kiss of the Highlander

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.
