Popular quotes

“Das Amt für Desinformation pflegt nur bei schwersten Zusammenstößen von Magierwelt und Muggeln tätig zu werden. Einige magische Katastrophen oder Unfälle müssen den Muggeln einfach ins Auge springen, und dann kommen sie nicht ohne den Beistand einer höheren Autorität aus, die den Vorfall wegerklärt. Das Amt für Desinformation wendet sich in solchen Fällen direkt an die Regierung des jeweiligen Muggelstaates, um eine plausible nichtmagische Erklärung für das Ereignis abzugeben.”
― J.K. Rowling, quote from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them


“All love is betrayal, in that it flatters life. The loveless man is best armed.”
― John Updike, quote from Couples

“A filosofia, conforme entendo a palavra, é algo intermediário entre a teologia e a ciência. Como a teologia, consiste de especulações sobre assuntos a que o conhecimento exato não conseguiu até agora chegar, mas, como ciência, apela mais à razão humana do que à autoridade, seja esta a da tradição ou a da revelação.”
― Bertrand Russell, quote from Religion and Science

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.
