“Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Fear Nothing
“Sometimes there is no darker place than our own thoughts; the moonless midnight of the mind.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Fear Nothing
“I stopped in St. Bernadette's Cemetery one of my favorite places... The trunks of six giant oaks rise like columns supporting a ceiling formed by their interlocking crowns. In the quiet space below, is laid out an aisle similar to those in any library. The gravestones are like rows of books bearing the names of those whose names have been blotted from the pages of life; who have been forgotten elsewhere but are remembered here.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Fear Nothing
“Self discipline and respect come naturally when you truly believe that your life has a spiritual dimension and that you are carefully designed to fulfill a destiny.
Never leave a friend behind....they are all we have to get us through this life....and are the only thing we hope to see in the next...”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Fear Nothing
“The windows were heavily draped, and the milk-pitcher moon couldn't find gaps through which to pour itself. All was blackness on blackness.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Fear Nothing
“...our nature and purpose is, more than anything else, to love and to make love, to take joy from the beauty of the world, to live with an awareness that the future is not as real a place for any one of us as are the present and the past.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Fear Nothing
“Sometimes there is no darker place than our own thoughts: the moonless midnight of the mind.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Fear Nothing
“In this crazy future tumbling like an avalanche straight at us, the ambitions of two people didn’t amount to a hill of beans.”

“The males (of the Hutchinson family that included both religious dissenter Anne and immensely wealthy and politically connected Thomas) were merchants who sought salvation through commerce.”
― H.W. Brands, quote from The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin
“Okay? Now you know all this stuff about me, and I still don’t know anything about you. I don’t even know if you’re still there. Are you? And if you are, can I trust you with the rest? I still want to know—are you a good person? Maybe that’s not fair of me to ask, since I haven’t even figured out whether I’m a good person or not. I guess you can be the judge. Here’s the deal. If you’re okay with me so far, then keep reading. But if you’ve gotten this far and you think I’m the lowest of the low and I don’t deserve to have my own book, then maybe you should stop right now. Because it only gets worse from here. (Or better, depending on how you look at it.) Signed, your friend (?), RK”
― James Patterson, quote from Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life
“الشريك الأساسي لهذا التورط من قبل الانسان ليس انسان آخر, لكنه النظام كنسيج يهدف ذاته. ينقسم الناس في هرم السلطة حسب درجة المسوؤلية, وليس بينها المسؤولية عن الكذب. إن الصراع بين مرام الحياة وأغراض النظام لا ينعكس في صراع بين طبقتين اجتماعيتين منفصلتين. النظرة العامة -بشكل تقريبي- تسمح بتقسيم المجتمع إلى حكام ومحكومين. هنا يكمن واحد من أهم الفروق بين نظام ما بعد الشمولية والديكتاتورية التقليدية, التي فيها يمكن رصد حدود هذا الصراع من الناحية الاجتماعية. في نظم ما بعد الشمولية هذه الحدود يصنعها في الواقع كل إنسان. حيث أن كل فردهو ضحية ودعامة. إن ما تعنيه كلمة نظام ليس النظام الذي يفرضه جماعة على الآخرين, لكنه شيء يتغلغل في المجتمع بأكمله ويشارك المجتمع في تشكيله. إنه شيء يبدو وكأنه لا يمكن الإمساك به, حيث أنه مجرد مبدأ, لكن في الواقع يمسك بالمجتمع بأكمله كعنصر هام يضمن له حياته.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless
“True happiness exists as the spacious and compassionate heart's willingness to feel whatever is present.”

“We cannot have a just society that applies the principle of accountability to the powerless in the principle of forgiveness to the powerful.”

Fire of Stars and Dr...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.
