“There is something to be said for the night. The darkness holds a sense of promise, as if anything could happen. Maybe something good, like a handsome stranger or something with snarling teeth that whispers pretty things as it eats you. Thus, the night is a test. A test of fear and the sweet promise of pain.”
― Meg Collett, quote from Fear University
“If we win by losing ourselves, by losing what we were fighting for, then we never really win.”
― Meg Collett, quote from Fear University
“You can't always rely on taking the pain. You need to learn to avoid it.”
― Meg Collett, quote from Fear University
“I can't change it now, and besides, I like who those years made me into,”

“It is certainly to be regretted that we have so many things to do and our business day is so fully occupied that somehow or other we seem to make mistakes which could have been avoided if we had really spent the time necessary to think the matter through to a logical conclusion.”
― Daniel Yergin, quote from The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power
“Nhưng, đúng là không thể quên được gì hết, bởi vì đau buồn là một thể nguyên khối suốt cuộc đời, liền một mạch từ thuở thơ ấu, qua chiến tranh đến bây giờ. Và có lẽ để nhận lấy đau khổ, mà người ta được sinh ra ở trên đời này, cũng vì đau khổ mà người ta phải sống, phải mưu cầu hạnh phúc, phải đến với tình yêu, với nghệ thuật, phải tận hưởng phải chịu đựng đến cùng cuộc sống. . .”

Coming HomeBookQuoters 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.
