“El robo a mano armada que suponen los libros es sencillamente una estafa de lo más cínica. Z escribe un libro que publica Y, y que reseña X en el «Semanario W». Si la reseña es negativa, Y retirará el anuncio que ha incluido, por lo cual X tiene que calificar la novela de “obra maestra inolvidable” si no quiere que lo despidan. En esencia, esta es la situación, y la reseña de novelas, o la crítica de novelas, si se quiere, se ha hundido a la profundidad a la que hoy se encuentra sobre todo porque los críticos, sin excepción, tienen a un editor o a varios apretándoles las tuercas por persona interpuesta".”

“War...strengthened the position of the armament industries...to a point...that these industries dominated the economies and therefore the governments of all the participating nations...war barbarised and lowered the already very low level of accepted conduct.”

A Child Called "It"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.
