“Life isn't just about darkness or light, rather it's about finding light within the darkness.”
― quote from First Night of Summer
“All things, even the deepest sorrow or the most profound happiness are all temporary. Hope is fuel for the soul, without hope, forward motion ceases.”
― quote from First Night of Summer
“Life is about the good and the bad. Good is easy. Bad is hard. Finding a way to make good from the bad is the secret. The few who discover the ability within themselves--nothing can stand in their way of happiness.”
― quote from First Night of Summer
“God, forgive those whose atrocities are so great-- I will not.”
― quote from First Night of Summer
“Darkness will never prevail. If you do not recognize the evil in our world, you will never stand up to it.”

“Magnus placed an order with the room service, who had by now stopped questioning Mr. Bane's unusual needs for things like twenty-four plates of scrambled eggs and “enough coffee to fill one of your larger bathtubs”.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Rise of the Hotel Dumort
“The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.”
― Norman Vincent Peale, quote from The Power of Positive Thinking
“My heart breaks. I hear it break. I feel it.”
― Moira Young, quote from Rebel Heart
“Some people are given relatively fair lives. But others-they carry the burden of the unfairness of the world.”
― Andrea Cremer, quote from Invisibility
“След две седмици Меме беше отворила дюкянчето си и дори си имаше шевна машина. Беше купила нова Domestic с парите, които той натрупа у дома. За мене това беше оскърбление. Така и казах на баща ти. Но макар и да не реагираше на възмущението ми, личеше, че е по-скоро доволен от постъпката си, отколкото разкаян, сякаш беше спасил душата си, противопоставяйки на благоприличието и честта на нашия дом пословичната си търпимост, своето разбиране и великодушие. И дори известно неблагоразумие. Казах му: «Ти хвърли на свинете най-хубавото от убежденията си.» А той, както винаги, ми отвърна:
— И това ще проумееш някой ден.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Leaf Storm and Other Stories

Rush Too FarBookQuoters 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.
