Back on a plane.
Back home.
Back to him.

“You get an astronaut's life whether you want it or not. Leave it all behind for a world you know nothing about. That's just the deal.”
― Joe Hill, quote from 20th Century Ghosts
“Cum spune Virilio, războiul nu apare câtuși de puțin când omul aplică omului raportul de vânător pe care îl avea cu animalul, ci, din contră, atunci când captează forța animalului vânat pentru a intra cu omul într-un cu totul alt raport, care e cel de război (inamic, nu pradă).Nu e deci de mirare că mașina de război este invenția nomazilor crescători de animale: creșterea și dresarea animalelor nu se confundă nici cu vânătoarea primitivă, nici cu domesticirea sedentară, ci reprezintă, tocmai, descoperirea unui sistem proiector și proiectil. ...’ În încălecare, se conservă energia cinetică, viteza calului, nu proteinele (motorul, nu carnea). Pe când la vânătoare, vânătorul urmărea să oprească mișcarea animalului sălbatic printr-o ucidere sistematică, crescătorul începe să o conserve și, prin intermediul dresajului, cel care încalecă animalul se asociază acestei mișcări, orientând-o și provocându-i accelerarea.”

“A piece of advice: if you want to remain in control of a doomsday cult, don't give a date for the end of the world unless you're really, really sure it's going to happen. Being wrong tends to undermine your authority.”

“It isn't always easy between us. I admit that. But it's right between us, always.”

CanadaBookQuoters 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.
