“None of us ever know what we are choosing when we choose life. If certainty is so important to you, than you should have chosen to be dead. That is a certain thing.”
― Robin Hobb, quote from Forest Mage
“A leaf turns in the wind, and you suddenly have a different perception of what colour it is.”
― Robin Hobb, quote from Forest Mage
“It was all so meaningless when I looked at it that way. It was meaningless in the same way as when I stood up from a game and then looked down on the scatter of playing pieces, and realized that they all were just bits of polished stone on a wooden board marked with squares. All the meaning they'd had moments before when I'd been trying to win a game were meanings that I'd imbued them with. Of themselves, neither they nor the board had any significance.”
― Robin Hobb, quote from Forest Mage
“Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.”

“Any future can be!” she replied, laughing at me. “If it were not so, if it were fixed, it would be a past. You say a foolish thing. How can a future be impossible?”

“The more I get to know Jesus, the more trouble he seems to get me into.”
― Shane Claiborne, quote from The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical
“Wśród naszego rodzaju utrzymuje się zdumiewający pociąg ku temu, co "ostatnie" i "utracone". Wartość przeżycia czegoś, z czego również przyszłe pokolenia będą czerpać radość, nie może się w żaden sposób mierzyć z wartością zobaczenia tego, co później popadnie w ruinę. Ten widzi, kto widzi ostatni. Podobnie rozpowszechniony jest zwyczaj kłócenia się krewnych i przyjaciół o to, kto ostatni zamienił słowo ze zmarłym. W miarę zmniejszania się naszej planety i odkrywania przez przemysł turystyczny coraz to nowych nisz i nisz w niszach wróżę świetlaną przyszłość nekroturystyce. "Zobaczcie wymarły Bajkał!", "Jeszcze tylko kilka lat, a Malediwy znajdą się pod wodą!", "Ty możesz być ostatnim człowiekiem, który oglądał żywego tygrysa!".”

“The worst part, he realized as he destroyed first one vampire, and then another, was that he didn’t care. He welcomed it, embraced it, and relished in the death around him as it briefly calmed his tormented spirit.”

Who Fears The DevilBookQuoters 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.
