“Vivir es relacionarse, gozar y padecer, desear, aborrecer y amar. La lectura es vida artificial y prestada, el usufructo, mediante una función cerebral, de las ideas y sensaciones ajenas, la adquisición de los tesoros de la verdad humana por compra o por estafa, no por el trabajo. No”

“«В лунном свете холмы вокруг города были ясно видны и почти узнаваемы. Я пытался сориентироваться, наблюдая за Луной и звездами так, словно я находился в реальной повседневной жизни. Месяц был на ущербе, вероятно, был первый день после полнолуния. Он находился высоко над горизонтом. Должно быть, было между восемью и девятью часами вечера. Я видел Орион справа от Луны; две главные звезды — Бетельгейзе и Ригель — находились на одном уровне с Луной. Я определил начало декабря. Мое время было — май. В мае Орион нигде в это время суток не виден. Я смотрел на Луну очень долго. Ничего не изменилось. Это была Луна, насколько я мог судить. Несоответствие во времени очень меня взволновало.»”

The Thief's DaughterBookQuoters 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.
