“در فاصله ی میان دو جنگ، یوهان خردسال ... سرگرم بازیهای چهار و نیم سالگی خود بود. بازیهایی که هیچ آدم بالغی به معنا و مفهوم آن پی نمیبرد و از شیرینی آن خبر نداشت. ... این بازیها بیش از هر چیز به تخیل بی آلایش، پرشور، نیرومند، دست نخورده و بی حد و مرز سنّ و سال بی دغدغهای نیازمند است که در آن زندگی هنوز قادر نیست به ما دست درازی کند، سنّ و سالی که در آن هنوز نه گناهی به گردن داریم و نه وظیفه ای، سنّ و سالی که در آن اجئزه داریم ببینیم، بشنویم، بخندیم، شگفت زده شویم و رویا ببافیم، بی آن که دنیا هنوز از ما توقعی داشته باشد، سنّ و سالی که در آن کسانی که میخواهیم دوستشان بداریم، هنوز با بی صبری خود، آزارمان نمیدهند و در پی آن نیستند که با دیدن نخستین نشانهها و دلایل، اطمینان بیابند که در آینده به خوبی از عهده ی توقعات زندگی بر خواهیم آمد. اما طولی نخواهد کشید که زندگی با قدرت بی چون و چرای خود بر سرمان بتازد، آلوده مان کند، به راه مان بیاورد، دراز و کوتاه مان کند، تباه مان کند.”
― Thomas Mann, quote from Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family
“Like our padded cell?" He poked the insulated walls. "It's like living in a vagina.”

“Leadership is what you need to learn next”

“There was a time when I thought I loved my first wife more than life itself. But now I hate her guts. I do. How do you explain that? What happened to that love? What happened to it, is what I'd like to know. I wish someone could tell me.”
― Raymond Carver, quote from What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
“Leaders are forced to kill all the time. Then they have to learn to live with the decisions they make. Just like I’m going to learn to live with mine.”

MoonBookQuoters 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.
