“Falling in love should be the easiest thing in the world, but it's not.”
                                    
                                    
                                    ― Rachel Hawthorne, quote from Full Moon
                                
                                
                                    “We were each other's rock. But did it make us each other's destiny?”
                                    
                                    
                                    ― Rachel Hawthorne, quote from Full Moon
                                
                                
                                    “Supposedly, dreams reflect our hidden fears and secret desires, all clamoring for attention.”

                                    “Lindsey: Why would you choose me?
Rafe: Because you're the one I want.”
                                    
                                    
                                    ― Rachel Hawthorne, quote from Full Moon
                                
                                
                                    “Was it possible to measure what the heart felt?”

                                “Oricat l-ar iubi cineva pe altcineva, cat de uşor il poate inşela, deoarece nimeni nu poate cunoaşte, fără să i se spună, gandurile altuia.”
                                
                                
                                    ― Maitreyi Devi, quote from It Does Not Die
                                
                            
                                “Per i prossimo dieci anni la tua vita sarà orribile, avrai grandi problemi e niente ti andrà bene", dice l'indovino. "E poi?", chiede ansioso il cliente. "Poi? Poi ci farai l'abitudine!”
                                
                                
                                    ― Tiziano Terzani, quote from A Fortune-Teller Told Me: Earthbound Travels in the Far East
                                
                            
                                “She needed to be free, to discover, to find her place.”

                                “The world keeps spinning, because your heartbeats exist.”

                                “Il geografo americano Yi-Fu Tuan distingue nei suoi scritti tra i concetti di spazio e un senso di luogo. Gli esseri umani, dice, partono da luoghi dove provano un senso di attaccamento, di protezione e di comprensione, e si avventurano in spazi amorfi, caratterizzati da un senso di libertà, di avventura e d'ignoto.
"Nello spazio aperto," scrive Tuan, "si può diventare intensamente consci di un luogo (ricordato); e nella solitudine d'un luogo protetto l'immensità dello spazio acquista una presenza ossessiva."
Noi trasformiamo in geografia questi luoghi nuovi, esaltanti e a volte spaventosi, estendendo i confini dei nostri vecchi luoghi nel tentativo di includerli. Inseguiamo un desiderio di equilibrio e di armonia tra i nostri luoghi familiari e gli spazi sconosciuti. Ci comportiamo così per rendere comprensibile, o almeno più accettabile, ciò che è estraneo.”

BookQuoters 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.
