― Julie Garwood, quote from Gentle Warrior
“Không phải bản thân sự chia lìa hay vắng bóng họ làm cháu thấy buồn. Mà bởi những ý nghĩ về họ khiến sự chia lìa trở nên đau đớn, và những hình bóng cũ vẫn cứ bám theo. Vả lại, sự thương tiếc chẳng bao giờ cạn kiệt. Vì thế, đau buồn hay thương tiếc chẳng qua chỉ là một hình thức biểu lộ của thứ tình cảm yêu thương lớn lao mà cháu dành cho họ.”
― Kyōichi Katayama, quote from Socrates In Love
“That was the strength of Ellysetta's weave. Bright, unyielding,indefatigable love. Love that did not know surrender. Love that did not understand limitations or even basic self-preservation. Love that would batter itself to death before giving in to defeat.”
― C.L. Wilson, quote from King of Sword and Sky
“Revenge itself may indeed be the best revenge, but slaying one's enemy does not give back what they stole.”
― Emilie Autumn, quote from The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls
“It was Sunday morning. I woke very early to a bright and cheery day, anxious to join my fellow Christians in this lovely garden of a land. The clerk in the hotel eyed me a little dubiously when I asked for a church. 'We don't have many of those, you know,' he said. 'Besides, you couldn't understand the language.'
'Didn't you know?' I said, 'Christians speak a kind of universal language.'
'Oh. What's that?'
'It's called "agape".'
'Agape? I never heard of it.'
'Too bad. It's the most beautiful language in the world.”
― Brother Andrew, quote from God's Smuggler
“-Es curioso que uno no pueda estar sin encariñarse con algo. Es como si la mente segregara sentimiento sin parar...
-¿Vos creés?
-... lo mismo que el estómago segrega jugo para digerir.”
― Manuel Puig, quote from Kiss of the Spider Woman
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.
