“Tylko w więzieniu łatwo jest zrozumieć, że życie bez czekania na cokolwiek nie ma najmniejszego sensu i wypełnia się po brzegi rozpaczą. Czekając na samotność, baliśmy się jej jednocześnie. Była ona jedyną namiastką wolności, za którą w chwilach zupełnego odprężenia płaciło się ulgą i fizycznym prawie bólem płaczu. Taki jest jednak zawsze pierwszy odruch beznadziejności: wiara, że w samotności cierpienie zahartuje się i wysublimuje jak w ogniu oczyszczającym. Mało ludzi potrafi naprawdę znieść samotność, ale wielu marzy o niej jak o ostatniej ucieczce. Podobnie jak myśl o samobójstwie, myśl o samotności bywa najczęściej jedyną formą protestu, na jaką nas stać, gdy wszystko zawiodło, a śmierć ma w sobie jeszcze ciągle więcej grozy niż uroku. Myśl, sama tylko myśl, gdyż rozpacz płynąca z świadomości jest większa od rozpaczy odrętwienia.”
― Gustaw Herling-Grudziński, quote from A World Apart
“University biologists working with infectious viruses have airtight facilities to ensure that the objects of their study do not escape from the laboratory and damage the population at large. Unfortunately, no such safeguards are imposed on economics departments.”
― James Rickards, quote from Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis
“we have on earth exactly the amount of time that has been allotted to us, no more and no less. We really have precious little control.”
― Chris Bohjalian, quote from The Sandcastle Girls
“When everything is subject to money, then the scarcity of money makes everything scarce, including the basis of human life and happiness. Such is the life of the slave—one whose actions are compelled by threat to survival. Perhaps the deepest indication of our slavery is the monetization of time.”
― Charles Eisenstein, quote from Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition
“When I love, I love hard. You’re stuck with me for good. In your news report, you didn’t say what happened at the end of the bumpy ride. You didn’t say what it takes to break the curse. But I know. True Love. the kind that doesn’t go away because of a few disasters along the way. I love you, Melissa.”
― Jennifer Bernard, quote from The Fireman Who Loved Me

Mucho MojoBookQuoters 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.
