“Una estrategia de ganador Por ejemplo, tengo un amigo que usa su propia estrategia sencilla de riesgo-recompensa para hacer transacciones diarias en la bolsa. Sabe que las posibilidades indican que encontrará un movimiento del mercado en uno de cada 20 tratos. Por eso, establece lo que llama una estrategia de administración del dinero.

“طی این ماه دراز که به اندیشیدن گذراندم،هر احساسی را شناختم،درد و لذت،غم و شادی،ایمان و نارضایی و نا امیدی...خداوندا!چه تن نحیفی برای آزمون برگزیدی!همچنان که احساسی جای خود را به احساس دیگر می داد مثل تب زده ها به خود می لرزیدم و چشمانم را اشک پر می کرد.سی روز پیاپی برای اندیشیدن به یک اندیشه ی واحد زمان درازی است،برای تعمق درباره ی عمیق ترین گناهان و پشیمانی ها و برای غور در این تصور که همه ی اعمال گذشته یکراست به دوزخ اشاره می کند...من به آن زاهد که تقدسش در چهره اش نوشته شده،به پرنده ای که در آسمانش و بهشتش پرواز می کند،به ماهی در اقیانوسش،حسادت می کنم،حتی به جانوری وحشی که در بیشه می خزد حسادت می کنم،چون همه ی آن ها خاطری آسوده دارند.گذشته ای که در گناه سپری شده باشد بار سنگینی است!”
― Camilo José Cela, quote from The Family of Pascual Duarte

“No matter how dark the room gets I can always see. It looks emptier when I put the lights on so I don't do it if I can help it. Brightness disagrees with me: it hurts my eyes, wastes electricity and encourages moths, all sorts of things. I sit in the dark for a number of reasons.”

“Indians only needed so many implements and decorations. If a tribe drove three hundred buffalo over a cliff, they wouldn’t feel obligated to make twenty-four hundred buffalo-hoof spoons and six hundred buffalo-horn charcoal carriers. Rather, they might just take the meat and hides from the best-looking female buffalo, those that weren’t too smashed up or buried under other buffalo. That might be all they touched. After all, their time and energy had value, just as ours does.”
― quote from American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon

About BookQuoters

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.
