“পৃথিবীতে যারা মুখ ফুটে নালিশ করতে পারে না, চুপ করে থাকে, তারাই উলটে আসামি হয়।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora


“শক্তির দুটো অংশ আছে — এক অংশ ব্যক্ত আর-এক অংশ অব্যক্ত, এক অংশ উদ্যোগ আর-এক অংশ বিশ্রাম, এক অংশ প্রয়োগ আর-এক অংশ সংবরণ — শক্তির এই সামঞ্জস্য যদি নষ্ট করে তাহলে সে ক্ষুব্ধ হয়ে ওঠে, কিন্তু সে ক্ষোভ মঙ্গলকর নয়।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora


“I have only one prayer to offer to God, and it is that when I have been driven out of every society He will give me shelter at His own feet.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora


“নিন্দা করতে গেলে বাইরে থেকে করা যায়, কিন্তু বিচার করতে গেলে ভিতরে প্রবেশ করতে হয়।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora


“আমার উপরে সত্য নির্ভর করছে , সত্যের উপরে আমি নির্ভর করছি নে' এরকম যাদের ধারণা তাদেরই বলে গোঁড়া ।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora



“মতকে মত দিয়ে যুক্তিকে যুক্তি দিয়ে বাঁধা দেয়া চলে , কিন্তু বুদ্ধির বিষয়কে ক্রোধ দিয়ে দণ্ড দেয়া বর্বরতা ।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora


“El destino del hombre es equivocarse, afanarse inútilmente y sufrir, pero lo que no puede es quedar estancado; sacrifica su vida en aras de lo que considera su deber.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora


“আমাদের ইচ্ছা যদি অন্যায় ইচ্ছা না হয় এবং সে ইচ্ছা যদি কোনো-একটা সমাজের নিয়মের সঙ্গে আগাগোড়া না মিলে যায় তা হলেই আমাদের মাথা হেঁট করে ফিরে যেতে হবে এ আমি কোনোমতেই বুঝতে পাড়ি নে । সমাজে মিথ্যা ব্যাবহারের স্থান আছে আর স্থান নেই ন্যায় আচরনের ?”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

Popular quotes

“Understanding dog-psychology is simple and there are only a few essential (yet very simple) things that you need to understand – but you need to understand them well! The photojournal format makes it conducive to offer helpful tactics, techniques, tips, and tricks that can be accompanied by illustrative photos (when necessary) that are spread throughout the book.”
― Yohai Reuben, quote from Sadie the German Shepherd Dog Puppy: How to House-Train your GSD without a Crate


“We humans
are so tortured
by not properly guessing
what will make us happy.”
― Atticus Poetry, quote from Love Her Wild


“There are only two forces at work in this world- black and white. Only people are grey.”
― Chris Heimerdinger, quote from Gadiantons and the Silver Sword


“Life shouldn’t be a lifetime of waiting.”
― Liu Cixin, quote from Death's End


“You're no man." "No," said Coyote. "I am his unflattering reflection." He shook his head. "I have outlived billions of gallons of blood, and you think I somehow delight in the spilling of a few more pints. You see my hand in the affairs of a few mortals and you think that I've but wound them up so I can watch them bounce off one another in the night. Never have you asked yourself why I might do such a thing--to what end this bloodshed might serve. The trouble with human beings is that when examining the actions of others, they always apply their own ethics and point of view., hoping to understand them in the context of what they might do and why they might do such a thing. When no answer lies in that examination, they always ascribe malice. Malice, you see, is the only thing people understand without explanation. You are born with it and thus come to expect it.”
― C. Robert Cargill, quote from Dreams and Shadows

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.
