“Hablaba conmigo en cuclillas junto a la cafetera,
que estaba en el suelo, y entonces parecía en tensión, lleno de muelles bajo los músculos morenos. Luego, inopinadamente, se tumbaba en la cama, fumando, relajadas las facciones como si el tiempo no tuviera valor, como si nunca hubiera de levantarse de allí. Casi como si se hubiera echado para morir fumando.”
― Carmen Laforet, quote from Nada
“The old seraph, parcel-gilded, among violets Inhaled the appointed odor, while the doves Rose up like phantoms from chronologies.”
― Wallace Stevens, quote from The Collected Poems
“Every American who served in Iraq helped to make our nation safer, gave twenty-five million people the chance to live in freedom, and changed the direction of the Middle East for generations to come. There are things we got wrong in Iraq, but that cause is eternally right.”
― George W. Bush, quote from Decision Points
“I've been a young man. Boobs are near the center of the universe, until you turn twenty-five or so. Which is also when young men's auto insurance rates go down.
This is not a coincidence.”

“Alexis, with your camera, you can change the world. You can fight wars and end them. You can make heroes and destroy them. You can shine a light on injustice.”

Krampus: The Yule Lo...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.
