“I realized then that I was taking the first approach to this "bad thing" with Lionel: I was letting it crush me. And so, I decided then and there that I would choose the nobler, unflinching approach. I would endure the pain.”
― Richelle Mead, quote from The Glittering Court
“It seemed strange, the Muslim Maghrib prayer aboard a Viking ship full of atheists and pagans. Then again, Samirah's ancestors had been dealing with Vikings since the Middle Ages. I doubted this was the first time prayers to Allah had been said aboard a longship. The world, the worlds, were a lot more interesting because of constant intermixing.”
― Rick Riordan, quote from The Ship of the Dead
“Възпитателят на людете е длъжен не да предпазва от заблуда, а да ръководи заблуждаващия се, нещо повече, и да го оставя да пие от пълни чаши своите заблуди - ето къде е мъдростта на наставника. Който само вкуси от своята заблуда, дълго ще ѝ бъде привързан, дълго ще ѝ се радва като на рядко щастие, а който я изпие до дъно, непременно ще разбере, че се е заблуждавал, освен ако не е побъркан.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, quote from Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship
“In conclusion, it appears that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist, than a journey in distant countries.”

“Brunetti had once come across the term ‘compassion fatigue’, but thought that the oh-so-clever press had got it wrong, and the term should really be, ‘horror fatigue’.”

Moving PicturesBookQuoters 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.
