“It’s a mother’s greatest joy and greatest burden, having children to worry about. You can’t have one without the other.”
― M.K. Eidem, quote from Grim
“She waited until both girls nod.”
― M.K. Eidem, quote from Grim
“you can’t have love and not at some time hurt. You can’t be happy and not have some sadness. It is called life, you have to live it. The good and the bad Grim.” “I”
― M.K. Eidem, quote from Grim
“She's not going to let go until she sees for herself that there's nothing left to hold on to.”
― Susane Colasanti, quote from Take Me There
“The destruction of the world depends on the willingness of the people in it to harm each other in any way necessary to achieve their own ends and to further their own causes. And we got that part down pat, don’t we? We know how to hurt each other and how to think up whatever excuses we need to justify it. We’re victims and executioners both.”
― Terry Brooks, quote from Running with the Demon
“You went through hell and lived. That leaves marks”
― Simon Holt, quote from Soulstice
“Направление в будущее есть в действительности направление возрастания энтропии. Стрела времени — факт, что события начинаются так и заканчиваются эдак, но никогда не начинаются эдак и заканчиваются так, — начинает свой полёт из высокоупорядоченного, низкоэнтропийного состояния Вселенной в её начале.”
― Brian Greene, quote from The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality
“Hiding from the monsters only made them stronger.”
― C.L. Wilson, quote from Crown of Crystal Flame
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.
