“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
“Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting their souls by every means. They call the motive for their actions glory. On seeing these spectacles, I wanted to laugh with the others, but such a strange imitation was impossible, so I took a sharp-edged penknife and slit my flesh in the two places my lips joined.”
― Comte de Lautréamont, quote from Maldoror = Les Chants de Maldoror, together with a translation of Lautréamont's Poésies

...
بإرادة الروح
تأتي أشكال لا تعد و لا تحصى ..
و بسبب هذه الإرادة
لا أستطيع حتى أن أتكلم ..
بإرادة الروح
((أي روح القدس))
تأتي جميع الأرواح
اندمج في هذه الروح
و كن عظيما ..
يإرادة الروح
يكون الخير و الشر
و بها يكتب
الألم و السلام
للجميع .
للبعض ، تحضر
الهدايا الوفيرة
للبعض ، تودي
إلى تيه لا نهاية له
كل شئ موجود ضمن تلك الإرادة
.. لا شئ كاذب من ورائها
آه يا ناناك :
إذا فهمت
الإرادة الإلهية
لن تجد
(نفسك)
شئ لتقوله”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“Magnus gazed upon Camille. "Some of my fondest memories include lashings of cream and beautiful women.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale
“Falling in love often happens at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with the wrong person.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Surrender Your Love
“Once she tells me she wants me here I know this is where I will stay.” ~ Riley”
― T.H. Snyder, quote from Touch Me
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.
