About the author

Popular quotes

“With knowledge of the diagrams you will be able to interpret many of the new feelings, sensations, ideas that will come to your mind, and transfer this interpretation to the ordinary mind. Without diagrams you will not be able to do it. They are the intermediate language which will connect the language of the higher emotional centre with our ordinary centres. At the same time this language is a kind of ladder by which we can climb from ordinary thinking to the thinking of higher emotional centre.”
― P.D. Ouspensky, quote from The Fourth Way

“Ben Franklin advises his grandson not to let even the American Revolution interrupt his studies, urging of young adulthood, "This is the time of life in which you are to lay the foundations of your future improvement and of your importance among men. If this season is neglected, it will be like cutting off the spring from the year.”
― H.W. Brands, quote from The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin

“Now, I don’t know if you can appreciate this without actually knowing her, but getting Mrs. Stricker to laugh is like getting an octopus to stand up on two legs.”
― James Patterson, quote from Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life

“توجد في داخل كل إنسان حياة بكل معانيها الوجودية:
في داخل كل منا جزء من رغبة في الكرامة البشرية, والشرف الأخلاقي, والخبرات الوجودية الحرة, وكمال العالم.
لكن لدى كل منا في نفس الوقت وبدرجات متفاوتة القدرة على التأقلم مع الحياة المزيفة, كلنا بطريقة ما يسقط في المادية الفاحشة والمصلحة الشخصية, في كل منا شيء من رغبة في الذوبات في جمع مجهول, ينساب معه بسعادة عبر مجرى حياة زائفة.
فالأمر ليس إذن صراع بين هويتين.
إنه شيء أسوأ من ذلك: إنها أزمة الهوية نفسها.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless

“With mindfulness we have the choice of responding with compassion to the pain of craving, anger, fear and confusion. Without mindfulness we are stuck in the reactive pattern and identification that will inevitably create more suffering and confusion.”
― Noah Levine, quote from Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries

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.
