“DUMBLEDORE: Harry, there is never a perfect answer in this messy, emotional world. Perfection is beyond the reach of humankind, beyond the reach of magic. In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
― John Tiffany, quote from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II

“Most of the time, I think you have to make a choice—at a certain point—of the man you want to be. And I will tell you at that time you need a parent or a friend. And if you've learnt to hate your parent by then and you have no friends...then you're all alone. And being alone—that's so hard."
-Draco Malfoy”
― John Tiffany, quote from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II
“GINNY: After I came out of hospital — everyone ignored me, shut me out — other than, that is, the boy who had everything — who came across the Gryffindor common room and challenged me to a game of Exploding Snap. People think they know all there is to know about you, but the best bits of you are — have always been — heroic in really quiet ways. My point is — after this is over, just remember if you could that sometimes people — but particularly children — just want someone to play Exploding Snap with.”

― John Tiffany, quote from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II
“SCORPIUS: I can’t quite believe I did that.
ALBUS: I can’t quite believe you did that either.
SCORPIUS: Rose Granger-Weasley. I asked out Rose Granger-Weasley.
ALBUS: And she said no.
SCORPIUS: But I asked her. I planted the acorn. The acorn that will grow into our eventual marriage.
ALBUS: You are aware that you’re an utter fantasist.”

“Guilt washes over me when I think of the wasted years and how blind I was to my own faults. It has been hard to confess. I am so thankful to now know my place as my husband’s helper and friend.”
― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet
“إذ قفز عقلي كي يدرك أنّنا أيضاً ننظر إلى الزمان والمكان كأمرين مسلّم بهما بالرغم من أنّ الموت يأخذنا إلى ما وراءهما. وفهمت أنّ ما أدعوه بالوجود يعني الوجود في الزمان والمكان وأنّ هذا الكون من زمان ومكان ليس مطلقاً. فجأة أصبح كل شيء عبثياً. إذ للمرة الأولى يعتريني شهور فظيع بالضعف والافتقار إلى الإحساس بالأمان، وأدركت أنّ كل شيء موجود في هذا الكون ومسلّم به قابل للنقاش، وأنّ كل شيء يمكن أن يكون مجرد حيلة. وباعتباري مفكراً، فقد انتابتني العادة الرومانسية بالشعور أنّ العقل يقع خارج حدود مصادفات الجسد وأنّه أبدي وحرّ، وأنّ الجسد ربما يكون تافهاً أو خاصاً. إلا أنّ العقل شامل وعام. إنّ هذا الشعور يجعل العقل مراقباً أبدياً بعيداً عن الخوف. فجأة فكرت فيما لو كان الكون اعباطياً، فإنّ عقلي يصبح قابلاً للتدمير تماماً مثل جسدي. تلك هي النقطة التي يتذكر عندها المرء ساعات المرض والهذيان، عندما يبدو العقل أقل ديمومة من الجسد وعندما يشك المرء في أنّ خشونة الجسد في التي تمنع العقل من التفسّخ.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“Worst of all were the accolades and thanks from people "for what you guys did over there." Thanks for what, I wanted to ask—shooting kids, cowering in terror behind a berm, dropping artillery on people's homes?”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
“Certaines relations harmonieuses se créent et durent grâce à un système complexe de menues contre-vérités, de renoncements, une espèce de ballet complice d'attitudes et de postures qui peut se résumer dans un proverbe jamais assez cité, ou plutôt une sentence, cette désignation lui convenant beaucoup mieux, Toi et moi nous savons, mais tais-toi et je me tairai. (ch. 5)”
― José Saramago, quote from The History of the Siege of Lisbon
“No.
You know this is wrong and you want to feel better about it.
You don't want to admit your as ruthless and monstrous as the demons you claim to hate.”

The Best Laid PlansBookQuoters 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.
