“Neither blindness nor ignorance corrupts people and governments. They soon realize where the path they have taken is leading them. But there is an impulse within them, favored by their natures and reinforced by their habits, which they do not resist; it continues to propel them forward as long as they have a remnant of strength. He who overcomes himself is divine. Most see their ruin before their eyes; but they go on into it.1 Leopold von Ranke”
― Joachim Fest, quote from Hitler


“The need to magnify themselves, to bestir themselves, is characteristic of all illegitimates.”
― Joachim Fest, quote from Hitler


“Whether they represent us as clowns or criminals, the main thing is that they mention us, that they concern themselves with us again and again.”
― Joachim Fest, quote from Hitler


“Propaganda must above all be popular, he argued; it must not be aimed toward the intelligentsia but “always and exclusively to the masses,” and its level “must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to.”
― Joachim Fest, quote from Hitler

“زندگی میں ایک چیز ہوتی ہے جسے کمرامائز کہتے ہیں. پرسکون زندگی گزارنے کے لئیے اسکی ضرورت پڑتی ہے.جس چیز کو تم بدل نہ سکو اسکے ساتھ کمپرومائز کر لیا کرو مگر اپنی کسی بھی خواہش کو جنون مت بنایا کرو. زندگی میں کچھ چیزیں اسي ہیں جو ہمیں نہیں مل سکتيں. چاہے ہم روۓ چلائيں یا بچوں کی طرح ایڑیاں ‏رگڑیں کیونکے وہ کھخ دوسرے کے لیے ہوتی ہیں جیسے تمہارے پیرنٹس کسی اور کے پیرنٹس ہیں. تمہارا گھر کس اور کا گھر ہے مگر اسکا یہ مطلب نہیں کہ ہوتا کہ زندگی میں ہمارے لیے کچھ ہوتا ہی نہیں. کچہ نا کچھ ہمارے لیے بھی ہوتا ہے.”
― Umera Ahmed, quote from امربیل (Amar Bail)

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.
