“The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it”
― Frank E. Peretti, quote from House
“The light came into the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it, but that no longer mattered because the light was now obliteration the darkness.”
― Frank E. Peretti, quote from House

“Most people are quite dense. They like little white houses with big stained-glass churches and prefer to do their killing with looks and words behind one another's backs."
He paused.
"Welcome to my house. No secrets allowed. Here we all do our killing with guns and axes and knives. It's more bloody than what most people are accustomed to, yes, but it's far less brutal.”

“إحدى المشاكل الكبيرة لقارتنا-أكد مرة بعد أخرى-هي الواقع الذي لايدحض،إن القسم الأعظم من الشعب الإفريقي هو،في حد ذاته أكثر عنصرية من الكولونياليين أنفسهم.قبائل جيران،أخوة تقريبا،يكنون لبعضهم الضغينة والإحتقار،والآن بقدوم الإستقلال يظهرون بوضوح أن الدهمائي ليس لديه عدو أسوأ من الدهمائي نفسه الذي يتكلم لهجة أخرى .لن نرتكب الخطأ ذاته.أنتم الذين ستحكمون هذه الامة ليكن واضحاً أمامكم،أن البدو والطوارق وقبائل الجبال ليسوا في مستوى أدنى،إنما مختلفون فحسب....مختلفون .”

“To my surprise, the toilet began to play music. It was probably supposed to be comforting, some sort of melody to soothe you while you pooped, but the whole idea of a musical toilet just weirded me out.”
― Stuart Gibbs, quote from Spy Ski School
“I know this disbelief I feel, the disbelief on the others’ faces, is a survival mechanism. You draw a line in the sand and say you won’t cross it, you won’t believe or do a particular thing. But once you’ve grown accustomed to the unbelievable, or you’ve done what you’ve sworn you’d never do, you redraw the line a little farther back. You let the waves wash the first away like it never existed.”

The Master and Marga...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.
