“You yourself are more responsible for how you are accepted than anyone else. Many people worry about what other people will think of them. But few realize that the world forms its opinion of us, largely from the opinion we have of ourselves.”
“People judge you not only by the value you put on yourself…they judge you by the value you put on other things: your job, your work, even your competition.”
“Negative talk and negative opinions give a bad impression.”
“Never knock the other fellow or the other fellow’s product if you want to make a good impression. Instead, boost your own product.”
“But we like to have somebody that we can be ourselves with, someone we can afford to be ourselves with, because we know we will be accepted.”
“No one has the power to reform another person, but by liking the other person as he is, you give him the power to change himself.”
“You have heard on the radio or television or in the movies the words “lights, camera, action.”
“Remember that your very first words, actions, and attitudes invariably sound the keynote.”
“He said that it was okay to not be okay. He explained that it was fine to be broken for a while, to not feel anything but hurt.”
“I needed to hear the world but didn't want the world to know I was listening.”
“Just like when there's a time that a smart person knows enough is enough, there's a time when you know you've got to fight.”
“Se mai potrò, affiggerò sopra St.Louis un avviso per tutti i sicari professionisti."
"E cosa ci scriverai?"
"'Qui c'è una bastarda più grossa e più cattiva di voi.”
“My love is something valuable to me which I ought not to throw away without reflection.”
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.
