“Muzykę rockową grają głównie mężczyźni. Ekspresja jest agresywnie męska. Obserwator z zewnątrz powinien zatem szybko zorientować się, że rock nie jet knapsu. Ale temu należy przeciwstawić fakt, że brzdąkane nie jest żadną porządną pracą. Dzień w lesie i gość będzie sikał krwią. Również śpiewanie uważano za niemęskie, przynajmniej w okolicach Pajali i w stanie trzeźwym. A już robić to po angielsku, w języku zdecydowanie za miękkim dla twardych fińskich szczęk, tak zwiotczałym, że tylko dziewczyny mogły mieć z niego piątki, w tym ślimakowatym szwargocie, drżącym i wilgotnym, wynalezionym przez chodzących w błocie mieszkańców wybrzeża, którzy nigdy nie musieli walczyć, którzy nigdy nie głodowali i nie marzli, mowie dla obiboków, trawożerców, leniuchów pierdzących w kanapy, mowie całkowicie pozbawionej rześkości, do tego stopnia, że język flaczeje w ustach jak odcięty napletek.”
― Mikael Niemi, quote from Popular Music from Vittula
“They are a testament not only to the Afghans' hunger for literacy, but also to their willingness to pour scarce resources into this effort, even during a time of war. I have seen children studying in classrooms set up inside animal sheds, windowless basements, garages, and even an abandoned public toilet. We ourselves have run schools out of refugee tents, shipping containers, and the shells of bombed-out Soviet armored personnel carriers. The thirst for education over there is limitless. The Afghans want their children to go to school because literacy represents what neither we not anyone else has so far managed to offer them: hope, progress, and the possibility of controlling their own destiny.”
― Greg Mortenson, quote from Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan
“I need a bathroom. And there are way too many people around here for us to”

“Everyone has connections. For some it's family, like my brother and I. For some it's friendship, like you and Wes. And for others, it's something much more powerful, something yet to be seen.”

“The price for using dark magic is death, so that goes a long way toward deterring users.”

FatedBookQuoters 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.
