― Niccolò Ammaniti, quote from I'll Steal You Away
“Questo ti volevo dire. Ho rotto il nostro patto ma forse é stato meglio così. Ora basta però, non ti voglio rattristare. Mia madre mi ha detto che sei bellissima e io lo sapevo. Quando eravamo piccoli ero sicuro che saresti diventata miss Italia. P.s. Preparati, che quando passo da Bologna ti prendo e ti porto via.”
― Niccolò Ammaniti, quote from I'll Steal You Away
“La cosa, si disse, sarebbe passata perché nella vita le cose passano sempre, come in un fiume. Anche quelle difficili che ti sembra impossibile superare, le superi, e in un attimo te le trovi alle spalle. Devi andare avanti. Ti aspettano cose nuove.”

― Niccolò Ammaniti, quote from I'll Steal You Away
“Je moet die mensen die zeggen dat je je de pleuris moet werken om de goede dingen van het leven te kunnen waarderen, niet geloven. Dat is niet waar. Die willen je naaien. Genot is een religie en het lichaam is de tempel.”

“Of babies born alive and in hospitals during that month of July 1945, 92 percent would die within then days.”

“It from bit.” It’s an unorthodox theory, which starts with the assumption that information
is at the root of all existence. When we look at the moon, a galaxy, or an atom, their essence, he claims, is in the information stored within them. But this information sprang into existence when the universe observed itself. He draws a circular diagram, representing the history of the universe. At the beginning of the universe, it sprang into being because it was observed. This means that “it” (matter in the universe) sprang into existence when information (“bit”) of the universe was observed. He calls this the “participatory
universe”—the idea that the universe adapts to us in the same way that we adapt to the universe, that our very presence makes the universe possible.”

The Shattering: Prel...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.
