“Why do we so mindlessly abuse our planet, our only home? The answer to that lies in each of us. Therefore, we will strive to bring about understanding that we are--each one of us--responsible for more than just ourselves, our family, our football team, our country, or our own kind; that there is more to life than just these things. That each one of us must also bring the natural world back into its proper place in our lives, and realize that doing so is not some lofty ideal but a vital part of our personal survival.”
― Lawrence Anthony, quote from Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo
“Ставаше мъчна и даже неприятна за гледане. Седеше си там, върху стената на двора, да си смуче косите и да отговаря зле на всеки, който я доближаваше. „Ей, Бяло пиперче”, прегръщах я. И все едно прегръщах една непоколебима гордост, най-малко примамливата част от самата мен. Онази безкрайно твърда скала, която никога не би позволила някой да ме обича безрезервно. Себина бе в състояние да достигне до моята самота, бяхме еднакви. Високомерни и глупави. Залепваше се за врата ми, носех я у дома при майка й, краката, увиснали до тялото ни нагоре по стълбите. Вече оздравяла, мракът се беше разсеял. Никога не съм била от онези хора, имащи усет за децата, нямам това търпение, не говоря с детско гласче. Но Себина беше друг случай. Божи дар, предвестница на любовта. Виждам отново площадката, където спирах да си поема дух между етажите, защото тежеше, сивия вътрешен двор през високия лъскав прозорец, помръкващата вече светлина ... а на врата ми тя, нейният дъх, нейната мистерия.”
― Margaret Mazzantini, quote from Twice Born
“Some of my ideas get enlarged almost before I have them.”
― Elizabeth Bowen, quote from The Death of the Heart
“They are all innocent until proven guilty. But not me. I am a liar until I am proven honest.”
― Louise O'Neill, quote from Asking For It
“It's funny how different people are. If I'd been this kid and someone was snarling "Ordering a pizza?" at me, without even thinking, I would have snarled back "Yeah. You want pepperoni?"
-Maximum Ride”

Ida B. . . and Her P...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.
