“Estoy pasando por un cambio total de mi carácter. Odio la inestabilidad. Me asusta la idea de ver mi vida desorganizada.”

“after all that I had read during the night. Even into this quiet place the war had reached like the tentacle of an octopus and had touched this girl and brought about her death. Like some infernal monster, still venomous in death, a war can go on killing people for a long time after it’s all over.”

“To su zapravo sve pločice dječijih igračaka, religija, božićnih bedastoća, idila koje uznse KULT ČISTE LAŽI, a iza svega toga proviruje roba: kupujte margarin, čokoladu, naranče, vaniliju, sukno, gumilje! Ljudi su izmislili tapete, sagove, parkete, cijevi s ugrijanom vodom, staklena vrata, zlatne ribice, kaktuse i čitave izloge knjiga po svojim stanovima, koje nitko ne čita. Ljudi su nagomilali pod svojim krovovima kitajsku majoliku, akvarele, damastne stolnjake, svilene čarape, krzna i dragulje. Ljudi lakiraju svoje nokte kao perverzni istočnjaci, kupaju se u mramornim kupaonicama, voze se ugrijanim kočijama, piju gorke želučane likere, ali pojma zapravo nemaju ŠTO JE TO ŽIVOTNA STVARNOST I KAKO BI JE TREBALO ŽIVJETI?”

Lonesome DoveBookQuoters 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.
