“I'm highly aware that some impulses are harder to ignore than others. I'm aware that fear of consequences causes us to guard our secrets. But it's our actions when faced with temptation that define who we are. It's our courage in admitting what we've done wrong that makes us forgivable.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Intertwined

“anymore time in that black hole and ill go insane.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Intertwined

“Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.”
― Oscar Wilde, quote from The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays
“Dolaşım aracı miktarının dolaşımdaki metaların fiyatlarının toplamı ve paranın ortalama el değiştirme hızı ile belirlenmesi yasası şöyle de ifade edilebilir: metaların değerlerinin toplamı ve başkalaşımlarının ortalama hızı veri ise, el değiştiren paranın ya da para maddesinin miktarı kendi değerine bağlı olur. Bunun tersinin geçerli olduğu, yani meta fiyatlarının dolaşım araçları miktarı ile ve bunun da bir ülkedeki para maddesinin miktarı ile belirlendiği yanılsaması, bunu ilk benimseyip savunanlar tarafından şu saçma hiptoteze dayandırılmıştı: dolaşım sürecine metalar fiyattan, para ise değerden yoksun olarak girer; fakat sonra, meta yığınının bir kısmı, metal yığınıın bir kısmıyla değiştirilmeye başlar.”

“I wonder what it feels like to have no desires left because you have satisfied them all, smothered them with money even before they are born. Is an existence without desire very desirable? And is the poverty of desire better than rank poverty itself?”

IncarnateBookQuoters 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.
