“A što može da očekuje od tih ljudi? Možda sažaljenje? To je jedino što mu ne treba i što mu nikad nije trebalo. Saučešće koje su mu ponekad pokazivali rijetki dobri i plemeniti ljudi za njega je samo mjera njegove zle sreće i besprimjernog poniženja. I za pokojnike sažaljenje je teško i uvredljivo, a kako ga je tek snositi još zdrav i svjestan svega, živ gledati u oči živim ljudima, da bi u njima pročitao samo jedno: sažaljenje?”
― Ivo Andrić, quote from Prokleta avlija
“This girl will shred me. I already know she will. And I’m jumping in with everything I am anyway.”

“Hopefully when he moved his things out of the apartment, he at least took his CDs. I mean, we might be gay, but… Enya? Really?”
― Julie James, quote from Something About You
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.
