“Fifteen years ago, this would have been insider trading, but that quaint concept had disappeared a decade or two ago when so many brokers were doing it that it was impossible to jail them all. Now it was called smart trading.”
― Max Barry, quote from Jennifer Government
“Companies were getting a lot tougher on labor contracts these days; Hack had heard stories. At Adidas, if you quit your job and your replacement wasn't as competent, they sued you for lost profits.”
― Max Barry, quote from Jennifer Government
“It was turning into a sly, anti–free market statement, and irony irritated him. There was no place for irony in marketing: it made people want to look for deeper meaning. There was no place in marketing for that, either.”
― Max Barry, quote from Jennifer Government
“Companies claimed to be highly responsive, Jennifer thought, but you only had to chase a screaming man through their offices to realize it wasn't true.”

“Когато Аларик говореше, бе достатъчно опасен. А когато мълчеше, бе смъртоносен. Жрецът се взираше в него, без да мига и изглеждаше почти нечовешки в своето спокойствие. Ако някога някой мъж бе изглеждал неподходящ за свещеничество, то Конлан би назовал Аларик. Жрецът беше висок, колкото него, а силното му мускулесто тяло подхождаше на смъртоносната заплаха в очите му. Никой ученик обаче не би го потърсил, за да му разкаже история за детинските си пакости в изповедалнята, това бе сигурно. И все пак се говореше, че повече от една жена, съблазнена от тъмната красота на Аларик, таи надежда да убеди мрачния жрец да... кривне... от обета за безбрачие.”

The Glass PalaceBookQuoters 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.
