“The old man was peering intently at the shelves. 'I'll have to admit that he's a very competent scholar.'
Isn't he just a librarian?' Garion asked, 'somebody who looks after books?'
That's where all the rest of scholarship starts, Garion. All the books in the world won't help you if they're just piled up in a heap.”
― David Eddings, quote from King of the Murgos

“Zakon karme je neosebna energetska dinamika. Kadar so njene posledice posebljene, se pravi, ko jih doživlja osebnost s svojega zornega kota, jih doživlja kot preobrat v smeri, kot vračanje energije namena tistemu, ki ima namen. Tako osebnost doživlja neosebno dinamiko, ki jo opisuje tretji zakon kot "enako in nasprotno reakcijo". Oseba, ki namerava sovražiti druge, občuti, da jo drugi nameravajo sovražiti. Oseba, ki namerava ljubiti druge, občuti, da jo drugi nameravajo ljubiti, in tako dalje. To zlato pravilo je vedenjsko vodilo, ki temelji na dinamiki karme. Poosebljeno reklo karme bi bilo: "Od sveta sprejmeš to, kar svetu daš.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul
“I’m not sorry for intervening,” she said. “In fact, I’d do it again. But it seems like in choosing to do so, I surrendered my pacifist principles. Am I a hypocrite?” He laid a hand on her knee. “No, Eden. Not a hypocrite. You are a brave, beautiful woman, a guardian of pea . . . of life. You fought only when you had no other option. Truly honorable.”
― Karen Witemeyer, quote from To Win Her Heart
“And what’s the difference between us, that you’ll brush his sins aside and not my own?”
Maati smiled. “You aren’t him,” he said.
“And you love him.”
Maati took a pose of affirmation.
“And love is more important than justice,” Seedless said.
“Sometimes. Yes.”
Seedless smiled and nodded.
“What a terrible thought,” he said. “That love and injustice should be married.”
― Daniel Abraham, quote from A Shadow in Summer

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.
