“A trap is only a trap if you don't know about it. If you know about it, it's a challenge.”
― China Miéville, quote from King Rat
“– Один плюс один равняется одному, твою мать, – сказал он и тяжело обрушил флейту на челюсть Дудочника. Тот отшатнулся, но не упал. – Я не крыса плюс человек, усек? Я больше, чем один из двух, и я больше, чем оба. Я новое существо. Ты не заставишь меня танцевать.”
― China Miéville, quote from King Rat
“Я больше, чем сумма моих составляющих.”
― China Miéville, quote from King Rat
“Saul was going to kill Anansi.
They both knew it. Saul was going to kill Anansi and Loplop and King Rat, and Saul was going to die, all in an effort to prove that he was not his rat-father's son.”
― China Miéville, quote from King Rat
“Le lapidi erano banali, parevano chiedere scusa ai defunti.”

“No matter how good your kid is, sometimes life has a way of bringing shit to them that no one can foresee or protect against. If that happens to Kylie, I’ll just have to be there to help her get through it.”

“Even Austrian landladies recognise the hand of destiny at work.”
― Susanna Kearsley, quote from The Splendour Falls
“Ya casi no se escucha, afortunadamente, aquello de que la historia es infalible. A esta altura, bien sabemos que la historia se equivoca, se distrae, se duerme, se pierde. Nosotros la hacemos, y ella se nos parece. Pero ella es también, como nosotros, imprevisible. Con la historia humana ocurre lo mismo que ocurre con el fútbol: lo mejor que tiene es la capacidad de sorpresa. Contra todo pronóstico, contra toda evidencia, el chiquito pega a veces tremendo baile al grandote invencible.”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from Upside Down: A Primer for the Looking-Glass World
“You’d be the exception, you know. With you, it would be real, not an escape.”

The Solitaire Myster...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.
