"Does what get heavy?"
"That big head you lug around 24/7, 365." Sally patted Jen on the back. "It just seems like maybe your neck or back would begin to hurt at some point."
"Wow, Sally. I'm impressed you aren't just going for a psychology degree! Right now you seem to be running for mayor of 'I think I'm funny' town.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Just One Drop
“I hadn't even been looking, not for you, and now you were my heart's desire.”
― Daniel Handler, quote from Why We Broke Up
“- أتكون الزنديق الذي يصفه بعضهم؟
- إني أحذر تفاني الأتقياء، لكني لم أقل يوماً إن الواحد الصمد اثنان
- هل خطر ذلك على بالك يوماً ؟
- أبداً، والله شهيد عليّ
- هذا يكفيني، وهو يكفي الخالق على ما أظن، لكنه لا يكفي العامة، إنهم يتربصون بأقوالك وبكل حركاتك، كما يتربصون بأقوالي وحركاتي، وبأقوال الأمراء وحركاتهم.”
― Amin Maalouf, quote from Samarkand
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.
