“As sure as the seabirds in flight,
As sure as the endless deep blue,
My love is as certain as sunrise.
I vow it will keep us both true.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, quote from Rogue Wave
“De rust waarvan ik in een bibliotheek zo geniet bestaat niet alleen uit stilte. Al dat papier dempt ieder geluid, maar ook het ruisen van mijn gedachten. Hun ongedurigheid vindt troost in de overmacht aan kennis langs de wanden. Die is zoveel groter dan ooit in mijn hoofd zal passen. Dat kalmeert me en herinnert mij eraan dat ik niet per se alles hoef te weten en begrijpen. Zoveel is al opgeschreven en ik heb het allemaal binnen handbereik. Daar hoef ik mij dus niet meer mee bezig te houden. Zelfs al zal ik nooit meer dan een fractie van al die feiten tot mij kunnen nemen, ze zijn er, het staat er, de wereld is gerubriceerd, en als ik er eens nodig iets uit moet begrijpen kan ik het opslaan. Als de werkelijkheid zo onder controle en verifieerbaar is, kan ik haar makkelijker loslaten. Misschien is dit wel het nut van al die schrijvers, dat zij vastleggen wat buiten mij is zodat ik mij, zolang ik me met hen omring, kan wijden aan wat in mij leeft.”
― Arthur Japin, quote from In Lucia's Eyes
“Alec raised his eyebrows and looked very confused. "Wait. They don't mean it's okay, and that I don’t have to worry about it? Why would they say that if they don't mean it?" Nico shrugged. "I think it's some sort of mind trick. They use that sentence as an illusion that things between you are okay, but when you least expect it, they will strike like a cobra and wound your soul.”
― L.A. Casey, quote from Alec
“Devil, worked with Henry Allen and the day laborers, and it”

“I want to say something but shame
prevents me
yet if you had a desire for good or beautiful things
and your tongue were not concocting some evil to say,
shame would not hold down your eyes
but rather you would speak about what is just”

HourglassBookQuoters 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.
