“خلف الواجهة المسيحية نشأ دين سري جديد "الدين الصناعي" جذوره مغروسة في بنية الشخصية في المجتمع الحديث, وإن يكن غير معترف به كدين والدين الصناعي متعارض مع المسيحية الحقيقية اذ ينحدر الانسان الى خادم للاقتصاد وللآلة التي صنعها بيديه.
وللديانة الصناعية اساسها في الشخصية الاجتماعية الجديدة, ومركزها هو الخوف من السلطات الذكرية القوية والخضوع لها, وغرس الشعور بالذنب إذا خرج احد عن طاعتها, وحل روابط التضامن الإنساني بإعلاء المصلحة الذاتية وإذكاء العداء المتبادل, ولا قدسية في الحضارة الصناعية إلا للعمل, والملكية والربح والسلطة. وإن كانت قد نمت الفردية والحرية في حدود مبادئها العامة, واذ تحولت المسيحية إلى ديانة ابوية خالصة ظل من الممكن التعبير عن الديانة الصناعية بألفاظ ومصطلحات مسيحية.”
― Erich Fromm, quote from To Have or to Be? The Nature of the Psyche
“Bodies count, of course - they count more than we're willing to admit - but we don't fall in love with bodies, we fall in love with each other. We all know that, but the moment we go beyond a catalogue of surface qualities and appearances, words begin to fail us, to crumble apart in mystical confusions and cloudy, unsubstantial metaphors.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Oracle Night
“His English was exceptional. There was a glottal sound in his voice, but it was not harsh. I'd often asked him to help me with my sparse Arabic, trying to get my pronunciation of this or that word right. "Shukran." "Afwan." "Qumbula." Thank you. You're welcome. Bomb.”

“Ally placed her hands over her ears and changed, “La-la-la, not-listening-to-the-story-of-my-brother-proposing-while-doing-the-nasty-one-more-time, la-la-la.”

On the Jellicoe RoadBookQuoters 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.
