“Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought. —Henri Bergson”
― David Allen, quote from Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
“فلم يخطر ببالي في تلك الأيام قط أن أفكر في حبي للعمل في المطبخ أو عدمه. فإن أعددت قدراً كبيراً من الأرز و واحدةً أصغر من الحساء، فلم أفكر في مقدار التعب الذي يهدّ جسمي، بل شعرا بالسعادة لأن هذا الطعام سيدخل أفواه أطفالي، إنك على الأرجح لا تتخيلين الآن مايعنيه هذا ، ولكننا في ذلك الوقت من الماضي كنت دائمي القلق من أن ينفد الطعام منا. فقد شكل تأمين الطعام والبقاء على قيد الحياة أهم غاية لنا. أخبرتك أمك وهي تبتسم أنها تعتبر تلك الأيام أسعد أيام حياتها.”
― Kyung-Sook Shin, quote from Please Look After Mom
“So my sister dances and the dead house burns, and I scrawl these few last words by the light of its burning. I know I should toss this story, too, on those flames. But I am still too much a storyteller -or at least a storykeeper-still too much my father's daughter to burn these pages.”
― Jean Hegland, quote from Into the Forest
“It is hard to be angry when one has seen the sun rise,' she said.
It seems to be true,' he admitted. 'I wonder why.'
Because it makes one feel so small and insignificant. It has been rising forever and will rise forever no matter what we do or do not do. All our problems are as nothing to the sun.”
― David Gemmell, quote from Sword in the Storm
“Zee replies grimly, 'I understand that problem...Buns is a force of nature.'
'She is,' I say with a reluctant smile, 'you're kind of screwed, dude. She's definitely got her own ideas.'
Zee grins too. 'Do not laugh too hard, playa, yours is a Throne..karma...' he says, noddin' his head before grimacin' and addin', 'ouch'.
My smile broadens involuntarily. 'Zee, when did you become funny?' I ask.
'It is difficult to be funny in Human,' he says, before lookin' at his watch and than graspin' the cover of the portal computer. 'Learn my language and you will think I am hysterical.”

River CastBookQuoters 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.
