“A Queen is many things, but alone is never one of them.” She
held the brush, poised right above the canvas as if she meant to paint,
but she didn’t. “I don’t need love or a man to complete me, and
someday, you’ll find that’s true for yourself. Suitors will come and go,
but you will remain.”
― Amanda Hocking, quote from Torn
“أيها الشيطان التعس، ألا تعلم أن الرب لا يوجد في الأديرة بل في منازل البشر؟! انك حيثما تجد زوجاً وزوجة تجد هناك الرب، حيثما يوجد الأطفال والهموم الصغيرة والطبخ والمناقشات والمصالحات يوجد أيضاً الرب! لا تنصت الي أولئك الخصيان، انهم عنب حامض، الرب الذي أعنيه هو الأليف وليس الديري، هذا هو الرب الحقيقي! انه هو الجدير بعبادتك. دع الرب الآخر لأولئك البلهاء الكسالي العقيمين القابعين في الصحراء ... اذن فبغيتك الصحراء، أنت أيضا شهيتك مفتوحة لسف الرمال، أليس كذلك؟ ولكن أليست لك عينان يا ولدي الرائع؟ ألا تري كروم العنب والشمس والنساء؟ هيا اسمع كلامي، هيا الي مجدلة، هناك مكانك الصحيح! ألم تقرأ مرة الكتب المقدسة؟ الرب يقول: "لا أريد صوماً وصلاة، أريد لحماً" بعبارة أخري انه يريد منك أن تنجب له أطفالاً!”

“Not fitting is it that the Elder Children of Ilúvatar should wed the Younger; nor is it wise, for they are brief, and soon pass, to leave us in widowhood while the world lasts. Neither will fate suffer it, unless it be once or twice only, for some high cause of doom that we do not perceive. But this man is not Beren, even if he be both as fair and as brave. A doom lies on him; a dark doom. Enter not into it! And if you will, your love shall betray you to bitterness and death.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, quote from The Children of Húrin

“One part of love is innocence, One part of love is guilt, One part the milk, that in a sense Is soured as soon as spilt, One part of love is sentiment, One part of love is lust, One part is the presentiment Of our return to dust.” Eight lines, and it was all over;”

ControlBookQuoters 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.
