“Vaig començar a adonar-me que podia resultar molt senzilla, la vida, si s'entrava en una rutina regular, amb hores fixes, salari fix i poca necessitat de tenir idees originals. La vida d´un escriptor és l'infern, comparada amb la d'un executiu. L'escriptor s'ha de forçar a treballar. S'ha de fer l'horari, i si no s'asseu a la taula de treball ningú no l'esbronca. Viu en un món de temor. Cada dia exigeix idees noves, i no pot estar mai segur de si les podrà seguir o no. Dues hores d'escriure ficció el deixa completament sec. (....) La persona que vol ser escriptor és un beneit. L'única compensació és uqe té tota la llibertat. No té més amo que el seu propi esperit; i es per això que es fa escriptor, n'estic segur”

“Call laughed bitterly. “So you didn’t come near me because you didn’t want to blow my cover, and all that time, I didn’t even know I had a cover? That’s freaking hilarious.”
“I see nothing amusing about it.” Master Joseph didn’t change expression.”
― Holly Black, quote from The Iron Trial
“دمی با غم به سر بردن جهان یک سر نمیارزد
به می بفروش دلق ما کز این بهتر نمیارزد
به کوی می فروشانش به جامی بر نمیگیرند
زهی سجاده تقوا که یک ساغر نمیارزد
رقیبم سرزنشها کرد کز این باب رخ برتاب
چه افتاد این سر ما را که خاک در نمیارزد
شکوه تاج سلطانی که بیم جان در او درج است
کلاهی دلکش است اما به ترک سر نمیارزد
چه آسان مینمود اول غم دریا به بوی سود
غلط کردم که این طوفان به صد گوهر نمیارزد
تو را آن به که روی خود ز مشتاقان بپوشانی
که شادی جهان گیری غم لشکر نمیارزد
چو حافظ در قناعت کوش و از دنیی دون بگذر
که یک جو منت دونان دو صد من زر نمیارزد”
― Hafez, quote from The Divan
“Maybe time didn't heal wounds exactly, but it gave you a kind of armor, or a new perspective. A way to remember with a smile instead of a sob.”

The Land: FoundingBookQuoters 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.
