“Fish and company start to smell after three days.”
― quote from Leviathan Wakes

“إذا صــــمت صديقـــــك ولم يتكــــلم, فلا ينقــــطع قـــــلبك عن الإصــــغاء إلى

صـــــوت قـــلبه;

لأن الــــصداقة لا تحتـــــاج إلى الألفــــاظ والعـــــبارات في إنمــاء جـــميع
...
الأفكــــار والرغـــــبات والتــــمنيات

التــــي يشـــترك الأصدقــــاء بـــــفرح عـــــظيم في قـــــطف ثمــــــارها

اليانعـــــات....

وإن فـــــارقت صديقـــــك فــــــلا تحـــــزن على فــــراقه;

لأن ما تتعشــــقه فيه, أكثر من كـــــل شيء ســـــواه....

قـــد يكون فــــي حين غـــــيابه أوضـــــح في عينـــــي محـــــبتك منه فـــــي

حــــين حـــــضوره....

لأن الجــــبل يــــبدو لــــمن ينظر إلــــيه من الســــهل أكثر وضـــــوحا مما

يظـــــهر لمن يتســـــلقه.......”
― Kahlil Gibran, quote from The Broken Wings

“And even though I adore the fact that Francesca has Ben's eyes, I also see now that her biological connection to us is irrelevant. She is her own little person. She is Francesca. If we weren't her "natural" parents, we would still have loved her just as much.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from What Alice Forgot

“The pathway to hell was paved with good intentions, but what about the wrongs committed for the right reasons? Were they included as well? Life had taught him that anything that starts wrong, ends wrong. In this case, he supposed that only time and its unpredictable mercies would tell. - Percy”
― Leila Meacham, quote from Roses

“To achieve accurate knowledge of others, if such a thing were possible, we could only ever arrive at it through the slow and unsure recognition of our own initial optical inaccuracies. However, such knowledge is not possible: for, while our vision of others is being adjusted, they, who are not made of mere brute matter, are also changing; we think we have managed to see them more clearly, but they shift; and when we believe we have them fully in focus, it is merely our older images of them that we have clarified, but which are themselves already out of date.”
― Marcel Proust, quote from In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters 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.
