“جهان عشق است و دیگر زرق سازی
همه بازی ست الا عشق بازی
فلک جز عشق محرابی ندارد
جهان بی خاک عشق آبی ندارد
غلام عشق شو اندیشه این است
همه صاحبدلان را پیشه این است
دلی کز عشق خالی شد فسرده ست
گرش صد جان بُوَد بی عشق مرده ست
مبین در عقل کان سلطان جان است
قدم در عشق نه کان جان ِ جان است
ز سوز عشق خوش تر در جهان نیست
که بی او گل نخندید، ابر نگریست
طبایع جز کشش کاری ندارند
حکیمان این کشش را عشق خوانند
گر اندیشه کنی از راه بینش
به عشق است ایستاده آفرینش
چو من بی عشق خود را جان ندیدم
دلی بفروختم، جانی خریدم
کمر بستم به عشق این داستان را
صلای عشق در دادم جهان را”
― Nizami Ganjavi, quote from Layla and Majnun
“I have no desire to cherish each person's bullshit and call it a beautiful snowflake.”

I Only Have Eyes for...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.
