“That’s what you were trying to say, isn’t it? I mean, I think … mostly we’re too busy living to stop and notice we’re alive. But that sometimes we do. And that that makes the rest of it matter.”

― James Patterson, quote from Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life


“إن الأزمة العميقة للهوية البشرية التي سببتها الحياة "في الكذب", والحياة التي أسست عليها لها بالتأكيد بعد أخلاقي: يظهر هذا البعد كأزمة أخلاقية عميقة في المجتمع, إن الإنسان الذي سقط في منظومة القيم الإستهلاكية, وانصهر في مزيج القافلة الحضارية, ولم ينخرط في نظام الوجود بناء على شعوره بمسؤولية أعلى من مسؤوليته عن البقاء كفرد يعد إنسان منزوع الأخلاق. يعتمد النظام على هذا الإنعدام الأخلاقي ويعمقه كمخرج اجتماعي له.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless

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.
