“And herein lies the tragedy of the age: not that men are poor,—all men know something of poverty; not that men are wicked,—who is good? not that men are ignorant,—what is Truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men.”
― W.E.B. Du Bois, quote from The Souls of Black Folk
“Sentirse solo no es sentirse inferior, sino distinto. El sentimiento de soledad no es una ilusión —como a veces lo es el de inferioridad— sino la expresión de un hecho real: somos, de verdad, distintos. Y, de verdad, estamos solos.”
― Octavio Paz, quote from The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings
“Eu, Darrell Standing, hoje sorrio para mim mesmo no Corredor da Morte por ter sido considerado culpado e condenado à morte por doze jurados respeitáveis e honestos. Doze sempre foi um número mágico do Mistério. Mas esse número não se originou nas doze tribos de Israel. Antes delas, já os contempladores de estrelas colocaram nos céus os doze signos do Zodíaco. E lembro que, quando fui um aesir e depois um vanir, Odin sentava-se para julgar os homens numa assembléia de doze deuses e seus nomes eram Tor, Baldur, Njrd, Freya, Tyr, Brogi, Heimdall, Hdr, Vidar, Ull, Forseti e Loki. Até mesmo nossas valquírias nos foram roubadas e transformadas em anjos e as asas dos cavalos das valquírias se prenderam aos ombros dos anjos. E o nosso Helheim daquela época de gelo e frio tomou-se o inferno de hoje, que é uma morada tão quente que o sangue ferve em nossas veias; enquanto o nosso Helheim era tão frio que o tutano se congelava dentro dos nossos ossos.”

The FinisherBookQuoters 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.
