“The noise kept up and did not stop. My head rang. I saw Shepherd take the chewing gum from his mouth, break it into two, and stick it in both ears. He kept working.”
― Kenneth Oppel, quote from Starclimber
“Čovjek je životinja u svojoj pojedinačnoj osamljenosti savršeno tužna, u prirodi, moglo bi se reći, gotovo deplasirana! U stadu živeći već prilično dugo, čovjek je čovjeku čovjek, okrutniji naime od svake druge zvijeri. Bestidna, lažljiva, glupa, zlobna i majmunska zvijer! Najsmješnija među životinjskim vrstama je sigurno vrsta majmunska, a koliko je majmun bliži neposrednom i logičnom životu od čovjeka? Poslije opice (koja u svakom pogledu zaostaje za drugim životinjama), čovjek je životinja najmajmunskija! Ta zvijer je proždrljivija od hijene, jer hijena prežderana strvinom može pokraj smrdljivog mesa da zaspi, dok čovjek, koji se prežderao toliko, da mu se od sitosti diže utroba - još uvijek ždere i, promatrajući oko sebe druge, gladne, sebi slične životinje, oblizuje se zadovoljno.”
― Miroslav Krleža, quote from The Return of Philip Latinowicz
“It’s important to let go of your guilt. Life puts us in situations so that we can learn from them. Once we have learned, it’s time to throw away the guilt and move on,”
― Ashwin Sanghi, quote from The Rozabal Line
“All right, Chief Killian." She allowed herself an airy gesture at the forward visual display. "That away—full military power.”
― David Weber, quote from On Basilisk Station
“Is that all?" asked Flambeau after a long pause. "Have we got to the dull truth at last?"
"Oh, no," said Father Brown.
As the wind died in the most distant pine woods with a long hoot as of mockery Father Brown, with an utterly impassive face, went on:
"I only suggested that because you said one could not plausibly connect snuff with clockwork or candles with bright stones. Ten false philosophies will fit the universe; ten false theories will fit Glengyle Castle. But we want the real explanation of the castle and the universe. But are there no other exhibits?"
Craven laughed, and Flambeau rose smiling to his feet and strolled down the long table.
[Ch.6]”

Tibetan Book of the...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.
