Popular quotes

“As for the myths, take anyone's life and deny that most of it is deliberate self-delusion - an aggrandizement - a mixture of lies and truth, of what was wanted and what was had, producing the necessary justification for having been granted life in the first place. I was struck like a match, Lily wrote. I had no option but to burn.
You can put a period after that. Lily did. It was the story of her life.”
― Timothy Findley, quote from The Piano Man's Daughter

“Круг се поддаде на нежния топъл напор на сълзите, с присъщата за това действие наслада. Чувството не облекчение не продължи дълго, защото едва им бе разрешил да потекат, и те рукнаха, безмилостно горещи и обилни, замъглиха очите му и го задавиха. Обгърнат от спазматична мъгла, той вървеше по павираната „Обожемой Лейн“ към брега. Опита да се поизкашля, но това само предизвика нов конвулсивен пристъп на сълзи. Вече съжаляваше, че се бе поддал на изкушението, защото не можеше да върне назад своето отстъпление и треперещият човек в него бе залят от сълзи. Както обикновено, той различаваше треперещия от наблюдателя: гледащ със загриженост, със съчувствие, с въздишка или с вежливо удивление. Това бе последното убежище на ненавистния му дуализъм. Корен квадратен от Аз е равен на Аз. Бележки под линия, незабравки. От някакъв абстрактен бряг другоземецът спокойна наблюдава течението на местната скръб. Позната фигура, макар анонимна и отчуждена. Той видя, че хлипам, когато бях десетгодишен, и ме отведе до едно огледало в някаква необитаема стая (с празна клетка за папагал в ъгъла), за да разгледам внимателно своето размиващо се лице. Повдигнал вежди, той слушаше как говоря неща, които изобщо нямах право да говоря. Във всяка от маските, които изпробвах, имаше прорези за неговите очи. Дори в миговете, когато бивах разтърсван от конвулсии, най-високо ценени от мъжа. Моят спасител. Моят свидетел. И Круг бръкна в джоба за кърпичката си, неясно бяло петно някъде в глъбините на неговата лична нощ. Измъквайки се най-после от лабиринта на джобовете, той попи и изтри тъмното небе и обезформените къщи, и видя, че наближава моста.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, quote from Bend Sinister

“He stopped. “You're upset. I'll shut up and leave you”
― Iris Johansen, quote from The Killing Game

“Be honest with yourself; set the alarm for the time the Real You will get up, not the Ambitious You, because the Ambitious You doesn't really exist.”
― Laurie Notaro, quote from Autobiography of a Fat Bride: True Tales of a Pretend Adulthood

“Very little of what he learned of people’s actions began or ended with either the noble ideals or the fiendish wickedness he had been taught lay behind all great struggles. There was something comforting in this.”
― David Anthony Durham, quote from Acacia: The War with the Mein

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.
