Popular quotes

“Vis dėlto stebėti debesis ir bangas buvo kur kas maloniau nei žmones. Su nuostaba pamačiau, kad žmogus nuo gamtos skiriasi daugiausia tais slidžiais melo drebučiais, jį supančiais ir saugančiais. Greitai įsitikinau, kad visiems mano pažįstamiems būdingas tas pats bruožas, tas aplinkybių diktatas, kai kiekvienas iš jų turi vaizduoti tam tikrą asmenybę, ryškią figūrą, o nė vienas iš jų nepripažįsta pats savęs. Keistai pasijutau, pamatęs, kad ir aš pats esu toks, ir nustojau ieškojęs asmenybės esmės. Daugeliui tie drebučiai buvo svarbiau už viską. Aš tai mačiau visur, net ir vaikai, sąmoningai ar nesąmoningai, vaidino kokį nors vaidmenį, užuot instinktyviai ir nesislapstydami atskleidę patys save.”
― Hermann Hesse, quote from Peter Camenzind


“Vic didn’t mind at all being considered odd. In fact, he was proud of it in a country in which most people aimed at being exactly like everybody else.”
― Patricia Highsmith, quote from Deep Water


“The big firms that survive will do so by turning themselves into bottom-up evolvers.”
― Matt Ridley, quote from The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves

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.
