“Եթե կյանքը տխուր է, ազնիվ կամ հիմար, դրա պատճառը մարդն է: Եթե հարուստ է և գեղեցկությամբ լեցուն, ուրեմն ինքը, մարդն է այսդպիսին և ոչ թե շրջապատը: Այդպես է: Եթե որևէ բան վատ է, տգեղ կամ խեղճ, միշտ ինքը, մարդն է այդպես, և յուրաքանչյուր մարդ ինքն իր մեջ աշխարհ է: Յուրաքանչյուր մարդ մի ամբողջական աշխարհ է, որը նա կարող է վերակառուցել և սիրելի մարդկանցով բնակեցնել, եթե նրա սիրտը ընդունակ է սիրո, կամ լցնել ատելի մարդկանցով, եթե նրա սիրտը ընդունակ է ատելության:”
― William Saroyan, quote from The Human Comedy
“Another of the hard things about being in a war, grandchildren, is that although there are times of quiet when the fighting has stopped, you know you will soon be fighting again. Those quiet times give you the chance to think about what has happened. Some of it you would rather not think about, as you remember the pain and the sorrow. You also have time to worry about what will happen when you go into battle again.”
― Joseph Bruchac, quote from Code Talker: A Novel About the Navajo Marines of World War Two
“If you think I'm going to tell my wife she came in second place, you're out of your gourd. I'll convey the apology and not another bloody word.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from That Perfect Someone

― Beth Moore, quote from Believing God
“Sometimes I wonder why words can't actually make us bleed.”
― Swati Avasthi, quote from Split
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.
