“I looked at Mr. McCommon, his hands smothering his face, his chest flinching. He had no idea that grief was a reward. That it only came to those who were loyal, to those who loved more than they were capable of. He had a garage, full of her belongings, and all I had was my guilt. It took on its own shape and smell and nestled in the pit of my body, and it would sleep and play and walk with me for decades to come.”
― Nami Mun, quote from Miles from Nowhere

“البته او به خدا اعتقادی نداشت، چه حرفها! ولی احساس می کرد که به جای خدا کسی یا چیزی هست. کسی یا چیزی که با خدا کاملا فرق دارد و هنوز به داد کسی نرسیده است. وجود او را چنان بدیهی می دانست که تعجب می کرد که چطور مردم هنوز به خدا اعتقاد دارند حال آنکه چیزی چنان تابناک و حقیقی وجود دارد، چیزی که مطلقا نمی شد در وجودش تردید کرد. آدمهایی که به خدا اعتقاد دارند در اعماق دلشان همه بی خدا هستند”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Ski Bum
“His whole existence had in a sense become fuller, as though he had married, as though some other person were present with him, as though he were no longer alone, but an agreeable companion had consented to walk the path of life hand in hand with him, and that companion was no other than the new overcoat with its thick wadding and its strong, durable lining.”
― Nikolai Gogol, quote from The Overcoat

LokiBookQuoters 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.
