“If your spirit is persistently harmless or if it has shown itself to you, in a non-threatening way, then you most definitely have a ghost. The ghost can be frightening, by its very nature. But the ghost will never intentionally frighten you. They will be there for three reasons: 1. They used to live there and are attached to the location 2. They are trying to communicate something to the living or 3. They are protective of somebody who lives in the house and so they are “standing guard” so to speak, over the loved one.”
― Alexei Maxim Russell, quote from The New Homeowner's Guide to House Spirits

― James Purdy, quote from Eustace Chisholm and the Works
“Venivano dai più lontani estremi della vita, questo è stupefacente, da pensare che mai si sarebbero sfiorati se non attraversando da capo a piedi l'universo, e invece neanche si erano dovuti cercare, questo è incredibile, e tutto il difficile è stato riconoscersi, riconoscersi, una cosa di un attimo, il primo sguardo è già lo sapevano, questo è il meraviglioso. Questo continuerebbero a raccontare, per sempre, nelle terre di Carewall, perché nessuno possa dimenticare che non si è mai lontani abbastanza per trovarsi, mai - lontani abbastanza - per trovarsi - lo erano quei due, lontani più di chiunque altro.”
― Alessandro Baricco, quote from Oceano mare

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.
