“Now, I don’t know if you can appreciate this without actually knowing her, but getting Mrs. Stricker to laugh is like getting an octopus to stand up on two legs.”
― James Patterson, quote from Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life
“إن تركيبة السلطة التي تحدثنا عن تقسيمها الفيزيائي فيما سبق لا يمكن لها ان تكون بدون نظام ميتافيزيقي محدد, يقوم بربط جميع حلقات هذه السلطة معا ويخضع لأسلوب موحد من "احتواء الذات", يمنحها "قواعد اللعبة", اي تنظيم وحدود وقوانين.
هذا النظام الميتافيزيقي يعد اساسي, وتشترك فيه تركيبه القوة بكاملها, ونظام التواصل الذي يجعلها متكاملة, ويمكنها من التواصل داخليا, ومن نقل المعلومات والتعليمات, انه ملف "تعليمات النقل" و"اللوحات الاسترشادية" الذي يصنع لها شكلا واطارا. يعد هذا النظام الميتافيزيقي ضمانة التماسك الداخلي لتركيبة القوة الشمولية, انه "مادة لاصقة", وقاعدة وصل, وأداة النظام, بدون هذه المادة اللاصقة - التي هي تركيبة النظام - سيفنى هذا الهيكل, سيتفتت الى أشلاء, وستتبعثر ذراته التي ترعى كل منها الأخرى من خلال مصالحهم وحاجاتهم التي لا حدود لها. وبالضرورة سينهار هرم السلطة الشملوية- التي سقطت عنها المادة اللاصقة- في داخله ويصير في حالة من الانهيار المادي.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless

Nothing but ShadowsBookQuoters 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.
