Popular quotes

“عندما يخرج الروائيون عن الموضوع نشعر بالملل. هذه هي شكوانا، على أي حال عندما نشعر بالملل من رواية ما، نقول عنها أنها خرجت عن الموضوع، لكن هناك الكثير من الأسباب التي تجعل رواية ما تتوقف عن إمتاعنا. الأوصاف الطويلة للطبيعة تجعل بعض القراء يتثاءبون؛ البعض يشعرون بالملل لأنه لا يوجد ما يكفي عن الجنس، وآخرون لأنه يوجد أكثر من اللازم؛ والبعض يتضايق من القدر الضئيل من الوصف، والبعض يتضايق من المؤلفين الذين يدخلون في تفاصيل أكثر من اللازم حول خلفيات عائلية مضطربة. وما يجعل رواية ما شديدة الجاذبية ليس هو حضور أو غياب الخواص المذكورة أعلاه، إنها مهارة الروائي وأسلوبه وبتعبير آخر يمكن أن تكون الرواية عن أي شيء. دعونا لا ننسى أيضا أن هذا "الأي شيء" يتبع منطقا محددا. ربما يستطيع كاتب أن يضع أي شيء وكل شيء داخل رواية، ولكن حتى بهذه الطريقة فإننا نحن القراء سرعان ما نصبح ملولين ونفقد صبرنا عندما يشرد المؤلف عن الموضوع، ويأخذ وقتا أطول من اللازم لكي يقول ما يريد أن يقوله أو يضمن تفاصيل لا حاجة إليها.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Other Colors: Essays and A Story

“Anyway, I heard you and your Mother-in-Law kicked ass! Shame his daddy'o wasn't around for the family reunion, although I doubted a battle is the right way to say 'hi,my name's Kiera and I am sexing up your son's man stick.”
― quote from The Triple Goddess

“There's a difference between loneliness and solitude.”
― Jennifer E. Smith, quote from The Geography of You and Me

“Who fixes broken people? Is it only other broken people, ones who've already been ruined? And do we need to be fixed? It was the messiness and hurt in our pasts that drove us, and that same hurt connected us at a subdermal level, the kind of scars written so deeply in your cells that you can't even see them anymore, only recognize them in someone else.”
― Elliot Wake, quote from Unteachable

“But there’s this one girl. My private property.”
― Katy Evans, quote from Manwhore

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.
