“Pick-a-lock, Pick-a-lock, you'll regret the day,
When you took a mouse thief and locked him away,
Silly cat, look at that, it's two for one,
A thief and a warrior, by dawn will be gone.”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Mossflower
“There is no greater evil than killing. I don't care whether they call it war or justice. Life is precious.”
― Brian Jacques, quote from Mossflower

“Tell the Queen that there's been a robin red-breast hanging about Kotir grounds. It flies down low and vanishes near the floor. Cludd thinks it might be something to do with those woodlanders. Now, I'm to say nothing to Fortunata or Ashleg...

― Brian Jacques, quote from Mossflower
“Songs just spring into my head. Silly, isn't it. Sometimes old Goody Stickle says that it's Mossflower singing through me. Now and then she'll say it's a sight of season the hasn't yet shone

― Brian Jacques, quote from Mossflower

“I don't mind being a suspect when the corpse is a shit-for-brains fuckwit, but if I'd killed her it would've been bloody and loud. And I'd have enjoyed it too much to keep it to myself.”
― J.D. Robb, quote from Celebrity in Death

“Nita drank her tea, watching Roshaun read while he maneuvered the lollipop from one side of his mouth to the other. The bulge it produced looked very out of place against his otherwise flawless facial structure.
Roshaun felt Nita’s gaze resting on him, and looked up. “What?”
Nita controlled her smile. “The lollipop…”
“What about it?”
“I hate to say this, but you’re kind of spoiling your grandeur.”
“What grandeur he has,” Dairine remarked.
“Kings are made no less noble by eating,” Roshaun said. “Rather, they ennoble what they eat.”
“Wow, who sold you that one?” Nita said.”
― Diane Duane, quote from Wizards at War
“اللا أحد"
البراغيث تحلم بشراء كلب واللا أحد يحلمون .لنجاه من البؤس انه في يوم سحري ما سيمطر الحظ الجيد عليهم فجأه.لكن الحظ الجيد لم يمطر البارحه. ولن يمطر اليوم..غدا..او بعد غد..او في اي وقت
والحظ الجيد لا يتساقط حتي في رذاذ رائع.مهما عاني اللا أحد في استحضاره حتي ولو كانت ايديهم اليسري مدغدغه او اذا بدأوا يوما جديدا بأقدامهم اليمني او بدأوا العام الجديد بتغيير المكانس
اللا أحد :اطفال لا أحد.الذين لا يملكون شيئا
اللا أحد:الذين ليسوا أحدا..الذين جوعلوا هكذا..يركضون كالارانب..يموتون في الحياه..الثملون بكل طريقه
الذين ليسوا ولكن يمكن ان يكونوا
الذين لا يتحدثون لغات ولكن لهجات
الذين لا اديان لهم و إنما خرافات
الذين لا يبدعون فنا وإنما صنعه يدويه
الذين لا يملكون ثقافه وإنما فلكولورا
الذين ليسوا كائنات بشريه و إنما مصادر بشريه
الذين ليس لهم وجوه بل أذرع
الذين لا اسماء لهم بل أرقام
الذين لا يظهرون في تاريخ العالم بل في دفتر الشرطه وفي الصحيفه المحليه
اللا أحد..الذين ليسوا بقيمه الرصاصه التي تقتلهم”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from The Book of Embraces
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.
