“اسأ نفسك هذه الاسئلة ما الذى تحتاج الاعتراف به ؟ كيف خدعت نفسك والاخرين ؟ وما المواقف التى استسلمت فيها واذعنت ؟ لماذا تركت نفسك يستنزفها نظام تعرف انه ظالم ؟ ماذا ستفعل لتتأكد ان اطفالك وكل الاطفال يمكنهم ان يحققوا حلم الاباء المؤسسين للمثل والقيم حلم الحياة والحرية وبلوغ السعادة ؟ اى طريق ستسير فيه لتتوقف مجاعات لا مبرر لها ولتتأكد انه لن يتكرر ابدا يوم مثل الحادى عشر من سبتمبر ؟ كيف تستطيع مساعدة اطفالك كى يفهموا ان الناس الذين يعيشون حياة مترفة وغير متوازنة يجب ان نرثى لحالهم ولا نتمنى تقليدهم باى حال حتى اذا كان هؤلاء الناس يقدمون انفسهم من خلال وسائل الاعلام التى يملكونها على انهم ايقونات ثقافية محاولين اقناعنا ان المساكن الفخمة واليخوت تجلب السعادة ؟ ما التغيرات التى سالتزم بها لتعديل ما اتخذه من مواقف وما اعتقده من مفاهيم ؟ ما الاشكال التى ساستخدمها لتنوير الاخرين واكتساب المزيد من المعرفة ؟”
― John Perkins, quote from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

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.
