― Joelle Charbonneau, quote from Need

Potřeba: Něco, co je důležité, protože je to zásadní, něco nezbytného bez čeho nemůžete žít.
CO POTŘEBUJETE?”

“No. He won't save my brother. He doesn't love me no matter what he believes. He loves that I need him. But I don't. Not really. Because despite what I thought, what I counted on, he has never been there for me. There is no safety with him. I've always been alone. I just didn't know how isolated I was until now.”
― Joelle Charbonneau, quote from Need
“Because he can't imagine a time when the heavy darkness will lift.”
― Joelle Charbonneau, quote from Need

“As Myron dashed back and forth in the wave of basketball action, a thought sneaked in through the back door of his brain. The thought stayed on the fringes, hiding behind a couch, popping into view every once in a while before ducking back down again. You can do this, the thought taunted. You can play with them. Myron”
― Harlan Coben, quote from Fade Away
“To lose weight, I’m going to have to train myself to do what I need to do, not what I feel like doing at the moment.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“The pigs were pushing their noses through the slats in the truck bed, which made Langston so unaccountably sad she thought she would have to sit down on the sidewalk. How is it possible, she thought, that a person can drive a thinking, feeling, animal to slaughter and not become less than an animal himself? And what were the pigs searching for, after all, but air and freedom?”
― Haven Kimmel, quote from The Solace of Leaving Early
“Najniebezpieczniejszą, choć całkiem oddzielną sprawą, przed którą chciał mnie przestrzec najbardziej, a która posłała w opary szaleństwa całe kompanie młodych biedaczyn, było czytanie książek. Ten niedobry zwyczaj nasila się ostatnimi czasy, stąd więc niewypowiedziana wdzięczność ojca, że nie wykazałem do tej pory takich tendencji. Szpitale psychiatryczne są przepełnione ludźmi, którzy czytają zbyt dużo. Kiedyś byli - tak jak my - silni fizycznie, otwarci, zadowoleni i zrównoważeni. Potem zaczęli czytać. Najczęściej przez przypadek. Jakieś przeziębienie, wymagające kilku dni leżenia w łóżku. Ładna okładka wzbudzająca ciekawość. I nagle rodzi się zły nawyk. Pierwsza książka prowadzi do następnej. I następnej, i jeszcze jednej, ogniwa w łańcuchu, który wiedzie prosto w dół, w wieczny mrok choroby psychicznej. Po prostu nie można przestać. To gorsze niż narkotyk.”
― Mikael Niemi, quote from Popular Music from Vittula
“Eventually, I came to understand that a group of people who wield enormous power happen, oddly enough, to espouse some of the very same ideals imparted to me by people in Africa and central Asia who have no power at all. The reason for this, in my view, is that members of the armed forces have worked on the ground-in many cases, during three or four tours of duty-on a level that very few diplomats, academicians, journalists, or policy makers can match. And among other things, this experience has imbued soldiers with the gift of empathy.”
― Greg Mortenson, quote from Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan

Okay for NowBookQuoters 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.
