“time to put on your miner's hat and headed toward the bright light.”
― Megan Abbott, quote from Queenpin
“Desapareció la luna y empezó a clarear el día. Habían terminado ya la primera tanda cuando el hijo mayor, Akim, en pelliza corta y gorro, se acercó a los que trabajaban.
-¡Tú sí que te lo tomas con calma! -le gritó el padre, dejando de golpear y apoyándose en el mayal.
-Tenía que atender a los caballos.
-¡Atender a los caballos! -dijo el padre remedándole- La vieja cuidará de eso. Tú coge un mayal. Te estás poniendo demasiado gordo. ¡Borrachín!
-¿Eres tú el que me pagas la bebida? -gruñó el hijo.
-¿Qué? -dijo el padre, frunciendo el ceño y blandiendo el mayal con aire de amenaza.
El hijo, sin decir palabra, cogió el mayal y la faena se reanudó.”
― Leo Tolstoy, quote from Hadji Murad

Telling the Truth: T...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.
