“I didn't leave right away. I stayed in the woods. I heard the faint voices of other people. I felt the cold against my skin. But mostly, I was aware of my own heavy breathing, my own thoughts, my own past, present, and future.

I realized then, and would have to keep realizing in all the years to come:

It didn't matter if I was the kind of girl who had sex, of the kind of girl who had her portrait on a wall in the library, or the kind of girl who got into the best college, or the kind of girl who didn't tell her parents everything, or the kind of girl who teachers loved.

I just needed to be okay with all the kinds of girl I was.”

“- Nasmej mi se. Nasmej mi se pa da na tvom licu, barem jednom ugledam svetlost onog sveta. Podseti me na toplinu pekare u koju sam, vraćajući se iz škole sa tašnom u ruci po snežnom zimskom danu, ulazila da kupim zemičku; podseti me kako sam po vrelom letnjem danu sa keja radosno skakala u more; podseti me na prvi poljubac, na prvi zagrljaj, na orah do čijeg sam se samog vrha popela sama, na letnje veče u kojem sam bila van sebe, na noć u kojoj sam se veselo napila, na ušuškanost u mom jorganu i na lepo dete koje me je sa ljubavlju pogledalo. Sve je to u onoj zemlji, i ja želim tamo da odem, pomozi mi, pomozi mi da bih mogla srećna da prihvatim to da me je sve manje svaki put kad udahnem.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from The New Life

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.
