“But how can you be sure?” I persisted.
“You can’t. There’s not just one person in the world who’s your type. There’s a whole group with the same likes and dislikes. But you want to spend your whole life looking for all of them? You just feel that everything’s right. You’re at peace with yourself.”
― Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, quote from Now I'll Tell You Everything

“كانت تنهشهما الحيرة في هذه الليلة اللانهائية، وهما دروغو وترونك مستندان الى الحاجز وقد سمّرا أعينهما نحو العمق، هناك حيث يبدأ سهل التتار، على حين بدت البقعة الغامضة ثابتة في مكانها كأنها تغفو مضطجعة، ثم رويداً رويداً أخذ يتملك دروغو شعور أن هذا مجرد لا شيء. إنه مجرد جلمود يشبه راهبة، وأن عينيه مخدوعتان، إنه مجرد تعب، وهمٌ أخرق. ها هي ذي ظلال مرارة كثيفة تلامسه. بالضبط كما يحدث عندما تمرّ بنا ساعات القدر دون أن تمسنا، ومن ثم يضيع صخبها بعيداً عنّا، على حين نبقى نحن وحيدين، تائهين في لجة بعض الأوراق اليابسة، نجتر حسرة تلك الفرصة الضائعة”
― Dino Buzzati, quote from The Tartar Steppe
“Regrets came up and asked me if I’d like to own them. Declined them for the most part but took a few just so I wouldn’t leave this relationship empty handed.”

Angels WalkingBookQuoters 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.
