About the author

Popular quotes

“Words are powerful. They too can be the agents of what is new, of what is conceivable and can be thought and let loose upon the world.”
― David Malouf, quote from Ransom

“She had gone quite a distance. He had to backtrack a significant way, stopping to call out every few paces. When at last he found Yorda, the sight of her slender frame sent a stab of pain through Ico's chest as he remembered the girl he had seen in the water.

He reached out his hand to her.”
― Miyuki Miyabe, quote from Ico: Castle in the Mist

“I hadn’t actually come out and asked him to pick us up, so when he said, “All right, give me twenty minutes, I gotta go dig out my old crutches,” I knew with every last drop of blood and every bone in my body that Mike was at least related to Jesus.”
― Jennifer Gooch Hummer, quote from Girl Unmoored

“Il y en a qui écrivent pour rechercher les applaudissements humains, au moyen de nobles qualités du coeur que l’imagination invente ou qu’ils peuvent avoir. Moi, je fais servir mon génie à peindre les délices de la cruauté ! Délices non passagères, artificielles ; mais, qui ont commencé avec l’homme, finiront avec lui. Le génie ne peut-il pas s’allier avec la cruauté dans les résolutions secrètes de la Providence ? ou, parce qu’on est cruel, ne peut-on pas avoir du génie ? On en verra la preuve dans mes paroles ; il ne tient qu’à vous de m’écouter, si vous le voulez bien... Pardon, il me semblait que mes cheveux s’étaient dressés sur ma tête ; mais, ce n’est rien, car, avec ma main, je suis parvenu facilement à les remettre dans leur première position. Celui qui chante ne prétend pas que ses cavatines soient une chose inconnue ; au contraire, il se loue de ce que les pensées hautaines et méchantes de son héros soient dans tous les hommes.”
― Comte de Lautréamont, quote from Maldoror = Les Chants de Maldoror, together with a translation of Lautréamont's Poésies

“1 :
...
بإرادة الروح
تأتي أشكال لا تعد و لا تحصى ..

و بسبب هذه الإرادة
لا أستطيع حتى أن أتكلم ..

بإرادة الروح
((أي روح القدس))
تأتي جميع الأرواح

اندمج في هذه الروح
و كن عظيما ..

يإرادة الروح
يكون الخير و الشر

و بها يكتب
الألم و السلام
للجميع .

للبعض ، تحضر
الهدايا الوفيرة

للبعض ، تودي
إلى تيه لا نهاية له

كل شئ موجود ضمن تلك الإرادة
.. لا شئ كاذب من ورائها

آه يا ناناك :
إذا فهمت
الإرادة الإلهية
لن تجد
(نفسك)
شئ لتقوله”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib

About BookQuoters

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.
