“A wise woman doesn’t take anything for granted. She is thankful to be loved and seeks to make herself more lovely.”
― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet
“بإمكانك تصور مشاعري فيما لو تخيلت أنك تشعر بالحر والتعب في حين يسير كل شيء أمامك في الاتجاه المعاكس. ففي كل مرة تحاول فيها عبور الطريق تجد حافلةّ على وشك أن تدهسك. وتشعر كأنّ الكون بأجمعه أصبح معادياً لك. إنّ إحساسك بالطمأنينة يتبدد ويغدو كلّ ما له علاقة بحياتك قابلاً للتدمير والزوال، مايعطيك فكرةً عن المنحى الذي يتّخذه هذا الهجوم، في الماضي، كنت أزعم أنّ هذه الهجمات ماهي إلّا هجمات التشاؤم والإشفاق على الذات، وكنت أجِدُ لي سريعاً أمراً أقلق بشأنه بحيث يبدو الأمر مقبولاً. فجميعنا يقاتل جميعاً في مثل هذه المعارك مئات المرات يومياً، والذين يتحقق لهم النصر التام إنما يحققون ذلك في التخلي عن نزعاتهم السلبية والقلق بشأن الحياة من خلال التفكير وفق مفاهيم الانتصار والأهداف الهامة.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“Great Marine commanders, like all great warriors, are able to kill that which they love most -- their men.”

The SnowmanBookQuoters 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.
