“At core, men are afraid women will laugh at them, while at core, women are afraid men will kill them.”
― Gavin de Becker, quote from The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence
“There are people who never pass a certain point in their emotional development. They cannot live a normal free-and-easy, give-and-take life with a sexual partner for more than a short time. Something inside them will not tolerate happiness. The better it gets, the more they have to destroy it.”
― Frederik Pohl, quote from Gateway
“Bakın şimdi: Bedenin temel kısmı, iyi, evcilleştirilmiş popo temeldir; bu yüzden eylem popodan başlar. Ayrı ayrı kısımların dalları tıpkı bir ağaç gövdesinden çıkar gibi popodan ayak parmağı, eller, gözler, dişler kulaklar olarak çıkıp dal dal dağılırlarken bazı kısımlar, hassas ve mahir işlemeler sayesinde, hafiften diğerlerin içine geçerler. Küçük Polonya Vilayeti'nde "papa" da denilen insan yüzü ise taçtır; poponun gövdesinden ayrı ayrı parçalar halinde büyüyen ağacın yapraklı kısmıdır; demek ki popo tarafından başlatılmış döngüyü papa kapatır. "Papa"ya vardıktan sonra bana, onlar üzerinden yeniden popoya varmak için ayrı ayrı parçalara dönmek kalmıyorsa eğer, ne kalıyor?”
― Witold Gombrowicz, quote from Ferdydurke
“When I've seen you go into an empty room I've sometimes wanted to open the door suddenly, but I've been afraid to in case I found nobody there.”

Mistakes Were Made (...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.
