“How you humans survive so much experience is something I shall never understand. To do so much and react to it all in the way you do is as much a curse as a blessing. You never take time to digest and appreciate what happens to you.”
― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from Pandora's Star
“He never did understand why people admired or even collected art. The greatest human artist could never hope to match what nature did with a single flower.”
― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from Pandora's Star

"No, sir," Bruno said cheerfully. "Not a clue".”
― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from Pandora's Star
“I believe that intelligence and rationality will always be primary no matter what shape sentient creatures take. To not think that would be to doubt the value of life itself.”
― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from Pandora's Star
“Life's a bitch, then you rejuvenate and do it all over again.”
― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from Pandora's Star

― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from Pandora's Star
“Wherever you find human misery, you find lawyers, either causing it or making a profit from it.”

“The original castle back in Edinburgh was the seat of Scottish nationalism. It symbolized everything to the diehard believers. Despite all the changes and defeats they endured, the castle stood solid at the center of their capital. They waited for generations for the Scottish nation to be properly reborn after their Bonnie Prince was lost. There were times when the cause seemed impossible, or even cursed; they regained their independence from the English only to lose it again right away with the formation of Federal Europe.”
― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from Pandora's Star
“That was the trouble with freethinkers, they had overactive imaginations that made them uncertain.”

“What are you still doing up?”
I twisted around, spotting Hayden in the doorway. “Watching the… uh,” I turned back, frowning at the screen, “the … way tigers mate.” I sighed. Damn you, Discovery Channel.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Cursed
“Но отдалечавайки се бавно от гробището, групичката здраво сплотени опечалени жени сякаш започна бавно да набира сила с всяка стъпка. Сякаш първата им любов и вярност бяха отдадени безкомпромисно само и единствено на тази къща и този човек и те знаеха, че той винаги е бил живецът във всички етапи от съществуването им. Не само че никога не бяха нарушили верността си към него, но сега подновяваха клетвата си към него заедно с жената, която беше дошла сред тях и се беше омъжила за него. Непрекъснатото им връщане у дома беше потвърждение на несломимото присъствие на къщата в живота им и сега, след като го оставиха под тисовото дърво, сякаш всяка от тях по собствен начин се беше превъплътила в татко.”
― John McGahern, quote from Amongst Women
“What else had I forgotten? What else would come back, knocking me off balance and reminding me how tenuous my grip on reality was?”

“Kadınlar neden buna benzer bedenleri olmasını isterler bir türlü anlamıyorum. Ne kadar acayip görünüyor, onlar da kalkıp böyle bir bedene sahip olmak için deli gibi uğraşıyorlar, ne pahasına olursa olsun, diyetlere, ameliyatlara, iğnelere, açık saçık iç çamaşırlarıyla bu lanet olası şeylerden birini elde etmek için çabalıyorlar ve her şeyi deneyip de başarılı olamazlarsa sahtesini yapıyor o ahmak sürtükler. Pekala, burada bedava bir tane var. Gelin de alın pis orospular.
Neyin içine girdiklerini bilmiyorlar, belki bundan hoşlanıyorlar. Belki de bu bedenleri paranın çarkını döndürmek için kullanan kadınlar gibi hepsi birer pislik: Film yıldızları, mankenler, orospular.”

Dangerous CreaturesBookQuoters 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.
