“أحيانًا أشعر بالتفاؤل ، وفي أحيان أخرى أشعر أنني واقفة خلف باب زجاجي سميك ، أطرق و أطرق ولا أحد يفتح”
― Nahid Rachlin, quote from Persian Girls
“غالباً ما أتمنى أن أحطم حياتي إلى أجزاء ثم أجمعها معاً بطريقة مختلفة. العودة إلى الوراء صعبة عندما يكون أمامك عدة خيارات”

“ ما إن يولد طفل في هذا العالم حتى يكتب أحد الملائكة قَدَرهُ على جبينه ”
― Nahid Rachlin, quote from Persian Girls
“أنتِ مخلوقة كاملة يا عزيزتي , خلقك الله فأحسن تصويرك . وقدرك أن تكوني طفلتي . ما إن يولد طفل في هذا العالم حتى يكتب أحد الملائكة قَدَره على جبينه "
قلت , " لا أرى أية كتابة على جبيني "
" إنها مكتوبة بنوع خاصّ من الحبر "
" هل يبقى ما يكتبه الملاك في مكانه إلى الأبد " ؟
" إذا تضّرع المرء إلى الله فقد يأمر أحياناً الملاك بتغيير الكتابة . لكن لا أحد يدعو الله لتغيير قدره . وأنا أريدك أن تبقي معي إلى الأبد”
― Nahid Rachlin, quote from Persian Girls
“الوطن هو الوطن على الرغم من كل مشاكله”
― Nahid Rachlin, quote from Persian Girls
“ها أنا أقف وجهاً لوجه مع رجل أحببته حباً جماً كل تلك المدة، رجل سكن قلبي طويلاً وتبيّن لي أنّه لا يختلف كثيراً عن الآخرين”
― Nahid Rachlin, quote from Persian Girls
“الوطن هو الوطن، على الرغم من كل مشاكله.”
― Nahid Rachlin, quote from Persian Girls
“Some people think that evolutionary psychology claims to have discovered that human nature is selfish and wicked. But they are flattering the researchers and anyone who would claim to have discovered the opposite. No one needs a scientist to measure whether humans are prone to knavery. The question has been answered in the history books, the newspapers, the ethnographic record, and the letters to Ann Landers. But people treat it like an open question, as if someday science might discover that it's all a bad dream and we will wake up to find that it is human nature to love one another.”
― Steven Pinker, quote from How the Mind Works
“The alley reeked, as all alleys do, of past garbage and dried urine. Myron waited for Roger to look up at him. Roger didn’t.”
― Harlan Coben, quote from Promise Me
“A piano might fall on your head, he said, but it also might not. And in the meantime you never know. Something nice might happen.”
― Meg Rosoff, quote from Just in Case
“No one,” I whispered, my lips trembling with the emotion, “has ever made me feel like the person I’ve always wanted to be until you. You make me feel beautiful, Nate. All the way through. No one else has ever given me that. No one.”
“I’m glad,” he murmured against my mouth. “Not just because you deserve to feel that way … but because it makes you mine.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Before Jamaica Lane
“Now--she reached down that far, she submerged her filthy self, full of choked cries, of loneliness and poison, until she felt it rising up. It was being pulled out, saved from herself--and she was rising along with it, slowly: who she was now, what she had lost in the past year, and what was growing, slowly, inside her, in spite of everything.”
― David Grossman, quote from Someone to Run With
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.
