― Nahid Rachlin, quote from Persian Girls

“ 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

“Though the details differ across the world, no known culture lacks some version of the time-consuming, wealth consuming, hostility provoking rituals, the anti-factual, counter-productive fantasies of religion.”
― Richard Dawkins, quote from The God Delusion
“One need not be a chamber to be haunted.”
― Emily Dickinson, quote from The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
“Nobody but the dead know whether all these things people talk about are worth dying for or not. And the dead can't talk. So the words about noble deaths and sacred blood and honor and such are all put into dead lips by grave robbers and fakes who have no right to speak for the dead. If a man says death before dishonor he is either a fool or a liar because he doesn't know what death is. He isn't able to judge. He only knows about living. He doesn't know anything about dying.”
― Dalton Trumbo, quote from Johnny Got His Gun
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.
