“Fiction is truth, even if it is not fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Lord of Shadows

“Hay, efectivamente, pasiones que se encauzan mal o bien, según se quiera. Dos personas se confían a la táctica del sentimiento, hablan en vez de actuar y se baten en campo abierto en lugar de poner un cerco. Así se cansan a menudo de sí mismas al extenuar sus deseos en el vacío. Dos enamorados se dan entonces tiempo para reflexionar y juzgarse. Frecuentemente pasiones que habían entrado en campaña con las banderas desplegadas, pimpantes, con un ardor que lo arrollaba todo a su paso, acaban por volver a sus puestos sin haber logrado la victoria, avergonzadas, desarmadas y atontadas por su vano estruendo. Tales fatalidades resultan explicables en ocasiones por la timidez de la juventud y por las dilaciones de que gustan las mujeres que se inician, pues esta especie de mutuo engaño no se da ni en los fatuos duchos en la práctica, ni en las coquetas habituadas a los ardides de la pasión.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from Lost Illusions

“Under a system that sought to stamp out tainted blood for three generations, the punishment would extend to parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins. A lot of people felt if you had one life to give, you would give it to get rid of this terrible regime, but then you're not the only one getting punished. Your family would go through hell.”
― Barbara Demick, quote from Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea

About BookQuoters

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.
