“Math is “maths,” an elevator is a “lift,” a truck is a “lorry,” a flashlight is a “torch,” and “crisps” are what they call potato chips, while “chips” over here means French fries. Just as riding the double-decker buses thrills me, I get a thrill out of hearing people talk.”
― Heather Vogel Frederick, quote from Pies & Prejudice
“Would I want to know the ending to my own story? No. I want the adventure that comes with finding out.”

“I may have been dressed as a falcon, but I’ll tell you what. I felt like the biggest”
― James Patterson, quote from Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life
“إن الأزمة العميقة للهوية البشرية التي سببتها الحياة "في الكذب", والحياة التي أسست عليها لها بالتأكيد بعد أخلاقي: يظهر هذا البعد كأزمة أخلاقية عميقة في المجتمع, إن الإنسان الذي سقط في منظومة القيم الإستهلاكية, وانصهر في مزيج القافلة الحضارية, ولم ينخرط في نظام الوجود بناء على شعوره بمسؤولية أعلى من مسؤوليته عن البقاء كفرد يعد إنسان منزوع الأخلاق. يعتمد النظام على هذا الإنعدام الأخلاقي ويعمقه كمخرج اجتماعي له.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless
“Those who understand the way it is, rather than the way they wish it were, are on the path to freedom.”

Blue MoonBookQuoters 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.
