“Tenho uma doença que está além do alcance da medicina; mesmo meu bom amigo Graham não tem cura para ela. Assim que eu chegar em terra, vou querer partir de novo. Meu lar é o navio. Minha pátria é o mar.”

“I put my faith into stones", he smiled at me across the table. "They do not rot, and they do not lose their value. They are light to carry and easy to keep close." He patted his pocket. "They will never let you down.”

“It’s the year 2017. We have drones, cars that can go in water, and men who walk on the moon. Why the hell haven’t they figured out how to unsend a text message? I don’t know who “they” are, but I’m blaming it on Apple.”
― Amo Jones, quote from The Silver Swan
“The only time you will fear anything is when you say no and resist the universe. You may have heard the expression “Go with the flow.” This means consciously accepting what is happening in your life.”
― Susan Jeffers, quote from Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
“Who are you?'
I didn't understand the question.
I'm Uri', he said. 'What's your name?'
I gave him my name. 'Stopthief.”

“Don't drop him," said Peter's mother to his father. "Don't you dare drop him." She was laughing.
"I will not," said his father. "I could not." For he is Peter Augustus Duchene, and he will always return to me.
Again and again, Peter's father threw him up in the air. Again and again, Peter felt himself suspended in nothingness for a moment, just a moment, and then he was pulled back, returned to the sweetness of the earth and the warmth of his father's waiting arms.
"See?" said his father to his mother. "Do you see how he always comes back to me?”
― Kate DiCamillo, quote from The Magician's Elephant
“Mientras haya hombres que no se contenten con comer las frutas de los árboles o con aporrear tambores suplicando lluvia, y decidan usar su inteligencia para rebasar el papel de meros parásitos de la obra de Dios, la ciencia nunca sucumbirá.”

Jonathan Livingston...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.
