“Deves prestar sempre atenção aos teus sonhos, ensinara-lhe a mãe. São vozes que te dizem o que já sabes, sussurrando-te conselhos que ainda não seguiste.”
― Tess Gerritsen, quote from The Keepsake
“I’m assuming you’re as mystified by this as the rest of us, Rasputin.
No. I’m not. I have been planning to destroy the Breakworld since I was a child.
[silence]
This is why I don’t make so many jokes. I never know when is good.”
― Joss Whedon, quote from Astonishing X-Men, Volume 4: Unstoppable
“هل يوجد عجز وهوان أكبر من أن يضطر الإنسان لقضاء حاجة محرجة أمام أعين العالم أجمع ؟ الحاجة! إن اسمها وحده يُفصح عن المعاناة. وككل ماقد يضطر المرء للقيام به تحت ظروف قاهرة، فإنها تتطلّب لقضائها - بشكل يمكن تحمّله - تتطلب الغياب المطلق لأي انسان .. أو على الأقل التظاهر بالغياب
مثلاً غابة حين يكون المرء في الريف، أو دغل صغير حين يكون في الحقول، أو على الأقل حفرة صغيرة في الحقل أو ظلام الليل وإن لم يكن فقطعة أرض مساحتها كيلومتر مربع يُمنع على أي كان دخولها .
أما في مدينة تكتظّ بساكنيها والتي لايوجد فيها بقعة مظلمة بمعنى الكلمة وحيث لاتُشكل أطلال المباني أي درع حقيقي ضد النظرات المتطفلة، في المدينة لاينفع المرء شيء إلا الابتعاد عن الناس، لاينفع إلا حجرة لها قفل و ترباس . ومن لايملك شيئاً كهذا الملجأ عند الحاجة يكون آتعس الناس و أكثرهم استحقاقاً للرثاء، سواء كان حراً أم لم يكن .”
― Patrick Süskind, quote from The Pigeon
“I see no need in taking part in forced adolescent social rituals that would do nothing but stir up emotions of dread for all involved.”

“Don't fuckin' do shit like that again, baby," he interuppted in a raspy, hurt voice. There was no anger in is voice, just a desolate crushed roughness. "Cause I ain't wanting to be without you. You hearing me? You're my fuckin' woman. We ride this road together, no matter what gets in our way.”

A Raisin in the SunBookQuoters 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.
