“Eu, Darrell Standing, hoje sorrio para mim mesmo no Corredor da Morte por ter sido considerado culpado e condenado à morte por doze jurados respeitáveis e honestos. Doze sempre foi um número mágico do Mistério. Mas esse número não se originou nas doze tribos de Israel. Antes delas, já os contempladores de estrelas colocaram nos céus os doze signos do Zodíaco. E lembro que, quando fui um aesir e depois um vanir, Odin sentava-se para julgar os homens numa assembléia de doze deuses e seus nomes eram Tor, Baldur, Njrd, Freya, Tyr, Brogi, Heimdall, Hdr, Vidar, Ull, Forseti e Loki. Até mesmo nossas valquírias nos foram roubadas e transformadas em anjos e as asas dos cavalos das valquírias se prenderam aos ombros dos anjos. E o nosso Helheim daquela época de gelo e frio tomou-se o inferno de hoje, que é uma morada tão quente que o sangue ferve em nossas veias; enquanto o nosso Helheim era tão frio que o tutano se congelava dentro dos nossos ossos.”
― Jack London, quote from The Star Rover

“Escribiendo no existe lo del nudo en la lengua, pero si existiera, si mi mano fuese como una lengua enorme, de verdad le digo que la tendría atada con uno de esos nudos complicados que solo los boy scouts saben deshacer.”
― Annabel Pitcher, quote from Ketchup Clouds

“-Te dije que sonaría como una...
-No, no es así
SÍ, SÍ QUE ES ASÍ
Shhh.
ESTE ES MI INFIERNO, LO JURO. CUANDO PASE A MEJOR VIDA Y ME CASTIGUEN POR MIS PECADOS, ESTE SERÁ MI TORMENTO. VIVIRÉ RODEADO POR UN MAR DE ADOLESCENTES NIÑOSMONOS ENAMORADOS. CHAPOTEANDO EN CHARCOS DE SU PROPIA BABA.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Kinslayer

“Guilford concluded that creative individuals were also far more likely to exhibit "divergent" rather than "convergent" thinking:

In tests of convergent thinking there is almost always one conclusion or answer that is regarded as unique, and thinking is to be channeled or controlled in the direction of that answer....In divergent thinking, on the other hand, there is much searching about or going off in various directions. This is most obviously seen when there is no unique conclusion. Divergent thinking...is characterized...as being less goal-bound. There is freedom to go off in different directions....Rejecting the old solution and striking out in some direction is necessary, and the resourceful organism will more probably succeed.”
― Kay Redfield Jamison, quote from Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament

“. . . the sun set . . . with guillotine-like speed this close to the equator.”
― Doug Stanton, quote from In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors

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.
