“Yo solía pensar que tomar fotografías me haría ver mejor las cosas, congelar el momento, recordarlo por siempre. Pero me di cuenta que la única forma de hacerlo es vivir el momento, no verlo detrás de un lente. En realidad no necesitamos fotografías o infinidad de videos o de recuerdos o anillos de compromiso para recordar esos momentos especiales, ya que siempre están aquí. Incluso si se desvanecen un poco por el tiempo, un día el sol brillará en el cielo en una mañana particular de un modo particular, o descubriremos un objeto perdido hace mucho tiempo, una caracola, quizás, o una tarjeta… y todo vendrá otra vez. Y las memorias serán buenas y seremos afortunados de tenerlas. Y luego nos sentiremos bendecidos de tener siquiera la oportunidad de hacer más…”
― Ali Harris, quote from The First Last Kiss
“Poor communication doesn't disconnet souls. It's the disconnected souls who poorly communicate.”

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.
