“Mercer,” Polly says, “we are now going to hug. As a group. The experience will be very un-English. It will be good for you. Do not speak, at all, especially not in an attempt to diffuse the emotional intensity of the situation.”
They hug, somewhat awkwardly, but with great feeling.
“Well,” Mercer says, after a moment, “that was certainly—”
“I will hit you with a shovel,” Polly Cradle murmurs.”
― Nick Harkaway, quote from Angelmaker
“Hay una materia pensante de la cual todas las cosas están hechas y la cual, en su estado original, impregna, penetra y llena los inter espacios del universo. En esta sustancia, un pensamiento produce la cosa imaginada por el pensamiento. Una persona puede formar cosas en su pensamiento y, al grabar su pensamiento en la sustancia sin formar, puede causar que aquello en lo que ha pensado sea creado. Para hacer esto, una persona debe pasar de la mente competitiva a la mente creativa; debe formarse una imagen mental de las cosas que quiere y mantener esta imagen en sus pensamientos con el firme PROPÓSITO de obtener lo que quiere y la FE inquebrantable de que obtendrá lo que quiere, cerrando su mente contra todo lo que pueda tender a quebrantar su propósito, nublar su visión o extinguir su fe. Así que para que pueda recibir lo que quiera cuando venga, una persona debe actuar AHORA sobre la gente y las cosas en su ambiente actual.”
― Wallace D. Wattles, quote from The Science of Getting Rich
“I'm already half-dust, Hayley, and I'm tired of trying to hold together what's left.”

“I guessed it was a migratory bird, too innocent to be wary of the spiders in the jungle grass. It worried be to think that we were a little like that bird”

The Loved OneBookQuoters 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.
