“There's like a billion stars and planets, you'd think there'd be life on one of them. I mean why else would God go to all that trouble?
Maybe to show us how special we are?
Yet, when I look at them I feel totally insignificant. That's the genius, no?”
― N.G. Osborne, quote from Refuge
“All you create is greater dispair in these girls' lives for you can't mourn the loss of something you never knew about in the first place.”

“there’s any life out there?” Obaidullah shakes his head. “That against your religion?” Charlie says. “To be honestly I do not know.” “There’s like billions of stars and planets, you’d think there’d be life on one of them. I mean why else would God go to all that trouble?” “Maybe to show us how special we are.” “Yet when I look at them I feel totally insignificant.” “That is the genius, no?”

“The flashy, publicity-seeking type of adventurer can grab the headlines and be a hero in the eyes of the public, but he simply can’t deliver the goods in high command. On the other hand, the slow, methodical, ritualistic person is absolutely valueless in a key position.”
― Rick Atkinson, quote from An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943
“It was one of the occasions when Lymond asleep wrecked the peace of mind of more people than Lymond awake.”

“What is this guy . . . nuts?”
― Gennifer Choldenko, quote from Al Capone Does My Shirts
“Selfishly, perhaps, Catti-brie had determined that the assassin was her own business. He had unnerved her, had stripped away years of training and discipline and reduced her to the quivering semblance of a frightened child. But she was a young woman now, no more a girl. She had to personally respond to that emotional humiliation, or the scars from it would haunt her to her grave, forever paralyzing her along her path to discover her true potential in life.”
― R.A. Salvatore, quote from Streams of Silver
“Die Wirkung eines solchen Hauses auf seinen Besitzer ist unverkennbar. […] Es ist ein gegenseitiger Austausch von Würde, Bedeutung und Kraft, und jegliche Schönheit (oder deren Mangel) spinnt ständig wie ein hin und her sausendes Weberschiffchen von einem zum anderen geheime Fäden. Man schneide die Fäden durch, trenne den Menschen von dem, was von Rechts wegen sein Eigen und bezeichnend für ihn ist, und was zurück bleibt, ist ein seltsames Wesen, halb Erfolg und halb Versagen, wie die Spinne ohne Netz, das nie mehr sein wird, was es war, wenn ihm nicht alle seine Würden und Einkünfte zurück gegeben werden.”
― Theodore Dreiser, quote from The Financier

Going Too FarBookQuoters 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.
