“For really, dreaming is the well-mannered people's way of committing suicide.”
― Isak Dinesen, quote from Seven Gothic Tales
“Ako dopustite da vam jedna loša ocjena uništi život, onda ionako nemate budućnosti. Ako dopustite da jedna loša ocjena znači vašu propast, onda bi vas stvarni život ionako uništio. Stvarni život je mnogo teži od engleskog u srednjoj školi. A ako krivite svojeg učitelja engleskog i ako mislite da je on bio strog, onda vas čeka ružno iznenađenje kad uđete u stvarni svijet. Svijet izvan škole pun je ljudi koji su mnogo stroži, mnogo tvrđi i mnogo zahtjevniji od vašeg učitelja engleskog. Ponavljam: ako dopustite jednoj lošoj ocjeni i jednom učitelju engleskog da vam uništi život, onda ionako nemate budućnosti.”
― Robert T. Kiyosaki, quote from Rich Dad's Guide to Investing: What the Rich Invest in That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
“Also, Empathy should be expressed in a neutral way with minimal personal reference to the speaker’s own feelings. The emphasis here is on the borderline’s painful experience, not the speaker’s. A statement like “I know just how bad you are feeling” invites a mocking rejoinder that, indeed, you do not know, and only aggravates conflict.”
― Jerold J. Kreisman, quote from I Hate You, Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality
“From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bone is closer to four seconds than to five.

“About him and his wife voting for different parties. A few years ago that would have been unthinkable.” “No doubt.” “Quite extraordinary the things that happen now. But that’s what’s meant by democracy, I suppose.” Ogata-San gave a sigh. “These things we’ve learnt so eagerly from the Americans, they aren’t always to the good.” “No, indeed they’re not.”

The CaptureBookQuoters 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.
