“When you're surrounded by stupidity, self-preservation isn't a sin.”
― Meljean Brook, quote from Riveted
“I've never understood it. That is always the first thing someone asks: Where are you from. Not 'What do you like?' or 'What do you believe?' or even 'What is your mother like?' which all have more bearing on the person I am. And if I don't tell them where I'm from, they try to guess.... It drives them mad, as if to know me they need to know where I am from.”
― Meljean Brook, quote from Riveted
“People never believed of others what they couldn't imagine of themselves.”
― Meljean Brook, quote from Riveted
“every man had a choice: feed that which makes you happy, or feed that which makes you rage.”

“He wanted her for the rest of his life. And on his dying breath, he would still want another second with her, another hour, another lifetime.”
― Meljean Brook, quote from Riveted
“Yes. My mother, for one. As a child I loved her, despite knowing so little about her. But now, knowing everything she has done, how stubborn she can be, how blind, how strong, how clever…knowing her as a woman, I love her so much more.”
― Meljean Brook, quote from Riveted

“I need to know why I’m so broken, so I can fix myself. One way or another. Maybe this place can help me do that, and then I can finally look forward to my future. Because I’m starting to realize there’s something worse than stepping up and facing your fears – and that’s living as if you’re already dead.”
― A.G. Howard, quote from RoseBlood
“انتقام.
عدالت.
عشق.
اینها سه داستانی هستند که تمام داستانها از آنها ساخته شدهاند. سه رکن اصلی و درست به همین ترتیب. مثل سوپ درست کردن برای یتیمهاست. باید ابتدا با پیاز شروع کنید، سپس کرفس و بعد هویج. آنها را قطعه قطعه میکنید و داخل قابلمه میریزید و میپزید. هرچیزی که بعد از این سه داخل قابلمه میریزید بقیهی محتویات هستند. داستانها هم همینطور هستند.”

Chanakya's ChantBookQuoters 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.
