“Did the Service design it so no one had time to think, really think? He still hadn’t found time to finish reading the handouts on Revenant theology, perhaps because he kept getting hung up on the whole question of why anyone would believe a prophet without any real physical evidence of a god.”
― L.E. Modesitt Jr., quote from The Parafaith War

“Nunca la conoceré del todo”, pensó, como en una repentina y dolorosa revelación.
Estaba ahí, al alcance de su mano y de su boca. En cierto modo estaba sin defensa ¡pero qué lejana, qué inaccesible que estaba! Intuía que grandes abismos la separaban (no solamente el abismo del sueño sino otros) y que para llegar hasta el centro de ella habría que marchar durante jornadas temibles, al borde de vol
canes en erupción, entre llamaradas y tinieblas. “Nunca”, pensó, “nunca”.
”Pero me necesita, me ha elegido”, pensó también. De alguna manera lo había buscado y elegido a él, para algo que no alcanzaba comprender. Y le había contado cosas que estaba seguro jamás había contado a nadie, y presentía que le contaría muchas otras, todavía más terribles y hermosas que las que ya le había confesado. Pero también intuía que había otras que nunca, pero nunca le sería dado conocer. Y esas sombras misteriosas e inquietantes ¿no serían las más verdaderas de su alma, las únicas de verdadera importancia?”
― Ernesto Sabato, quote from On Heroes and Tombs

The Best and the Bri...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.
