“True beauty is what lies inside of us, not what the world sees. A beautiful shell that houses a vile soul becomes sullied over time. But an outer shell, imperfect as it may be, that houses a beautiful soul shines with that beauty, radiating it for all who have eyes to see.”
― Sara B. Larson, quote from Defy
“Y si de pronto una polilla se para al borde de un lápiz y late como un fuego ceniciento, mírala, yo la estoy mirando, estoy palpando su corazón pequeñísimo, y la oigo, esa polilla resuena en la pasta de cristal congelado, no todo está perdido. Cuando abra la puerta y me asome a la escalera, sabré que abajo empieza la calle; no el molde ya aceptado, no las casas ya sabidas, no el hotel de enfrente; la calle, la viva floresta donde cada instante puede arrojarse sobre mí como una magnolia, donde las caras van a nacer cuando las mire, cuando avance un poco más, cuando con los codos y las pestañas y las uñas me rompa minuciosamente contra la pasta del ladrillo de cristal, y juegue mi vida mientras avanzo paso a paso para ir a comprar el diario a la esquina.”
― Julio Cortázar, quote from Cronopios and Famas
“No one touches you. Do you understand?”
“Yes,” I whispered. I hated the eagerness apparent in my voice.”

“I'm feeling reckless - or honest, maybe. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference.”

“A key factor in the perpetuation of white-body supremacy is many people’s refusal to experience clean pain around the myth of race. Instead, usually out of fear, they choose the dirty pain of silence and avoidance and, invariably, prolong the pain.”

I Will Bear Witness...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.
