“It's hard to let go anything we love. We live in a world which teaches us to clutch. But when we clutch we're left with a fistful of ashes.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, quote from A Ring of Endless Light
“The fear-filled cannot love deeply. Love is risky. They cannot give to the poor. Benevolence has no guarantee of return. The fear-filled cannot dream wildly. What if their dreams sputter and fall from the sky? The worship of safety emasculates greatness. No wonder Jesus wages such a war against fear.”
― Max Lucado, quote from Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear
“Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make proud,”

“Stavo pensando", disse Prokop come se volesse farsi perdonare il suo silenzio, "com'è strano quando il vento gioca con gli oggetti inanimati. E' quasi miracoloso il modo in cui cose che giacciono in giro senza un briciolo di vita improvvisamente cominciano a svolazzare. Non ve ne siete accorti? Una volta stavo in una piazza deserta e guardavo un mucchio di cartacce che si rincorrevano l'un l'altra. Non sentivo il vento perché stavo in un angolo riparato, ma eccole là, ammassate insieme in una vera e propria danza della morte. Un attimo dopo sembrava che avessero stipulato un armistizio ma, tutto a un tratto, uno sbuffo irresistibile della memoria sembrava soffiare su di loro, e ricominciavano, ognuna correndo dietro alla sua vicina finché scomparvero dietro l'angolo. Rimase solo un giornale intero; stava impotente sul selciato, e sbatteva astiosamente di qua e di là: sembrava un pesce fuor d'acqua che boccheggiasse. Non potei fare a meno di pensare che noi, in fin dei conti, siamo proprio come quei pezzetti di carta svolazzanti, nient'altro. Siamo trascinati di qua e di là da un "vento" invisibile e incomprensibile, che ci obbliga a comportarci in un certo modo, per quanto -da vanitosi- ci vantiamo della nostra forza di volontà.”
― Gustav Meyrink, quote from The Golem

LavondyssBookQuoters 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.
