“Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the most wonderful things that will ever happen to us”
― Nicole Reed, quote from Ruining You

“What’s about to happen?” I know the answer, but I’m playing with our fire. I want to hear it from his lips.
His eyes widen, but he smiles, figuring out my game. “I’m taking you to my house, and I’m putting you to bed.” His grin gets a little wider before he finishes, “With me in you.”

“ان الجنس البشري تغاضى عن سرٍّ بسيط للغاية يخص الوجود بالرغم من وضوحه لكل فرد. والسرّ هو أنّ بؤس الحياة الإنسانية والوعي يعودان إلى ضعف شعاع الانتباه الذي نسلّطه على العالم. ولنفرض أنك تملك مصباحاً قوياً، إلا أنّه يفتقر إلى عاكس في داخله. فعندما تقوم بإضاءته، فإن الشعاع ينبعث منه ويتوزع في جميع الاتجاهات. كما أنّ جزءاً كبيراً منه يمتصّه باطِنُ المصباح نفسه. أما إذا وضعت عدسة مقعّرة فإنّ الشعاع يتركز وينطلق إلى الأمام كالرصاصة أو كالرمح. ويصبح الشعاع أقوى من السابق بشعر مرات. إلا أنّ هذا ليس سوى نصف مقياس، لأنّه بالرغمن من أنّ كل شعاع من إشعاعات الضوء يسلك السبيل نفسه، فإنّ موجات لضوء الحقيقية تكون مرتبكة، شأنها في ذلك شأن الجيش غير المنظم عندما يسير في أحد الشوارع. وإذا سمحت للضوء بالمرور خلال الليزر، تسير الموجات سيراً منظماً وتزداد قوتها ألف مرة، مثلما يصبح بمقدور وقع أقدام جيش منظم أن يهدم أسوار أريحا.
إنّ العقل البشري نوع من النور الكشاف الذي يلقي ضوءاً من الانتباه على العالم. بيد أنّه كان دائماً أشبه بالنور الكشاف الذي لا يحتوي على عاكس. ينتقل انتباهنا من ثانية إلى ثانية، وليس لدينا الحيلة لتركيز الضوء. بالرغم من ذلك فهو يحدث دائماً.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“Tell me what to do, not how to do it.' Decentralize command and allow subordinates to operate freely within the framework of the commander's intent. Train them as a team. Develop trust, loyalty, initiative.”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
“Raimundo Silva entered, said good morning to no one in particular, and sat at a table behind the showcase where the usual tempting delicacies were on display, sponges, mille feuilles, cream cornets, tartlets, rice cakes, mokatines and, those inevitable croissants, in the shape dictated by the French word, a pastry that has risen only to collapse at the first bite and disintegrate until there are nothing but crumbs left on the plate, tiny celestial bodies which the huge wet finger of Allah is lifting to his mouth, then all that remains will be a terrible cosmic void, if being and nothingness are compatible.”
― José Saramago, quote from The History of the Siege of Lisbon
“I know who the demon thief is - it's me!”
― Darren Shan, quote from Demon Thief
“I ordered another. If this was going to be a fish-story, I needed stimulants.
"On the liner going to New York I met a girl." Biffy made a sort of curious gulping noise not unlike a bulldog trying to swallow half a cutlet in a hurry so as to be ready for the other half. "Bertie, old man, I can't describe her. I simply can't describe her."
This was all to the good.”

FaçadeBookQuoters 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.
