“Volger looked out across the glacier, his hands deep in his pockets. "May I be frank?"
Alek laughed. "Feel free to put aside your usual tact."
"I shall," Volger said. "When your father decided to marry Sophie, I was one of those who tried to talk him out of it."
"So I have your dismal powers of
persuasion to thank for my existence."
"You're very welcome.”
― Scott Westerfeld, quote from Leviathan
“Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely soley upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.”
― Christopher Hitchens, quote from god is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
“The older I get, the more I see how much motivations matter. The Zune was crappy because the people at Microsoft don’t really love music or art the way we do. We won because we personally love music.”
― Walter Isaacson, quote from Steve Jobs
“„Ne. Sveta, jesi li ikada čula za analogiju... ljubav - to je cvijet?“
„Da.“
„Cvijet se može uzgojiti. A može se i kupiti. Ili se dobije kao poklon."
„Je l’ Anton kupio?“
„Ne“, rekoh suviše oštro, po svoj prilici, jesam... „Dobio je na poklon. Od sudbine.“
„I šta s tim? Je l' to ljubav?“
„Sveta, isječeno cvijeće je lijepo. Ali nije dugovječno. Ono ipak umire, pa makar i brižljivo
spušteno u kristalnu vazu sa sviježom vodom.“
„On se boji da voli“, zamišljeno reče Svetlana. „Je l' da? Ja se nisam bojala, zato što
nisam znala ovo...”
― Sergei Lukyanenko, quote from Night Watch
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.
