“If I have learned anything over this last year it’s that you have to live your own life too so that if something we hoped for doesn’t work out, you still have two legs to stand on, you still have your own path.”
― T.S. Krupa, quote from Safe & Sound

“Concluiu de nada adiantar sua sacrificada labuta, aproveitou uns dias de inverno mais úmido para adquirir uma pneumonia barata — “nem sequer uma pneumonia dupla”, ironizou dr. Carlos Passos — e emigrou para o astral. Silenciosamente, numa tosse discreta e tímida. Fosse outro e poderia ter escapado, ter vencido a doença, pouco mais do que uma gripe. Gil, porém, estava cansado, tão cansado!, não se dispunha a esperar doença séria e grave. Além do mais, não tinha ilusões: doença de qualidade, importante, moléstia da moda, cara, falada nos jornais, não chegaria para ele, o melhor era mesmo contentar-se com sua mesquinha pneumonia. Assim o fez e, sem se despedir, faltou com o corpo, descansou.”
― Jorge Amado, quote from Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands

“It will be better to spent our energy on reality; the tangible facts, not thoughts of the past.”

“You get born, and you nurse on lies, and you get weaned on lies, and you learn fancier lies in school. You live all your life on lies, and then maybe when you’re ready to die, it comes to you—that there’s nothing, nothing but yourself and what you could have done. Only you ain’t done it, because the lies told you there was something else.”
― John Williams, quote from Butcher's Crossing

About BookQuoters

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.
