“Before I loved Maara, life seemed filled with endless possibility, yet I knew even then what I was waiting for. Love was only an idea to me then, something to hope for, a promise of happiness, insubstantial and immortal, until it found the one to settle on. Now love and Maara were one and the same, and love had become as mortal as she was.”
― Catherine M. Wilson, quote from A Hero's Tale
“We must continually remind ourselves that there is a difference between what is natural and what is actually good for us.”
― Sam Harris, quote from The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values
“Women pitied her, but went on their way; they had their own troubles to attend to, and mercy was a scarce commodity.”
― Alice Hoffman, quote from The Probable Future
“La relación de amor no es la misma que la de la adoración. Se adora a un dios. Solo los seres humanos pueden ser amados. Cuando adoramos a una mujer no podemos amarla. Luego, cuando descubrimos que no es un dios, la odiamos. Eso es triste. —Nunca”
― Ken Follett, quote from The Man From St. Petersburg
“He kissed me gently. 'Lieutenant Malachi Sokol, reporting for duty, Captain.'
'What?'
'I've been assigned to your field unit,' he whispered as he nuzzled my neck. Oh, man. Heaven. Help. Me. 'I'm afraid I'm already being shockingly insubordinate.”

Year of WondersBookQuoters 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.
