“The four rules of writing... 1. Write to discover. 2. There is no greater discovery than love. 3. All love comes from the Creator. 4. Write what you will.”
― Ted Dekker, quote from Showdown

― Ted Dekker, quote from Showdown
“Live to discover, as long as discovery leads to a love that comes from the Creator... writing was the mirror to life.”
― Ted Dekker, quote from Showdown
“Love can only be found in freedom of choice. And for choice to exist, there must be an alternative to choose. Something as compelling as love.”
― Ted Dekker, quote from Showdown
“Everything was really a story, penned or thought or acted out at some time by someone.”

“She hurried to the front door, opened it, and stepped onto the porch. Dark cumulus clouds hovered low over the town, and a warm wind whipped through the trees, carrying stray leaves and dust through the street.”

“As Lenin put it, "Through the schools we will transform the old world... the final victory will belong to the schools... the final sketch plan of the socialist society will belong to the schools." So the Frankfurt School targeted and took control of the teachers' colleges in order to control what was being taught to children.
...young teachers are forced to go through possibly the most rigorous courses of indoctrination available in any universities.”

“Champlain missing was so much more potent than Champlain found.”

“— Страхуват се — каза Перец. — Аз също се страхувам. Но аз се страхувам не само от теб, страхувам се и за теб. Още не ги познаваш. Впрочем и аз малко ги познавам. Знам само, че са способни на всякакви крайности — до най-висшите степени на тъпотата и мъдростта, на жестокостта и съжалението, на яростта и въздържанието. В тях няма само едно: разбиране. Винаги са заменяли разбирането с някакъв сурогат — вяра, неверие, равнодушие, пренебрежение. Кой знае защо винаги излиза, че така е по-просто. По-просто е да повярваш, отколкото да разбереш. По-просто е да се разочароваш, отколкото да разбереш. Между другото аз утре заминавам, но това още нищо не значи. Тук не мога да ти помогна, тук всичко е много непробиваемо и застояло. Тук вече очевидно съм излишен, чужд. Но аз ще намеря приложение на силите си, не се страхувай. Да, те могат непоправимо да те осквернят, но затова също трябва време — да намерят най-ефективният, най-икономичният и преди всичко най-простият метод. Ние пък ще се преборим, ако има за какво да се борим… Довиждане.”
― Arkady Strugatsky, quote from The Snail on the Slope
“That was the very heart of friendship...your willingness to help each other in a jam, to take a friend's problems as your very own.”
― Elise Broach, quote from Masterpiece
“Ordinary-size people, they don't know: their lives have been rehearsed and rehearsed by every single person who ever lived before them, inventions and improvements and unimportant notions each generation, each year. In 600BC somebody did something that makes your life easier today; in 1217, 1892.”
― Elizabeth McCracken, quote from The Giant's House

The Final PieceBookQuoters 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.
