“ففي الحب لا وجود للوقت. إذا كنت تحب شخصا، فأنت تحبه، فمن يأبه لما قد يحصل في الغد؟ لأن هذه اللحظة غنية جدا ومميزة”
― Osho, quote from Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other
“People often seem to think that when you're following the Lord and trying to do His will, your path will always be clear, the decisions smooth and easy, and life will be lived happily ever after and all that. Sometimes that may be true, but I've found that more often, it's not. The muddled decisions still seem muddled, bad things still happen to believers, and great things can happen to nonbelievers. When it comes to making our decisions, the key that God is concerned with is that we are trusting and seeking Him. God's desire is for us to align our lives with His Word and His will.”
― Tim Tebow, quote from Through My Eyes
“Every time I touch you,’ he whispers, ‘I feel I need to do it with the utmost care.’ ‘Why?’ I ask quietly, a little perplexed. He takes another long pull of air and turns his eyes to me, blinking slowly. ‘Because I’m frightened you might turn to dust.’ His admission chokes me. ‘I won’t turn to dust.’ ‘You might,’ he murmurs. ‘What would I do?’ His eyes scan my face, and I’m shocked to see nothing but complete seriousness, maybe even a little fear.”
― Jodi Ellen Malpas, quote from Promised
“We think we know them, but we really don’t. We let ourselves be deceived because we are always expecting the best out of those who seem willing to provide it.”
― Terry Brooks, quote from The High Druid's Blade
“Обичам те много - казах аз. - Обичам теб и този миг, и лятото, което ще отмине, и този пейзаж, и раздялата, и за първи път през живота си самия мен, защото целият съм твое огледало, отразявам те и така двойно те притежавам.”

AngelsBookQuoters 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.
