“Remember-doubts may check pride, but too much doubt will keep you from doing what must be done.”
“Very well," said Bregnest as a piece of toast hit him on the nose.”
“Alex smiled at Andy's words and then joined in the sudden biscuit battle that broke out. Thrang yelled madly at them for wasting food, but that only made him a target for everyone else.”
“Words can give us knowledge and understanding. They can tell us of things as they once were, as they should be, or even as they might be.”
“Remember—doubts may check pride, but too much doubt will keep you from doing what must be done.”
“And when has waiting ever been troublesome to a dwarf?”
“almost never free.” “We will hear what he has to say before we agree to pay”
“Events in life mean nothing if you do not reflect on them in a deep way, and ideas from books are pointless if they have no application to life as you live it.”
“Someday you going to make some man very happy
I hope its going to be Ray...
Your soldier? I nodded, a half smile in my face

“Odešel rychlým krokem jako muž, který je rád, že unikl dlouhému loučení u dveří. Dívala se za ním, jak se vzdaluje. Cítila, jak v ní narůstá pocit obrovské prázdnoty. Teď už věděla, co to znamená "být sama". Ne "být sama" na placení složenek nebo výchovu dětí, ale "být sama", protože muž, o kterém jste doufali, že vás vezme do náruče, se k vám otočil zády a odchází. Mám radši tu samotu, která se týká placení složenek, povzdechla si a zmáčkla tlačítko, aby přivolala výtah. Člověk aspoň ví, na čem je.”
“Look, I know you’re a guy—” “Damn straight.” “And there’s some man rule that you’ve got to be all macho—” “Rule number three, actually.” Both of her eyebrows shot up. “Would you just let me finish before I make you cry and break rule number three.”

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.
