“I don't need more pain in my life. Why did I invite it in? Do I have to feel pain to believe I feel anything at all?”
― Ellen Hopkins, quote from Glass
“Answers do not matter so much as questions, said the Good Fairy. A good question is very hard to answer. The better the question the harder the answer. There is no answer at all to a very good question.”
― Flann O'Brien, quote from At Swim-Two-Birds
“I don't trust an organization that would make policy out of fear.”
― Melissa de la Cruz, quote from The Van Alen Legacy
“We human beings don't realize how great God is. He has given us an extraordinary brain and a sensitive loving heart. He has blessed us with two lips to talk and express our feelings, two eyes which see a world of colours and beauty, two feet which walk on the road of life, two hands to work for us, and two ears to hear the words of love. As I found with my ear, no one knows how much power they have in their each and every organ until they lose one.”
― Malala Yousafzai, quote from I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
“–¡Un hombre de negocios no puede ser un burócrata! –le decía a Stephan Kistenmaker, de Kistenmaker & Hijos; y el que había sido su antiguo compañero de colegio, y seguía siendo su amigo, escuchaba con suma atención cada una de las palabras de Thomas, conscientes ambos de la mayor inteligencia de éste, para después repetirlas como una opinión propia–. Hay que tener carácter, ésa es mi opinión. No creo que pueda alcanzarse un gran éxito desde el escritorio de una oficina…, al menos a mí no me causaría ninguna satisfacción. El éxito no es sólo cuestión de cálculos sobre el papel… Yo siempre siento la necesidad de dirigir el curso de los acontecimientos en directo: con la mirada, la palabra y el gesto; que sea el resultado directo de mi voluntad, de mi talento, de mi suerte, si quieres llamarlo así. Claro que, por desgracia, se está perdiendo cada vez más esta forma de entender los negocios, esta intervención personal del comerciante… Los tiempos avanzan, pero, en mi opinión, están dejando atrás las mejores costumbres…”

EnchantmentBookQuoters 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.
