“Venivano dai più lontani estremi della vita, questo è stupefacente, da pensare che mai si sarebbero sfiorati se non attraversando da capo a piedi l'universo, e invece neanche si erano dovuti cercare, questo è incredibile, e tutto il difficile è stato riconoscersi, riconoscersi, una cosa di un attimo, il primo sguardo è già lo sapevano, questo è il meraviglioso. Questo continuerebbero a raccontare, per sempre, nelle terre di Carewall, perché nessuno possa dimenticare che non si è mai lontani abbastanza per trovarsi, mai - lontani abbastanza - per trovarsi - lo erano quei due, lontani più di chiunque altro.”
― Alessandro Baricco, quote from Ocean Sea

“There it must be, I think, in the vast and eternal laws of matter, and
not in the daily cares and sins and troubles of men, that whatever is
more than animal within us must find its solace and its hope. I hope, or I
could not live.”
― H.G. Wells, quote from The Island of Dr. Moreau

Sleepwalking LandBookQuoters 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.
