“Just as soon as I get this cast off," Fletcher said, "I'm going to kick your ass."
"You shouldn't speak to Dr Renwick like that, after all he's done for you," said Nat, with a grin.
"Why not?" asked Fletcher. "He filled me up with your blood, so now I'm half the man I was."
"Wrong again," said Nat. "You're twice the man you were, but still half the man I am.”
― Jeffrey Archer, quote from Sons of Fortune
“Challenge every writ, and let it not be said of you, I walked a path but never left an imprint.”

“Възпитателят на людете е длъжен не да предпазва от заблуда, а да ръководи заблуждаващия се, нещо повече, и да го оставя да пие от пълни чаши своите заблуди - ето къде е мъдростта на наставника. Който само вкуси от своята заблуда, дълго ще ѝ бъде привързан, дълго ще ѝ се радва като на рядко щастие, а който я изпие до дъно, непременно ще разбере, че се е заблуждавал, освен ако не е побъркан.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, quote from Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship
“Certainly, no fact in the long history of the world is so startling as the wide and repeated exterminations of its inhabitants.”

“Brunetti had once come across the term ‘compassion fatigue’, but thought that the oh-so-clever press had got it wrong, and the term should really be, ‘horror fatigue’.”
― Donna Leon, quote from Blood from a Stone
“History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.”

Tribes: We Need You...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.
