“Okay note to self: news of the end of the world is best taken on an empty stomach.”
― Lola St. Vil, quote from The Girl

“Taking the obedience of the soldier for the consent of the nation--such a confidence is the destruction of thrones.”
― Victor Hugo, quote from Les Misérables: Volume Two

“And all are asleep,so all are foolish. Don't feel offended. Thefacts have to be stated as they are.You function in sleep; that's why you go on stumbling,you go on doing things you don't want to do, you go on doing things you have decided not to do. You go on doing things you know are not right to do, and you don't do things that you know are right. How is this possible? Why can't you walk straight? Why do you go on getting trapped into bypaths? Why do you go on going astray?

This is what is happening. Watch your life--everything that you go on demanding is so confused and so confusiing. You are not alert. You can't see, you can't heart-- certainly you have ears so you can hear, but there is nobody inside to understand it. Certainly you have eyes so you can see,but there is nobody present inside. So your eyes go on seeing and your ears go on listening, but nothing is understood. And on each step you stumble, on each step you commit something wrong. And still you go on believing that you are aware.”
― Osho, quote from Awareness: The Key to Living in Balance

“It only takes a spark,     to get the fire going.     And soon all those around,     can warm up in its glowing.     That’s how it is with God’s love,     once you’ve experienced it.     You want to sing,     it’s fresh like spring,     you want to Pass It On. “Can I make a suggestion, Astrid?” Charlie said as the junk made its way back to Repulse”
― Kevin Kwan, quote from Crazy Rich Asians

“The first priest I find, I'm goan to marry you. I'm all in, peekon.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from Endless Knight

About BookQuoters

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.
