“In the darkness of your thoughts I would like to be a light.”
― Zoran Drvenkar, quote from Sorry
“In the winter you could see them sitting on the benches by the war memorial. The cold couldn't touch them in those days. They drank mulled wine from thermos flasks and smoked their cigarettes hastily, as if they might warm them up. Tamara doesn't know when the cold took hold of them. They feel it much more quickly now, the whine more, and if anyone asks them why, they reply that the world is getting colder and colder. They could also answer that they'd got older, but that would be too honest, you don't say that until you're forty and you can look back. In your late twenties you go through your very private climate disaster and hope for better times.”
― Zoran Drvenkar, quote from Sorry
“Pienso que la iglesia va a excomulgarnos. Repartimos la absolución y llevamos la luz a algunas almas oscuras.
-Y somos más caros.
-Cierto, somos más caros, pero tampoco nadie tiene que ponerse de rodillas a la hora de acostarse y darnos las gracias.”
― Zoran Drvenkar, quote from Sorry

“Los olores, la luz el espacio y todas las huellas que las personas han ido dejando en un sitio a lo largo de los años, el sitio en el que ellos crecieron. En cada visita, Wolf busca conscientemente esas huellas. Él lo llama nostalgia, Kris lo llama frustración.”

“Scientists were the embodiment of this new-fangled sobriety—impartial, businesslike, colorless, and reliable. Or so people assumed. For in actual practice, it was their supposed impartiality that allowed them to gain so much influence. One”

“The girl I was before this trip is dead. I’m worried who will take her place. It frightens me. I’m afraid my bitterness is bigger and will never be contained. I’m not sure I want to meet the new me.”

“He didn't turn to leave. Instead, he stared in my eyes, probably wondering if it would be advisable for him to proceed further. Smiling, I reached down to stroke his manhood. We continued looking at each other without uttering a word. We knew we wanted to take our liaison to the next level beyond just tidying the fencing room. I broke the silence and said, "Let me put my wet towel away, and I'll give you a helping hand storing your equipment." He laughed. "OK! I'll wait in the fencing studio for you.”
― Young, quote from Initiation

Nights in RodantheBookQuoters 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.
