“For years I'd waited for someone to love me: that was the permission I needed to fall in love myself, as though I were a pin sunk deep in a purse, waiting for a magnet to prove me metal. When that did not happen, I'd thought of myself as unlovable.
...It was this I'd waited for all my life: a love that would make me useful, a love that would occupy all my time.”
― Elizabeth McCracken, quote from The Giant's House
“The ancient sages never put their teachings in systematic form. They spoke in paradoxes, for they were afraid of uttering half-truths. They began by talking like fools and ended up making their hearers wise.”

“Bir ressam için en ideal olanı, Pantheon'un *oculus'ü gibidir.
Yüksekten gelen ışık modelin yüzüne, hatta o anlamsız çirkin yüze bile, tatlı bir hava, sanatçının istediği biçimde işleyeceği bir tür güzellik katacaktır...
*oculus: (Latince) Mercek, cam.”

"Eric's old." I broke in. "Really really old."
"Er— really?" Laura asked. "Gosh you don't look even out of your thirties."

Madame BovaryBookQuoters 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.
