About the author

Popular quotes

“A real man—real in all the ways that we recognize as real—finds himself suddenly abstracted from the world and deposited in a physical situation which could not possibly exist: sounds have aroma, smells have color and depth, sights have texture, touches have pitch and timbre. There he is informed by a disembodied voice that he has been brought to that place as a champion for his world. He must fight to the death in single combat against a champion from another world. If he is defeated, he will die, and his world—the real world—will be destroyed because it lacks the inner strength to survive. The man refuses to believe that what he is told is true. He asserts that he is either dreaming or hallucinating, and declines to be put in the false position of fighting to the death where no “real” danger exists. He is implacable in his determination to disbelieve his apparent situation, and does not defend himself when he is attacked by the champion of the other world. Question: is the man’s behavior courageous or cowardly? This is the fundamental question of ethics. Ethics!”
― Stephen R. Donaldson, quote from Lord Foul's Bane

“I am very comfortable with conflict, be it of the legal or mortal kind. My father was a mediator, a bridge maker. I am a grave maker.”
― J.R. Ward, quote from Lover at Last

“ماذا تريد أن تعطي أيها الشيطان المسكين؟ هل فهم أمثالك روح الإنسان في مسعاه السامي؟ نعم عندك طعام ولكنه لايشبع وعندك ذهب أحمر لكنه كالزئبق ينساب من يدك ، وعندك قمار ، لكن لا أحد فيه يكسب ، وعندك فتاة ، ولكنها وهي بين أحضاني تغازل جاري بعيونها وتصل حبلها بحبله . إنك قد تعطي لذة الشرف الالهية الجميلة ، لكنه يزول كما يزول الشهاب! أرني الثمرة التي لاتعطب قبل أن يقطفها الإنسان ، والأشجار التي تخضوضر كل يوم من جديد”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, quote from Faust

“Nick, fetch my car, fetch my clothes, sweep the chimney, make my bed, watch my psychopath, fetch my slippers.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Night Embrace

“So much for playing nice.Tired, I let my eyes shut while they argued, hoping I didn’t die in the interim and make the problem moot. I wasn’t ever going to get my water. Ever.”
― Kim Harrison, quote from A Fistful of Charms

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.
