“This book was made possible by the letter “ø.” Also the letter “æ.” The first time I saw them, I fell in love and just had to learn the language they belonged to. That language turned out to be Norwegian, with its rich history of folk tales about trolls and polar bears and clever young lads and lasses out to make their fortune. I only hope that I didn’t offend my Danish blacksmith forbears by choosing to study Norwegian instead of Danish in college.”
― Jessica Day George, quote from Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow


“As they traveled the sun and moon dipped in the sky and then rose again, moving around them in a stately dance. In the summer months, at the top of the world, neither sank below the horizon. The sky was both dark and light, the sun a tiny pale ball and the moon a long thin crescent, lying on its back like a bowl. Then, for a time, the sun was directly below the moon, looking insignificant and weak.”
― Jessica Day George, quote from Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow

Popular quotes

“Portia Kane, Official Member of the Human Race! This card entitles you to ugliness and beauty, heartache and joy—the great highs and lows of existence—and everything in between. It also guarantees you the right to strive, to reach, to dream, and to become the person you know (deep down) you are meant to be. So make daring choices, work hard, enjoy the ride, and remember—you become exactly whomever you choose to be.”
― Matthew Quick, quote from Love May Fail


“Resilience is the virtue that enables people to move through hardship and become better. No one escapes pain, fear, and suffering. Yet from pain can come wisdom, from fear can come courage, from suffering can come strength—if we have the virtue of resilience.”
― quote from Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life


“Un único Espíritu. Mucho antes de que Sumeria existiera, antes de que en Egipto se construyera Sakkara, antes de que floreciera el valle del Indo, el espíritu vivía en cuerpos humanos, danzando en una cultura elevada. La Esfinge sabe la verdad. Somos mucho más de lo que sabemos. Hemos olvidado. La Flor de la Vida fue y es conocida por toda la vida. Toda la vida, no sólo aquí sino en todas partes, sabía que era el patrón de la creación la vía de entrada y salida. El Espíritu nos creó con esta imagen. Tú sabes que es verdad; está escrito en tu cuerpo, en todos tus cuerpos.”
― Drunvalo Melchizedek, quote from The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life: Volume 1


“We propose a different metric for the success of a relationship. Relationships that make us the best versions of ourselves are successes.”
― Franklin Veaux, quote from More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory


“Every living thing is precious somehow.”
― T.A. Barron, quote from The Seven Songs of Merlin

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.
