“I am not going to change who I am. I am human and I know how to love, and be kind, and be compassionate to those who are weaker than me. Just because I have power doesn't mean I have to use it!”
― Garth Nix, quote from Superior Saturday
“There is never one absolutely right thing to do. All you can do is honor what you believe, accept the consequences of your own actions, and make the best out of what happens.”
― Garth Nix, quote from Superior Saturday

“As it 'appens, I am Arthur's right-hand man," said Suzy. "Or left-hand girl, I can't remember where I stood last time. Anyhow, me and Arthur is like two fingers of a gauntlet. Or at least the thumb and the little finger. I mean, I'm his top General, and all. So if I say you're in, you're in.”
― Garth Nix, quote from Superior Saturday
“You mortals arose from the possibility she made and, though she always liked to think so, are consequently not of her direct design.”

“But what are you supposed to do now? I mean, how are you supposed to act normal?”
Mike looked at me, his blueberry eyes searching. “I don’t know, Apron,” he said. “I was hoping you could tell me.”
And then, just like that, I understood what my real job was this summer, and it had nothing to do with flowers.”

بعض الغناء لقوته ،
من يملك مثل هذه القوة !؟
بعض الغناء لعطاياه ..
لعلاماته و إشاراته
بعض الغناء لمجده المميز ،
عظيم هو و جميل
بعض الغناء لنعمة التحصل على معرفته ،
من خلال الدراسات الفلسفية الصعبة !
بعض الغناء لأنه من صمم الجسد ،
ثم قلّصه مرة أخرى إلى غبار
بعض الغناء لأنه من يأخذ الحياة ،
و يعيدها مرة أخرى !
بعض الغناء لأنه يبدو ..
بعيدا .. بعيدا جدا
بعض الغناء لأنه قريبا منّا جدا ،
الآن .. و في أي وقت مضى
بعض الغناء لأنه ،
لم يقصّر في ارسال من يعلموننا و يوعظوننا
ملايين و ملايين ، قدموا لنا
ملايين الخطب و الحكايات
...
المعطي العظيم مستمر في العطاء ،
بينما هؤلاء المستعطين ، يضجرون من عطاءه
و على مر العصور ، يعطي ،
.. و يستهلكون !
انه يقودنا بإشاراته
إلى السير على الطريق
اوه ناناك :
انه طريق يزهر
بالبهجة و السلام”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib

The CartelBookQuoters 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.
