“Mali Johann stekao je dojam da dolaziti među ljude, razgovarati, vladati se, kretati se i djelovati među ljudima nije neko prirodno i gotovo nesvjesno zastupanje praktičnih interesa koji su nam zajednički s drugim ljudima, ili koje hoćemo provesti protiv njih, već da je to nešto što je samo sebi svrha, neki svjestan i umjetan napor za koji je, umjesto iskrenih i jednostavnih osjećaja, potrebna strahovito teška i zamorna virtuoznost. I kad bi pomislio da će i on jednom morati da se javlja na javnim skupštinama, da govori i da se kreće ispred toliko ljudi, protrnuo bi od straha i odvratnosti i zatvorio bi oči...”
― Thomas Mann, quote from Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family
“The Thematic Apperception Test was a psychological test that consisted of a series of ambiguous pictures. Subjects were supposed to tell what they thought was happening in the pictures. Since no clear story was implied by the pictures, the subjects supplied the stories. And the stories told much more about the storytellers than about the pictures.”
― Michael Crichton, quote from Sphere
“The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth in what seems to be an instant.”

“A man without hands came to the door to sell me a photograph of my house.”

Breaking DawnBookQuoters 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.
