“Cuando el gobierno de Francia decidió, en mayo del 98, reducir la semana laboral de 39 a 35 horas, dando así una elemental lección de cordura, la medida desató clamores de protesta entre empresarios, políticos y tecnócratas. En Suiza, que no tiene problemas de desempleo, me tocó asistir, hace algún tiempo, a un acontecimiento que me dejó turulato. Un plebiscito propuso trabajar menos horas sin disminuir los salarios, y los suizos votaron en contra. Recuerdo que no lo entendí, confieso que sigo sin entenderlo todavía. El trabajo es una obligación universal desde que Dios condenó a Adán a ganarse el pan con el sudor de su frente, pero no hay por qué tomarse tan a pecho la voluntad divina. Sospecho que este fervor laboral tiene mucho que ver con el terror al desempleo, aunque en el caso de Suiza el desempleo sea una amenaza borrosa y lejana, y con el pánico al tiempo libre. Ser es ser útil, para ser hay que ser vendible. El tiempo que no se traduce en dinero, tiempo libre, tiempo de vida vivida por el placer de vivir y no por el deber de producir, genera miedo. Al fin y al cabo, eso nada tiene de nuevo. El miedo ha sido siempre, junto con la codicia, uno de los dos motores más activos del sistema que otrora se llamaba capitalismo.”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from Upside Down: A Primer for the Looking-Glass World
“The simplicity of living astounds me. But it’s the terror of death that devours me.”

“You know, there is only one letter's difference between lonely and lovely," I told him once when he was down. "There is only one letter's difference between loner and loser," he retorted.”

“Nothing spells trouble like two drunk cowboys with a rocket launcher.”
― C.J. Box, quote from Cold Wind
“First thing: There is no need to survive in this world. This world is a madhouse. There is no need to survive in it. There is no need to survive in the world of ambition, politics, ego. It is the disease. But there is another way to be, and the whole religious standpoint is: You can be in this world and not be of it. “When I listen to my feelings, my inner voice, they tell me to do nothing.…” Then don’t do anything. There is nobody higher than you, and God speaks to you directly. Start trusting your inner feelings. Then don’t do anything. If you feel just to sleep, eat, and play on the beach, perfect. Let that be your religion. Don’t be afraid then. You will have to drop fear. And if it is a question of choosing between the inner feeling and the fear, choose the inner feeling. Don’t choose the fear. So many people have chosen their path out of fear, so they live in a limbo, they live in indecision. Fear is not going to help. Fear always means the fear of the unknown. Fear always means the fear of death. Fear always means the fear of being lost—but if you really want to be alive, you have to accept the possibility of being lost. You have to accept the insecurity of the unknown, the discomfort and the inconvenience of the unfamiliar, the strange. That is the price one has to pay for the blessing that follows it, and nothing can be achieved without paying for it. You have to pay for it: Otherwise you will remain fear-paralyzed. Your whole life will be lost. Enjoy whatsoever your inner feeling is.”

EmmaBookQuoters 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.
