“WE ALMOST NEVER think of the present, and when we do, it is only to see what light it throws on our plans for the future.1 These are Pascal’s words, and it is easy to see how perceptive he was about the virtual nonexistence of the present, consumed as we are by using the past to plan what-comes-next, a moment away or in the distant future. That”

“How the Committee of 300 Arranges Elections The term “fair and free elections” has no meaning in the U.S. The candidates for the presidency are selected by the Committee of 300 so in reality it does not matter who “wins” the election and goes on to the White House. The”

― John Brunner, quote from The Shockwave Rider
“إن لائحة تقنيات السيطرة على الأدمغة طويلة.و هم يريدون عقلك لأنهم عندما يحصلون عليه،يحصلون عليك.و يكمن الحل في أن نسترد عقولنا،و أن نفكر بأنفسنا و لأنفسنا،و أن نسمح للآخرين بأن يفعلوا مثلنا من دون أن نخشى السخرية أو الإدانة بجرم الإختلاف عن الآخرين.إذا لم نفعل ذلك،فالبرنامج الذي سأشرحه لاحقا سينفّذ،إنما إذا أستعدنا السيطرة على عقولنا و أستردينا سلطتنا على تفكيرنا،فلن ينفذ البرنامج لأن أسسه لن تكون موجودة”

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.
