“I'm just saying that I...I regret that everybody else has nineteen chances, and only I am limited to a single chance for my genes to continue."

“The origin of the Christian faith is therefore inexplicable unless Jesus really rose from the dead.”
― William Lane Craig, quote from Reasonable Faith
“Să aibă parte de o femeie matură trebuie să fie visul oricărui puşti. Dar cu mine e altceva. Ea mă interesează mai puţin ca iniţiatoare în erotism, cât pur şi simplu ca suflet şi gândire şi memorie de femeie coaptă, de femeie adevărată. Elevele sau studentele nu sunt, de cele mai multe ori, decât nişte mâţe închipuite, învăluite, e drept, în lumina de ambră a ochilor şi într-un fel de nonconformism năuc. Fără trecut, sau fără să şi-l conştientizeze încă, anexe de discotecă al căror erotism, când există, e unul pur social şi estetic, ele strepezesc imaginaţia ca nişte fructe încă necoapte. Cele mai multe nu se coc niciodată : le dispare şarmul şi se adaugă mulţimii de neveste cumsecade, cu o sinceră vocaţie a normalităţii. Ingineraşi, vaporeni, contabili - ei se aleg cu mândreţele de tigrese care unduiesc sub flacăra stroboscoapelor, sub peticele ameţitoare de lumină emise de globul cu oglinjoare.”
― Mircea Cărtărescu, quote from Nostalgia

UnteachableBookQuoters 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.
