“It's only when caterpillarness is done that one becomes a butterfly. That again is part of this paradox. You cannot rip away caterpillarness. The whole trip occurs in an unfolding process of which we have no control.”
― Ram Dass, quote from Be Here Now

“Η ειρωνεία ήταν ότι λίγο πριν αρρωστήσει, ήμουν απολύτως βέβαιη ποια ήμουν και τι ήθελα. Ήμουν η κόρη του Τζόρτζ Γκάλντεν και ήθελα να τον κάνω να μ' αγαπήσει. Και, από πολλές απόψεις, εξακολουθώ να του μοιάζω. Είμαι όμως και το τελευταίο επιζών μέλος της Λέσχης Βιβλίου και του Ομίλου Μαγειρικής των Κοριτσιών Γκάλντεν· αυτό δε θα το ξεχάσω ποτέ, ούτε και θα είμαι ποτέ η ίδια πια. Ποτέ ξανά δε θα πω ότι η Άννα έπραξε σωστά όταν έκλεισε την πόρτα πίσω της και ακολούθησε τον Βρόνσκι· πάντα θα σκέφτομαι το μικρό Σεριόζα να τρέμει στο διάδρομο, περιμένοντας τη μαμά να γυρίσει, όπως περιμένω κι εγώ μερικές φορές τη δικιά μου, σηκώνοντας διστακτικά το ακουστικό για να τηλεφωνήσω και μετά θυμάμαι ότι η γυναίκα με την οποία έχω ανάγκη να μιλήσω είναι νεκρή εδώ και μια δεκαετία περίπου.

Η μητέρα μου με σημάδεψε στο τέλος, κι έτσι τώρα μπορώ να βλέπω τον πατέρα μου, όπως τον έβλεπε εκείνη, με θαυμασμό και, ταυτόχρονα, με κρυφό οίκτο. Ο πατέρας μου δεν είναι κακός. Απλώς είναι αδύναμος.”
― Anna Quindlen, quote from One True Thing

“Twas said better to light a candle than curse the dark...”
― Robert R. McCammon, quote from The Queen of Bedlam

“Alex said, his voice subdued, tense. “So it would seem,” D.D.”
― Lisa Gardner, quote from Live to Tell

“The thing about the Nazis," Ruud said, "is that they're paranoid, but they never see what's right under their noses. If they did, Hitler wouldn't wear that bloody silly little moustache.”
― Mal Peet, quote from Tamar

About BookQuoters

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.
