“Flesh-and-blood men were the real monsters, and they could be cut down easily enough.”

“A teacher (a good teacher) is composed of molecules of education and intelligence, bonded together by patience and passion.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, quote from Catalyst
“Mắt của cô thật to và sáng, như thể chúng nhìn thấy nhiều hơn chúng có thể hiểu được. Sáng lên với kinh hoàng, và ở bên dưới sự kinh hoàng là sự lúng túng vô bờ bến. Đó là thứ làm cho chúng trông thật sáng. Bạn phải bị điên để nhìn được mọi thứ thật rõ ràng, thật cùng một lúc. Nếu bạn vĩ đại bạn có thể giữ nguyên như thế và người ta sẽ tin vào bạn, sẽ thề bằng tên bạn, sẽ đảo lộn thế giới cho bạn. Nhưng nếu bạn chỉ hơi hơi vĩ đại, hoặc không là gì cả, thì thứ xảy ra với bạn là lạc lối.”

Leadership Wisdom fr...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.
