“تنظم الأخلاق في شكلٍ ثلاثي , يكون الطرفان الأول والأخير فيهما تطرف ورذيلة والوسط فضل أو فضيلة , وهكذا يكون بين التهور والجبن فضيلة الشجاعة , وبين الكسل والجشع فضيلة الطموح , وبين البخل والإسراف فضيلة الكرم , و بين الكتمان والثرثرة فضيلة الأمانة, وبين الكآبة المزاح فضيلة البشاشة , وبين محبة الخصام والتملق فضيلة الصداقة”
― Will Durant, quote from The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the World's Greatest Philosophers


“Unconnected to the life of love, uncolored by love, the world resumes its own, its natural and callous importance. This is first a blow, then an odd consolation. And already I felt my old self - my old, devious, ironic, isolated self - beginning to breathe again and stretch and settle, though all around it my body clung cracked and bewildered, in the stupid pain of loss.”
― Alice Munro, quote from Lives of Girls and Women


“The Mongol army had accomplished in a mere two years what the European Crusaders from the West and the Seljuk Turks from the East had failed to do in two centuries of sustained effort. They had conquered the heart of the Arab world. No other non-Muslim troops would conquer Baghdad or Iraq again until the arrival of the American and British forces in 2003.”
― Jack Weatherford, quote from Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World


“Lizzie Bright Griffin, do you ever wish the world would just go ahead and swallow you whole?"

"Sometimes I do," she said, and then smiled. "but sometimes I figure I should just go ahead and swallow it.”
― Gary D. Schmidt, quote from Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy


“I'm wearing clothes in my thoughts and dreams though. What am I wearing in yours?" she asked.

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.
