“Your own forefathers killed to have and hold the land where you were born, and sought to extinguish the memories and souls of those that were slain. What of those who prayed in the mountains of Appalachia for thousands of years? That to me is an abomination, although it is the way of men.”
― Bruce Lee Bond, quote from The Broken Coast
“Part of me shall dwell in my daughter to call upon in times of need of course.”
― Bruce Lee Bond, quote from The Broken Coast
“Absolution exists, call it Christian or whatever. It’s far older than any creed, and one of our blessings.”

“ 'What have you done?' I whispered.
She swallowed, and the guilt in her eyes was extinguished by a flare of defiance.
'This,' she said, 'is my ticket to outer space.' ”
― Kenneth Oppel, quote from Starclimber
“To su zapravo sve pločice dječijih igračaka, religija, božićnih bedastoća, idila koje uznse KULT ČISTE LAŽI, a iza svega toga proviruje roba: kupujte margarin, čokoladu, naranče, vaniliju, sukno, gumilje! Ljudi su izmislili tapete, sagove, parkete, cijevi s ugrijanom vodom, staklena vrata, zlatne ribice, kaktuse i čitave izloge knjiga po svojim stanovima, koje nitko ne čita. Ljudi su nagomilali pod svojim krovovima kitajsku majoliku, akvarele, damastne stolnjake, svilene čarape, krzna i dragulje. Ljudi lakiraju svoje nokte kao perverzni istočnjaci, kupaju se u mramornim kupaonicama, voze se ugrijanim kočijama, piju gorke želučane likere, ali pojma zapravo nemaju ŠTO JE TO ŽIVOTNA STVARNOST I KAKO BI JE TREBALO ŽIVJETI?”
― Miroslav Krleža, quote from The Return of Philip Latinowicz
“a sermon was meant to be like a woman’s skirt, long enough to cover the essentials and short enough to keep one interested!”

Free Food for Millio...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.
