But you have to know how.”

“I didn’t want them to be gay anymore. I didn’t want people like Mrs. Perry to make a face and step away from them; I didn’t want Mike to shuffle his feet and clear frogs out of his throat whenever he talked to my dad; and I didn’t want Chad to go around making fun of himself so nobody else could. And most of all, I didn’t want them to have AIDS.”
― Jennifer Gooch Hummer, quote from Girl Unmoored
“She wanders on like a poplar leaf borne upon a whirlwind of unconscious associations, she, her youth, her illusions and her former happiness remembered now through the mists of a ruined mind.”

...
الحقيقة هي السيد ، ..
و الحقيقة هي اسمه و كلامه ،
مع حب غير محدود
الناس يتضرعون و يصلون :
(اعطنا .. اعطنا)
و المعطي العظيم يعطيهم هداياه
فما التقدمة التي نستطيع وضعها أمامه ،
بعد كل هذا ، كي تشفع لنا في محكمته ؟
ما هي الكلمات التي نستطيع قولها
لاستحضار حبه ؟
...
في وقت السحر ،
بساعات اللذة الروحانية فيما قبل الفجر
أنشد اسمه
و تأمل عظمته و مجده
...

(Karma)
حصلنا على هذا الرداء من الجسد المادي ..،
و بنعمته عثرنا على بوابة التحرر
اوه ناناك ، نعرف هذا جيدا:
الواحد الصحيح .. هو نفسه .. الكل
*****
*(الكارما هي مجموعة من تصرفاتنا السابقة في حيوات و تجسدات اخرى ، و التي ربما أدت الى اعادة تجسدنا مرة اخرى ، و عدم تحرر ارواحنا من التجسد كما يعتقد المؤمنين بها، و يعتقد السيخ بامكانية تحرر ارواحنا من التجسد بواسطة نعمة الله الحق)”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“After all,' Magnus remarked aloud to himself, swinging his monkey-headed cane, 'attractive and interesting persons do not simply drop out of the sky.'
It was then that the fair-headed Shadowhunter that Magnus had spotted at the Institute somersaulted from the top of a wall and landed gracefully in the street before him.
'Devastating ensembles made on Bond Street with red brocade waistcoats do not simply drop out of the sky!' Magnus proclaimed experimentally to the Heavens.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale
“Falling in love often happens at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with the wrong person.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Surrender Your Love
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.
