“MUTTER COURAGE Mir scheint, ich hab zu lang gehandelt.”
― Bertolt Brecht, quote from Mother Courage and Her Children
“Nigdy nie uważał, że „czyta” książki. Język był w tym wypadku równie zdradziecki, jak u hazardzisty, który przechwala się wygraną partią, tak jakby siłą lub determinacją wydarł losowi zwycięstwo, gdy tymczasem szczęśliwy rzut sztonami nie był niczym więcej, jak tylko udaną próbą wykorzystania chwili własnej bezradności. Otwarcie książki zaś wiązało się z ryzykiem zupełnie innej miary. Otwierając książkę, nie tylko stawał się bezradny, nie tylko oddawał ileś tam zazdrośnie strzeżonych uderzeń serca władającemu piórem obcemu człowiekowi, lecz pozwalał samego siebie napisać. Czymże jest bowiem lektura księgi, jeśli nie ciągłym poddawaniem się nieprzewidywalnym kaprysom duszy jej autora?”
― R. Scott Bakker, quote from The Warrior Prophet
“Would you think me such a fool that you could be here, in this city, this building, THIS ROOM and me not know about it??”

The Red GardenBookQuoters 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.
