“„Pluń na wszystko, co minęło: na własną boleść i na cudzą nikczemność... Wybierz sobie jakiś cel, jakikolwiek i zacznij nowe życie.”
― Bolesław Prus, quote from The Doll
“Bywają wielkie zbrodnie na świecie, ale chyba największą jest zabić miłość. Tyle lat upłynęło, prawie pół wieku ; wszystko przeszło: majątek, tytuły, młodość, szczęście... Sam tylko żal nie przeszedł i pozostał, mówię ci, taki świeży, jakby to było wczoraj. Ach, gdyby nie wiara, że jest inny świat, w którym podobno wynagrodzą tutejsze krzywdy, kto wie, czy nie przeklęłoby się i życia, i jego konwenansów...”
― Bolesław Prus, quote from The Doll
“Przecież dlatego kobiety wszędzie są niewolnicami, że lgną do tych, którzy je lekceważą.”
― Bolesław Prus, quote from The Doll
“Bo widzisz, najgorszą samotnością nie jest ta, która otacza człowieka, ale ta pustka w nim samym.”
― Bolesław Prus, quote from The Doll
“Przez rok cierpiałem na jakąś chorobę mózgową, a zdawało mi się, że jestem zakochany.”
― Bolesław Prus, quote from The Doll
“Toteż mając lat osiemnaście, panna Izabela tyranizowała mężczyzn chłodem.”
― Bolesław Prus, quote from The Doll

“El otro se alejó para no estorbar, mas era tal la atención que el viejo dispensaba al libro, que no soportó quedar al margen.
—¿De qué trata?
—Del amor.
Ante la respuesta del viejo, el otro se acercó con renovado interés.
—No jodas. ¿Con hembras ricas, calentonas?
El viejo cerró de sopetón el libro haciendo vacilar la llama de la lámpara.
—No. Se trata del otro amor. Del que duele.”
― Luis Sepúlveda, quote from The Old Man Who Read Love Stories

Half LostBookQuoters 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.
