“the first rule of being a team is trusting one another. And if you trust someone, you let her keep her secrets. When she is ready to tell you, she will. You dont have to know everything, Anaka.
Why not? Why should I trust Oona if she doesnt trust me? How do I know she's not hiding somthing more dangerous?
Oona was worried the rest of you would see her differently, Kiki bristled. Don't prove her right.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Empress's Tomb
“... never brag about your expertise. Instead, wait for the opportunity to showcase your skills and watch all the jaws drop.”

― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet
“الإنسان تأتيه فكره عظيمة، فجأة يركّز عقله عليها لحظة من الزمن، عند هذه النقطة تتدخل العادة. كأن تشكو معدته الجوع، أو يجفّ ريقه ويهمس في أذنه صوت صفير مزيف: إذهب واشبع حاجاتك الجسدية فتغدوا قادراً على التركيز أكثر من ذي قبل. فتراه ينقاد للصوت وسرعان ما ينسى الفكرة العظيمة.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites

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.
