“[From The Jilting of Granny Weatherall]

You waste life when you waste good food.”
― Katherine Anne Porter, quote from The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter


“The need of one human being for the approval of his fellow humans, the need for a certain cult of fellowship—a psychological, almost physiological need for approval of one’s thought and action. A force that kept men from going off at unsocial tangents, a force that made for social security and human solidarity, for the working together of the human family. Men died for that approval, sacrificed for that approval, lived lives they loathed for that approval. For without it a man was on his own, an outcast, an animal that had been driven from the pack. It had led to terrible things, of course—to mob psychology, to racial persecution, to mass atrocities in the name of patriotism or religion. But likewise it had been the sizing that held the race together, the thing that from the very start had made human society possible.”
― Clifford D. Simak, quote from City


“(Cristo) Amaba a los ignorantes, como todos los poetas, pues sabía que siempre hay espacio en el alma de un ignorante para una gran idea. Pero no podía soportar a los necios, especialmente a aquellos embrutecidos por la educación, vale decir, a esas gentes que poseen un juicio a punto para todo, aunque no comprendan ninguno; un tipo, éste, especialmente moderno, y que describe Cristo bajo la forma de aquél que posee la llave de la sabiduría y no la sabe emplear, ni permite que la empleen los demás a pesar de que ésta, acaso, sirva para abrir la puerta del reino de Dios.”
― Oscar Wilde, quote from De Profundis and Other Writings


“But maybe love doesn't have to be about lust, maybe I could learn to love, maybe.”
― Jane Green, quote from Mr. Maybe


“I don't think he could ever be a serial killer. He's way too shy. That Ted Bundy guy, he was pretty outgoing , from what I heard.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from When Lightning Strikes

About BookQuoters

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.
