“Think about it. Think how it works. We deceive ourselves far more easily than others deceive us. Our false perceptions betray us. Our fears and doubts worm their way into our subconscious and cause us to believe what isn't necessarily true but becomes true through our own fixation on the possibilities.”
― Terry Brooks, quote from The High Druid's Blade
“Sie wissen, dass Zeit ein sehr dünner Aufguß des Todes ist, der uns langsam zugefügt wird wie ein harmloses Gift. Anfangs belebt es und lässt uns sogar glauben, wir seien fast unsterblich - aber wenn es Tropfen um Tropfen, Tag für Tag um einen Tropfen und einen Tag stärker wird, verändert es sich in eine Säure, die unser Blut trübe macht und zerstört. Selbst wenn wir versuchen wollten, mit den Jahren, die wir noch haben, die Jugend zurückzukaufen, so könnten wir es nicht, die Säure der Zeit hat uns verändert, und die chemische Verbindung ist nicht mehr dieselbe, es müsste denn ein Wunder geschehen.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“Я больше, чем сумма моих составляющих.”

“Just like children, emotions heal when they are heard and validated.”

Strange PilgrimsBookQuoters 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.
