“Men respect the silent; they despise the garrulous. - Marius”
― Conn Iggulden, quote from The Gates of Rome
“Perhaps he needs the money. Some of the men live too richly for their purses, if you understand me. Fame would allow him large debts, but everything has to be paid back in the end.”
― Conn Iggulden, quote from The Gates of Rome
“I have been distracted from my duty as a father to some extent, but there is no greater exercise to a man’s talents than the upbringing of his son.”
― Conn Iggulden, quote from The Gates of Rome
“The man attempted to salute and Renius forced himself to smile, biting back his temper at the sloppy manners. He watched the fat figure run away into the buildings and wiped the first beads of sweat from his brow. Strange that such men as that should understand loyalty where so many others threw it aside at the first hint of freedom.”
― Conn Iggulden, quote from The Gates of Rome
“I will need good friends around me if I am to survive my first year of politics. My father described it as walking barefoot in a nest of vipers.”

“maria puder son birkaç dakika zarfında biraz sükunetini kaybetmişe benziyordu. bunu tespit edince memnun oldum: onun hiç sarsılmadan gittiğini görmek, beni herhalde pek üzecekti. mütemadiyen elimi tutup bırakıyor:
"ne manasız şey?.. ne diye gidiyorsun sanki?" diye söyleniyordu.
"asıl sen gidiyorsun , ben daha burdayım!" dedim.
bu sözümü fark etmemiş göründü. kolumdan tuttu.
"raif... şimdi ben gidiyorum!" dedi.
"evet... biliyorum!"
trenin hareket saati gelmişti. bir memur vagon kapısını örtüyordu. maria puder merdiven basamağına atladı, sonra bana eğilerek, yavaş bir sesle, fakat tane tane:
"şimdi ben gidiyorum. fakat ne zaman çağırsan gelirim..." dedi.
evvela ne demek istediğini anlamadım. o da bir an durdu ve ilave etti:
"nereye çağırsan gelirim!”
― Sabahattin Ali, quote from Kürk Mantolu Madonna
“How am I supposed to forget you?” Helen asked, laughing weakly at such a silly suggestion. “You’re too big a part of me. I’d have to forget who I am to forget you.”

“She pushed him onto the couch and straddled him...
Min swallowed "the thing is, im going to spread. Hips, thighs-"
"Not till nine-thirty," Cal said trying not to picture her.
"-waist," Min said then stopped. "What? nine-thirty? Not till my forties, probably, i think i can fight it off that long, but then-"
"What?" Cal said.
"Im going to get fat," Min said, and he blinked. "Er. Im going to get fatter." she frowned at him. "what did you think i meant?"
"for future reference," he said starting to laugh. "if you're sitting half naked on my lap and you tell me you're going to spread-"
"No! I would never say that!" she said.”

Journey to the Cente...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.
