“الصدق دائما يفضل الكذب ، ليس لمجرد الدافع الخلقي ، ولكن أيضا لأن الحقيقة هي التي يسهل تذكرها .”
― Peter Benchley, quote from The Girl of the Sea of Cortez
“بالنسبة لهن البدانة دليل على التقدم الطبيعي في الحياة . كفتيات كن رشيقات ، ثم مع بداية العشرينات من أعمارهن صرن ممتلئات . ومن منتصف إلى أواخر العشرينات أصبحن مكتنزات . وفي الثلاثينات أمسين بدينات . ثم في الأربعينات بتن كالجبال .”
― Peter Benchley, quote from The Girl of the Sea of Cortez
“القوة ليست الضخامة وحدها ، والأعنف ليس بمن يحطم شيئا بيديه العاريتين . القوة تعني الذكاء والبراعة والابداع ، والأعنف قد يكون من يعرف كيف يحيا دون تبديد جهده ، أو أن يسبح ضد التيار من هنا لهناك دون أن يتملكه الاجهاد فيغرق .”
― Peter Benchley, quote from The Girl of the Sea of Cortez
“يبدو أنه مع الأطفال ركز على اعتبار الفشل عاملا لا يقل أهمية عن النجاح . عامل ضروري لا يستحق الخوف منه ، والخوف تستتبعه عدم القدرة على المخضي في الصعاب . التجربة أهم من النجاح والفشل معا .”
― Peter Benchley, quote from The Girl of the Sea of Cortez
“لقد تعلمت أن الشكوى مضيعة للوقت ، إن لم تستسغ أمرا فعليها تغييره ، وإن لم يكن قابلا للتغيير فلتقبله . وإن تعذر هذا وذاك ، فلتغير ظروفها الخاصة لتلائم الوضع الجدي .”
― Peter Benchley, quote from The Girl of the Sea of Cortez

“Mr. Tall, blond and delicious?” She’s a huge fan of Gabriel’s. Maybe it’s because he kissed her hand, or because he showed her nothing but courtesy during that weekend in the castle. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because she knows I’m in love with him.”

Friday Night BitesBookQuoters 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.
