“That is almost always the way with stories. True to their very core, even when the events and the people in them are different.”
― quote from The Glass Sentence
“Men may irritate women entirely by accident, but I believe they infuriate one another wholly by design.”
― quote from The Glass Sentence
“There can be no scholar without the heroic mind.”
― quote from The Glass Sentence

- Es brēcu. Tikai jūs to nedzirdat.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die

“Joe was probably the only other human on the planet who liked coffee as much as I did. He started drinking it when he was six. I copied him immediately. I was four. Neither of us has stopped since. The Reacher brothers’ need for caffeine makes heroin addiction look like an amusing little take-it-or-leave-it sideline.”
― Lee Child, quote from The Enemy
“كم يحز في نفس امرأة أن تعيش في جوار رجل أحبها في السابق حباً مضطرماً واليوم لا يعبأ بها إلا قليلاً، حتى أنه لا يحاول أن يواري عنها ولعه بأخرى ص 389”

The Gum ThiefBookQuoters 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.
