“Each of us has our own self-image, but what few realize, is that every person around us also possesses an image of us, no less real than our own. Every person close to us has a version of us in their hearts that no one else can replicate or replace.”
― Michael G. Manning, quote from The God-Stone War
“If other furniture items could see his actions that day, and if that same furniture then had dreams… well they’d have been horrific nightmares of wooden destruction at the hands of a metal clad monster, i.e. Dorian Thornbear.”

“This can’t be real. It will never be real, I won’t accept it. This isn’t happening. In her mind she saw his eyes open again, remembering her relief at seeing him alive. But he wasn’t… As soon as his hand had touched her, as it had so often before, she had known. The cold”

“Be proud of your pain, for you are stronger than those with none.”
― Lois Lowry, quote from Gathering Blue
“_وروحك؟أين تظنين أنها ذهبت؟
_لابد أنها تهيم على الأرض مثل أرواح كثيرة اخرى،تبحث عن أحياء ليصلوا من أجلها
ربما إنها تكرهني للمعاملة السيئة التي عاملتها بها،ولكن هذا لايقلقني لقد استرحت من عادتها الذميمة بالتأنيب.فقد كانت تملأ بالمرارة حتى القليل مما كنت آكله،وتجعل ليالي لا تطاق وهي تملؤها بأفكار مقلقة عن صور لمحكومين بالعذاب الأبدي وأشياء من هذا القبيل.وعندما رقدت لأموت،رجتني أن أنهض وأتابع جرجرة الحياة،وكأنها مامتزال تنتظر معجزة ماتنظف خطاياي.لكنني لم أكبد نفسي ولو مشقة المحاولة،وقلت لها: هنا انتهت الطريق.ما عادت لدي قوة للمزيد
وفتحت فمي لتخرج منه.ومضت.وأحسست بخيط الدم الذي كانت ترتبط به إلى قلبي وهو يسقط بين يدي .
دوروتيا”
― Juan Rulfo, quote from Pedro Páramo
“I let myself slip away... Just to stay sane. Just to get through it. And when I felt myself slipping too far, I held on to the one thing I'm always sure of - Blue eyes. Bronze curls. The fact that Simon Snow is the most powerful magician alive. That nothing can hurt him, not even me. That Simon Snow is alive. And I'm hopelessly in love with him.”
― Rainbow Rowell, quote from Carry On
“What is the use of stories that arent even true?”

― Larry Niven, quote from Ringworld
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.
