“Мужика белобрысого зовут Дункан Макинтош, а его партия называется “Пусть катятся, откуда пришли”. Этот Макинтош хочет всех из Британии насильно выгнать: черных, коричневых, желтых, красных, евреев, ирландцев, уэльсцев, шотландцев, кельтов и потомков норманнов. В общем, останутся только чистокровные блондинистые саксонцы, и больше никого. Мама высчитала, что если этот Макинтош к власти придет, то он и будет населением Британии.”

“Sir, winning is usually a matter of making one less mistake than the enemy or just getting up one more time than you get knocked down.”
― Jack Campbell, quote from Valiant

“We are all of us both light and dark, do you not find it so, Miss Tremayne? Wanting in our hearts to do right and able to do wrong. And so it’s the choices we’ve made, surely, that make of us what we are.”

“They are like pythons in the jungle. The smallest child can crush a python egg. But let the snake hatch and grow and the python with squeeze and devour the child.”
― Richard Paul Evans, quote from Hunt for Jade Dragon

“Who is responsible for the incredible mess the present-day generation of
Americans find themselves in? In this book, I hope to show exactly how this
happened. A series of deadly, inexplicable decisions by our elected leaders
and corporate executives have paved the way to the crisis we must deal with
now. Corruption has grown entrenched, like an inoperable disease, in nearly
every organ of the establishment. We must heed the words of one of America’s
greatest statesmen, Thomas Jefferson: “Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed
to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, begun at a
distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of
ministers [administrations], too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan
of reducing us to slavery.” The American people have been dealing with just
such a “series of oppressions” now for well over a century, and there can
be little doubt that it is the result of a “deliberate systematic plan.” The best
word to describe it is conspiracy.”
― Donald Jeffries, quote from Hidden History: An Exposé of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics

“It’s true what they say about red-headed chicks, you know, they all have a wee bit of crazy in them.”
― Karina Halle, quote from The Pact

About BookQuoters

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.
