“Abbey: Did you speak to me in a different language? When I was in the hospital?
Caspian: Something to keep the nightmares at bay. To let you know I was there. Tu sei una stella...la mia stella. It means 'You're a star. My star.”
― Jessica Verday, quote from The Hidden
“I promise you forever," I vowed to him, staring into his green eyes. "Whatever that is. Whatever I can give you. You have all of it. All of me."

― Jessica Verday, quote from The Hidden

And then he touched me.”

“الشريك الأساسي لهذا التورط من قبل الانسان ليس انسان آخر, لكنه النظام كنسيج يهدف ذاته. ينقسم الناس في هرم السلطة حسب درجة المسوؤلية, وليس بينها المسؤولية عن الكذب. إن الصراع بين مرام الحياة وأغراض النظام لا ينعكس في صراع بين طبقتين اجتماعيتين منفصلتين. النظرة العامة -بشكل تقريبي- تسمح بتقسيم المجتمع إلى حكام ومحكومين. هنا يكمن واحد من أهم الفروق بين نظام ما بعد الشمولية والديكتاتورية التقليدية, التي فيها يمكن رصد حدود هذا الصراع من الناحية الاجتماعية. في نظم ما بعد الشمولية هذه الحدود يصنعها في الواقع كل إنسان. حيث أن كل فردهو ضحية ودعامة. إن ما تعنيه كلمة نظام ليس النظام الذي يفرضه جماعة على الآخرين, لكنه شيء يتغلغل في المجتمع بأكمله ويشارك المجتمع في تشكيله. إنه شيء يبدو وكأنه لا يمكن الإمساك به, حيث أنه مجرد مبدأ, لكن في الواقع يمسك بالمجتمع بأكمله كعنصر هام يضمن له حياته.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless

FeedBookQuoters 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.
