“Deep down, even the oldest man in the world refuse to learn from his own mistakes, I thought”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Cursed graze that burns; cursed mind that never stops thinking. Mirrors that don’t lie; doubts that torment; dictators who torture every hope on the rack. The crossroads approach, and it makes my head spin; we choose the path that allows us to sleep; we reject the tempting loophole. Lose yourself within the eyes of the one who deceives, or find yourself within those of the one who still loves you. The uncertainty of what hasn’t been experienced versus the certainty of the already expired. Merge the experiences; the game is as controlled as a fire. Feel the heat; feel the cold. Wager, then, on your own defeat.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“No. That you shouldn’t deny a reality just because you don’t have the evidence for it yet.”

“If something is true, the evidence will appear,”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“you shouldn’t deny a reality just because you don’t have the evidence for it yet.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Mi madre me explicó una vez que el duelo tiene cinco etapas y que ella ayudaba a sus pacientes a pasar por todas ellas sin que ninguna se convirtiese en patológica. Recuerdo que esas etapas eran la incredulidad, luego la rabia. No me acuerdo de la tercera y la cuarta, pero la última era la aceptación.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Lo peor de la muerte es a los que deja vivos.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“A veces los días nacen prometiendo besos y abrazos. A veces estos besos y abrazos llegan, y no puedes reprocharle nada al día, pero no son de ningún modo como tú los esperabas. A esos días solo puedes pedirles un poco más, y por suerte ese deseo es siempre concedido: que mueran cuanto antes y que llegue un nuevo día.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“When people are left without any goals, they need time to reorder their priorities and fill the void their obsession has left in their thoughts and routine.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“We are whatever time we have remaining.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Yet again in life, I was wrong. Not even the passage of millennia makes you infallible.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“We are whatever time we have remaining.” —José Manuel Caballero Bonald”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Sometimes the day dawns with the promise of cuddles and kisses. Sometimes that promise is fulfilled and you can’t reproach the day, even if it turns out to be nothing like what you were expecting. You can only ask one small thing from those sorts of days, and luckily that request is always granted: that they end as soon as possible, and that a new day arrives.”

Gone with the WindBookQuoters 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.
