“Just because the boat rocks doesn't mean it's time to jump overboard.”
― Suzanne Woods Fisher, quote from The Keeper
“I think you're the kind of man a girl can count on. You just can't let go of losing your family. You can't let yourself love because you think your heart can't handle it . . . that something bad will happen. But you're wrong. It's true . . . grief is the price for love. But hearts are made to mend. Christ can do wonders with a broken heart, if given all the pieces.”
― Suzanne Woods Fisher, quote from The Keeper
“Time is like the Mississippi River. It only flows in one direction. You can never go back.”

“What was home, really? Just a place to lay your head.
No. It was so much more than that. It was a place where a person belonged. Where a fellow would be missed. It was a part of a man. Something that couldn't be sold or taken for granted.”
― Suzanne Woods Fisher, quote from The Keeper
“He wanted to leave the past a few hundred miles down the road, shake it off like dust. But that ws the problem with the past. It kept finding him.”

“But then it came to her…just change your mind about it. About everything. Shit. That was it. "What an idiot she was. It was that simple. Just decide to stop struggling and embrace it all as a gift. And in a single second, everything is different.”
― Karen Kondazian, quote from The Whip
“Insomnia
I wonder
If those talks matter
Few done in the clarity of day
Or the many
Done at 3 a.m. in the morning”
― Irum Zahra, quote from Psychaotic: See The World In Red And Black
“Начнем с того, что, на мой взгляд, только люди могут отделить сон от грез наяву. Будь ты львенком, медузой или папоротником — ты не отличишь бодрствование от сна. Мне кажется, что еще несколько тысяч лет назад люди тоже так считали. А потом появился человек, который разрушил замкнутый круг и раскрыл разницу между двумя мирами. Несколько сотен лет люди свыкались с мыслью, что жизнь наяву и мечта — две совершенно разные вещи. И этого бы не случилось без того, первого «Джереми».
А после произошло еще кое-что. Имея представление о мире мечты и реальной жизни, мы еще не подозревали о прошлом, настоящем и будущем. Был день, снова день, и день за ним.
завтра = вчера = сегодня = то же самое = всегда
Наверняка не обошлось без первопроходца, который совершил основополагающий скачок, — того, кто рассказал остальным о существовании места, где нас нет и где все не так, как мы привыкли. Из-за мысли о будущем жизнь людей изменилась. Их потомки стали жить по-другому, лучше. Мы научились прилагать ум к действию и усовершенствовали способы выполнения задач. И это людям открыл такой же человек, как Джереми.
А потом пришел еще кто-то и рассказал нашим предкам, что существуют не только жизнь и смерть, а еще и жизнь после смерти. Вещатель, Джереми. Мой сын был рожден сказителем, и теперь он решил переложить свою задачу на меня.”
― Douglas Coupland, quote from Eleanor Rigby

The Bourne SupremacyBookQuoters 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.
