“The noise kept up and did not stop. My head rang. I saw Shepherd take the chewing gum from his mouth, break it into two, and stick it in both ears. He kept working.”
― Kenneth Oppel, quote from Starclimber
“Ljudi su izmislili tapete sagove parkete cijevi s ugrijanom vodom staklena vrata zlatne ribice kaktuse i čitave izloge knjiga po svojim stanovima koje nitko ne čita. Ljudi su nagomilali pod svojim krovovima kitajsku majoliku damastne stolnjake svilene čarape krzna i dragulje. Ljudi lakiraju svoje nokte kao perverzni istočnjaci kupaju se u mramornim kupaonicama voze se u ugrijanim kočijama piju gorke želučane likere ali pojma zapravo nemaju što je to životna stvarnost i kako bi trebalo živjeti”

“One should never let sleeping dogs lie.”

“But every time I told myself one lie, I had to tell another to justify the ones that came before it.”
― David Weber, quote from On Basilisk Station
“Sir Arthur St. Clare, as I have already said, was a man who read his Bible. That was what was the matter with him. When will people understand that it is useless for a man to read his Bible unless he also reads everybody else's Bible? A printer reads a Bible for misprints. A Mormon reads his Bible, and finds polygamy; a Christian Scientist reads his, and finds we have no arms and legs. St. Clare was an old Anglo-Indian Protestant soldier. Now, just think what that might mean; and, for Heaven's sake, don't cant about it. It might mean a man physically formidable living under a tropic sun in an Oriental society, and soaking himself without sense or guidance in an Oriental Book. Of course, he read the Old Testament rather than the New. Of course, he found in the Old Testament anything that he wanted—lust, tyranny, treason. Oh, I dare say he was honest, as you call it. But what is the good of a man being honest in his worship of dishonesty?”
― G.K. Chesterton, quote from The Innocence of Father Brown

Prokleta avlijaBookQuoters 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.
