“Sólo el individuo que vive en soledad es una criatura sujeta a leyes profundas y si sale al empezar la mañana, o mira hacia la tarde que está vibrante de vida y comprende lo que le rodea, entonces todo se desprende de él, como si de un cadáver se tratara, aunque siga en la plenitud de la vida.”
― Douglas Coupland, quote from Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture

“Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess”
― Robert Jordan, quote from The Path of Daggers

“Jede Geschichte, die wir über uns erzählen, kann nur in der Vergangenheit erzählt werden. Sie spult sich von dort, wo wir heute stehen, nach rückwärts ab, und wir sind nicht mehr ihre Akteure, sondern ihre Zuschauer, die sich entschieden haben zu sprechen. Manchmal ist die Spur hinter uns mit Steinen markiert, wie die, die Hänsel hinter sich fallen ließ. Dann wieder ist die Fährte fort, weil bei Sonnenaufgang die Vögel herabgeflogen sind und alle Krumen aufgepickt haben.”
― Siri Hustvedt, quote from What I Loved

“For Breezes remind me of kisses. And kisses can be eternal.”
― John Shors, quote from Beneath a Marble Sky

“I've decided that I'm not going to try to squeeze myself into a friendship that hurts me any more. I'm going to let her go and just be friends with people who make me feel good about my self.”
― Zoe Sugg, quote from Girl Online

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.
