“Anna is something wrong " he asked his brow furrowed.
Yes I want to say. You ran a prison camp for Jews. You keep my parents locked in the ghetto. You let your wife's father be killed and would kill Jacob too if given the chance. Your wretched Gestapo came to our house and now Lukasz might have to leave us. Let me count the ways. Of course I did not dare to say any of this. "No Herr Kommandant " I replied managing to keep my voice even. "Everything is fine.”

“Why couldn't people's insides match their outsides? The world would be such a wonderful place if the nicer someone was, the more beautiful they became.”
― Jay Bell, quote from Something Like Summer
“¿Cuál era el secreto de una relación? Ta vez todo dependía de que lo que otra persona siente por nosotros nos haga sentir bien con nosotros mismos. Sonaba erevesado, pero era posible. A lo mejor era verdad que no somos más que espejos para los demás y que lo único que queremos todos es que nos digan lo fantástico que somos. Y tal vez ese sentimiento se ve reforzado si todos los demás también consideran guapa, inteligente o única a esa persona que nos llena de halagos. Pero si eso fuera así, el único deseo de todo el mundo sería sentirse especial y obtener reconocimiento por ello. ¿O había algo más? ¿Había algún ingrediente intangible en la conexión entre dos personas? ¿Había en una relación algo más que el refuerzo de egos respectivos?”

Till the Last Breath...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.
