“I'm so sorry. I love you. I never could have hurt you.”
― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl


“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.”
― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl


“he says at last, bidding me good evening as though it were”
― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl

― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl


“governor’s office,” Diedrichson says solemnly without”
― Pam Jenoff, quote from The Kommandant's Girl

“جهان عشق است و دیگر زرق سازی
همه بازی ست الا عشق بازی

فلک جز عشق محرابی ندارد
جهان بی خاک عشق آبی ندارد

غلام عشق شو اندیشه این است
همه صاحبدلان را پیشه این است

دلی کز عشق خالی شد فسرده ست
گرش صد جان بُوَد بی عشق مرده ست

مبین در عقل کان سلطان جان است
قدم در عشق نه کان جان ِ جان است

ز سوز عشق خوش تر در جهان نیست
که بی او گل نخندید، ابر نگریست

طبایع جز کشش کاری ندارند
حکیمان این کشش را عشق خوانند

گر اندیشه کنی از راه بینش
به عشق است ایستاده آفرینش

چو من بی عشق خود را جان ندیدم
دلی بفروختم، جانی خریدم

کمر بستم به عشق این داستان را
صلای عشق در دادم جهان را”
― Nizami Ganjavi, quote from Layla and Majnun

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.
