“Never say never. You never know when never may come.”
― T.A. Uner, quote from The Leopard Stratagem

“Life isn't always about answers... sometimes the questions themselves can enlighten us.”
― T.A. Uner, quote from The Leopard Stratagem
“Killing is nothing to be in awe of, it's like taking a piss, you do it only when you have to.”
― T.A. Uner, quote from The Leopard Stratagem
“Always remember, difficult situations are thrust upon those who have the power to influence events.”
― T.A. Uner, quote from The Leopard Stratagem
“Our delight in each other did not happen because he is the perfect man, or because he “loves me like Christ loves the church,” or because he is “sensitive to all my needs.” It didn’t happen because he takes the trash out, or cleans up after himself, or has always made a good living, providing me with all the things most women take for granted. It didn’t happen because he is a strong spiritual leader and always does the right thing. It happened and continues to happen because of the choices I make every day. I never have a chip on my shoulder, no matter how offended I have a right to be—and I do have reasons to be offended regularly. Every day, I remember to view myself as the woman God gave this man. This mind-set helps me be just that: a gift, a playmate, his helper.”
― Debi Pearl, quote from Created to be His Help Meet
“إن الأفراد الذين يملكون الشجاعة لتحقيق ذواتهم لا يموتون بسبب السرطان. بينما نجد الرجال الذين لديهم مثل هذه الإمكانيات، غير أنهم يفتقرون إلى التعبير عنها يشكلون نسبة كبيرة من مرضى السرطان. حيث أن عدم ثقتهم بالحياة يسمم أرواحهم”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“Strong combat leadership is never by committee. Platoon commanders must command, and command in battle isn't based on consensus. It's based on consent. Any leader wields only as much authority and influence as is conferred by the consent of those he leads. The Marines allowed me to be their commander, and they could revoke their permission at any time.”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
“[...] el universo murmura bajo la lluvia, Dios mío, qué dulce y suave tristeza, y que no nos falte nunca, ni siquiera en las horas de alegría.”
― José Saramago, quote from The History of the Siege of Lisbon
“Then set the hounds loose, boy - it's time to kick demonic ass!”
― Darren Shan, quote from Demon Thief
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.
