“I’m scared because I love you so much sometimes it’s hard to breathe.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie


“Der Himmel schwieg. Und Törless fühlte, dass er unter diesem unbewegten, stummen Gewölbe ganz allein sei, er fühlte sich wie ein kleines lebendes Pünktchen under dieser riesigen, durchsichtigen Leiche.
Aber es schreckte ihn kaum mehr. Wie ein alter, längst vertrauter Schmerz hatte es nun auch das letzte Glied ergriffen.”
― Robert Musil, quote from The Confusions of Young Törless


“Mouth of teeth on him like a vandalised graveyard but we all have our crosses. It”

“She tries to think, but the monotonous stuttering of the wheels breaks the flow of her thoughts, and the narcotic cowl of sleep tightens over her throbbing forehead—that muffled and yet overpowering railroad-sleep in which one lies rapt and benumbed as though in a shuddering black coal sack made of metal.”
― Stefan Zweig, quote from The Post-Office Girl


“But maybe that isn't possible. Maybe the mind of the majority is always the healthy mind, simply by virtue of its numbers.

― Stacey Jay, quote from Of Beast and Beauty

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.
