― Michael Ondaatje, quote from Divisadero

“De vez en cuando la especie humana engendra depredadores que se alimentan de aquellos que los rodean. Pero no pertenecen a la especie: son mutaciones de ella. A mi parecer, esos monstruos no tienen derecho a respirar el oxígeno de la atmósfera. Pero están ahí, por lo que contribuyo a enjaularlos y a meterlos donde no puedan dañar a los otros. Consigo que la vida sea más segura para la gente que se levanta, acude al trabajo cada día, cría a sus hijos, cultiva sus tomates o cuida sus peces tropicales y ve los partidos de fútbol los domingos. Ésa es la especie humana.”
― Kathy Reichs, quote from Déjà Dead

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.
