“That’s what she said,” Kate interjected.

― Lauren James, quote from The Next Together

― Lauren James, quote from The Next Together

“The mind is a basket . . . if you put nothing in, you get nothing out.”
― Louis L'Amour, quote from The Walking Drum
“You're wrong Heinrich. While it might seem easy to believe, you and I aren't actually the same. You've been fighting someone else's war, you've been obeying orders, you've been carrying out a part in his plan. You've served other people all your life, for a goal that you won't even see accomplished: that's your defeat.”
― quote from Q
“Cabeza de melón
Había un niño taciturno,
de hombre y melón un injerto.
Tenía el ánimo nocturno
por desear tanto estar muerto.
Pero hay que tener cuidado
con lo que se desea.
Pues él acabó en jalea
tras un pisotón bien dado.”
― Tim Burton, quote from The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories
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 2018, 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.
