“We were scared, but our fear was not as strong as our courage.”
― Malala Yousafzai, quote from I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
“Mali Johann stekao je dojam da dolaziti među ljude, razgovarati, vladati se, kretati se i djelovati među ljudima nije neko prirodno i gotovo nesvjesno zastupanje praktičnih interesa koji su nam zajednički s drugim ljudima, ili koje hoćemo provesti protiv njih, već da je to nešto što je samo sebi svrha, neki svjestan i umjetan napor za koji je, umjesto iskrenih i jednostavnih osjećaja, potrebna strahovito teška i zamorna virtuoznost. I kad bi pomislio da će i on jednom morati da se javlja na javnim skupštinama, da govori i da se kreće ispred toliko ljudi, protrnuo bi od straha i odvratnosti i zatvorio bi oči...”
― Thomas Mann, quote from Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family
“The ability to imagine is the largest part of what you call intelligence. You think the ability to imagine is merely a useful step on the way to solving a problem or making something happen. But imagining it is what makes it happen.
This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you--the ability to imagine.”
― Michael Crichton, quote from Sphere
“If you’re the kind of person who has no guts, you just give up every time life pushes you. If you’re that kind of person, you’ll live all your life playing it safe, doing the right things, saving yourself for something that never happens. Then, you die a boring old man.”
― Robert T. Kiyosaki, quote from Rich Dad, Poor Dad
“It's funny how we can be in love with someone one day, and the next we can easily fall in love with someone else.”

The Witch's DaughterBookQuoters 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.
