“He knew that if Michelle entered into the walls of the Vatican, she’d corrupt every single clergyman within, causing them to forsake their vows in trade for a few moments with her. With one glance men would happily follow her to the bowels of hell and swim across the lake of fire to get to her.”
― Travis Luedke, quote from The Nightlife: Las Vegas
“وشرد القسيس بفكره يتأمل ثم قال:
يجب أن نهتدي إلى فتاة يتيمة ليس لها من يذود عنها في القرية حتى نتجنب الفضيحة لا أخشى غير الفضيحة يا أغا ولا شيء سواها .. أمهلني يا أغا”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“I may not know shit about shit, but I can tell you that when a girl goes running from a party with only a bottle of whiskey for company, something is most definitely bothering her. In my experience, that something usually has a cock attached to it.” Bear exhaled the smoke. “Well,”
― T.M. Frazier, quote from King
“Oh, Myr," he chokes out. "I hate having to ask this of you..."
He glances towards the car again, and I crouch down in the shadows, hoping it's too dark for him to see whether the window is open or closed. The woman pats his arm, cradling her hand against his elbow.
"You know I'd do anything for you and Hil," she says. I like her voice. It's throaty and rich.
"You'd do anything?" my father repeats numbly. "Even now? After -?"
"Even now," the woman says firmly.”
― Margaret Peterson Haddix, quote from Double Identity
“Bu şirketokrasi biziz - onu bizler olur hale getiriyoruz- ki, çoğumuzun ayağa kalkıp ona karşı gelmemizi zorlaştıran da budur. Onun yerine, gölgelerde gezinen komplocular görmeyi tercih ediyoruz, çünkü çoğumuz ya o bankalar, şirketler veya hükümetler için çalışıyoruz ya da bir şekilde, üretip pazarladığımız mallar ve servisler için onlara bağımlıyız. Bizi besleyen sahibimizin elini ısırmayı göze alamıyoruz.”
― John Perkins, quote from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
“the enemy of our enemy is our ally,”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from A Darkness At Sethanon
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.
