“Gli uomini non nascono eguali”, mi disse poi. “Perciò ritengo indegno di un uomo affermare che lo sono. Se credessi di valere quanto Socrate, sarei uno sciocco; e se, non credendolo veramente, ti chiedessi di farmi felice assicurandomi che lo sono, avresti motivo di disprezzarmi. Quindi, perché dovrei insultare i miei concittadini trattandoli come stolti e codardi? Un uomo che ritiene di valere quanto chiunque altro non si preoccuperà di migliorarsi. D’altra parte, potrei ritenere di valere quanto Socrate e convincere altri sciocchi a dichiararsi d’accordo; ma in una democrazia c’è Socrate nell’Agorà a provare che ho torto. Io voglio una città dove potrò trovare i miei eguali e rispettare chi è migliore di me, chiunque sia; e dove nessuno potrà ordinarmi di accettare una menzogna perché è utile o perché così vuole un altro”.”
― Mary Renault, quote from The Last of the Wine

“A wonderfully congenial group who live by a unique set of social standards. According to their rules, any sin is acceptable provided it is carried off in good taste.”
― Evelyn Waugh, quote from A Handful of Dust

“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.”
― Rhonda Byrne, quote from The Magic

“The demons of the Devil don't use your weak weaknesses against you, they use your strong ones. If you're rational and logical, they argue their case rationally and logically. If you're loyal and faithful, they turn those against you. If you're passionate and emotional, they make you passionate and emotional about your worse fears. Your weak weaknesses are no use to them.... They find the strongest weaknesses you didn't know were yours and use those against you.”
― Aidan Chambers, quote from This is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn

“Memories can ruin you if you let them.”
― Anna Carey, quote from Once

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.
