― Kevin Alan Milne, quote from The One Good Thing
“Sometimes incidents and events in our lives bring out the best in us, or the worst. Sometimes we recover from these events and sometimes we don't - but they always impact us. At other times how we act and react, or deal with a particular situation, reveals our "true" nature and tells us who we really are.”
― Syd Field, quote from Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting
“He’s not mine. The only thing that’s truly mine is this bottomless despair.”
― Lola St. Vil, quote from The Girl
“Мы знаем, что существует философия, отрицающая бесконечность. Существует также философия, отрицающая солнце; эту философию, относящуюся к области патологии, именуют слепотой.
Возводить недостающее нам чувство в источник истины - на это способна лишь дерзкая самоуверенность слепца.”
― Victor Hugo, quote from Les Misérables: Volume Two
“Man wants to make certain about the future,about tommorow--which cannot be done. Let it sink as deeply in your heart as possible, it cannot be done. Don't waste your present moment trying to make the future certain. The future is uncertainity that is the very quality of the future.
One can do only one thing: Be alert and wait.”
― Osho, quote from Awareness: The Key to Living in Balance
“sleep through the night. Sometimes I add a Lunesta,”
― Kevin Kwan, quote from Crazy Rich Asians
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.
