― Lawrence M. Krauss, quote from The Physics of Star Trek
“While the nature of this radiation will give no information whatsoever on what fell into the black hole,”

“Everyone too busy trying to survive to spend any time creating something new.”
― quote from Leviathan Wakes
“وأيُّ وَالدٍ لا يَشُقُّ عليه فراقُ ابنتِه حتَّى ولو كَانت ذَاهبةً إلى بَيتِ جَارِه أو إلى قَصرِ مَلكٍ؟ أيُّ رجُلٍ لا تَرتَعشُ أعمَاقُ نفسِه بِالغَصَّاتِ عِندَما يَفصِلُه نَاموسُ الطَبيعةِ عن الابنةِ التي لاعَبَها طِفلةً وهذَّبَها صَبِيَّةً ورَافَقَها امرَأة؟ إنَّ كآبةَ الوالدَيْن لزوَاجِ الابنةِ يُضارعُ فرحَهُما بِزوَاجِ الابن، لأنَّ هَذَا ُيكسِبُ العَائلةَ عُضوًا جَديدًا، أمَّا ذَاك فيَسلُبُها عُضوًا قَدِيمًا عَزيزًا.”
― Kahlil Gibran, quote from The Broken Wings
“I'd be at work where poeple respected my opinions, said Nick. And then, I'd come home and it was like I was the village idiot.”
― Liane Moriarty, quote from What Alice Forgot
“Memory could be a terrible thing .. an instrument of torture that persists in its work long after a man has suffered his time upon the rack.”
― Leila Meacham, quote from Roses
“…the warm glazes, the sparkling penumbra of the room itself and, through the little window framed with honeysuckle, in the rustic avenue, the resilient dryness of the sun-parched earth, veiled only by the diaphanous gauze woven of distance and the shade of the trees.”
― Marcel Proust, quote from In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

The Summer I Became...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.
