Quotes from The Quest for Cosmic Justice

“A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.9”
― Thomas Sowell, quote from The Quest for Cosmic Justice

“As history has also shown, especially in the twentieth century, one of the first things an ideologue will do after achieving absolute power is kill.”
― Thomas Sowell, quote from The Quest for Cosmic Justice

“Justice at all costs' is not justice.”
― Thomas Sowell, quote from The Quest for Cosmic Justice

“More to the point, if he did cancel the tour in order to fight that tax, would we regard him as a rational man of high principle or as a doctrinaire, a moral exhibitionist, or an egomaniac”
― Thomas Sowell, quote from The Quest for Cosmic Justice

“You needn't worry about your appearance, my dear, because true beauty springs from the heart and dwells in the eyes.”
― Judith McNaught, quote from Something Wonderful

“I might be confused sometimes in my head but it is not something you need to talk about. Before you can talk you have to line it all up in order and I had rather just let it swirl around until I am too tired to think. You just let the motion in your head wear you out. Never think about it. You just make a bigger mess that way.”
― Kaye Gibbons, quote from Ellen Foster

“Именно, руснаците. Това е единственият народ днес, който ни е равностоен. И затова войната ни с тях е толкова ужасна, толкова безмилостна. Ще оцелее само един от двата народа. Останалите не влизат в сметката. Можете ли да си представите янките, с тяхното консервирано говеждо и дъвки, да понесат и една десета от руските загуби? Една стотна? Ще офейкат и ще се приберат у дома, а Европа, да си гледа работата. Необходимо е да докажем на западните страни, че една болшевишка победа не е в техен интерес, че Сталин ще заграби като плячка половината Европа, ако не и цялата. Ако англосаксонците ни помагаха да се справим с руснаците, бихме могли да им оставим трохите, или пък, когато възстановим силите си, спокойно да ги смачкаме на свой ред. Само вижте какво постигна за по-малко от две години нашият Parteigenosse Шпеер! И това е едва началото. Представете си, че ръцете ни бяха развързани, че разполагахме с всички ресурси на Изтока. Тогава светът можеше да бъде преобразен в нужната посока.”
― Jonathan Littell, quote from The Kindly Ones

“Marry him,” Arin said, “but be mine in secret.”
― Marie Rutkoski, quote from The Winner's Crime

“What I love about science is that as you learn, you don't really get answers. You just get better questions.”
― John Green, quote from Turtles All the Way Down

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.
