“Want to come back to the morgue with me after lunch? (Tate)

“There was some point as a professor at Stanford and Harvard when I experienced being caught in some kind of a meaningless game in which the students were exquisite at playing the role of students and the faculty were exquisite at playing the role of faculty. I would get up and say what I had read in books and they'd all write it down and give it back as answers on exams but nothing was happening. I felt as if I were in a sound-proof room. Not enough was happening that mattered — that was real.”
― Ram Dass, quote from Be Here Now


“Φαντάσου πώς είναι να υπαγορεύεις σε κάποιον τα λόγια που θέλεις να γράψεις στο μυθιστόρημά σου, ή να του λες πού να βάλει το γαλάζιο και πώς να το ανακατέψει με λευκό για τις άκρες ενός σύννεφου στο τοπίο που ζωγραφίζεις, και θα καταλάβεις πώς ήταν για τη μητέρα μου να κάθεται στην καρέκλα μπροστά στο έλατο, που τόσα χρόνια αφ' ότου φυτεύτηκε ως δενδρύλιο, είχε φτάσει πια στα έξι μέτρα, και να κατευθύνει τις αδέξιες προσπάθειές μου να τοποθετήσω τα στολίδια της εκεί ακριβώς που τα ήθελε.”
― Anna Quindlen, quote from One True Thing


“Twas said better to light a candle than curse the dark...”
― Robert R. McCammon, quote from The Queen of Bedlam

― Lisa Gardner, quote from Live to Tell

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.
