“Looking back upon millennia of history, it appears clear that no race or culture has monopoly on wartime cruelty. The veneer of civilization seems to be exceedingly thin – one that can be easily stripped away, especially by the stresses of war.”
― Iris Chang, quote from The Rape of Nanking

― Jessica Brody, quote from 52 Reasons to Hate My Father
“A mirror does not exist by itself. A mirror is a half. Half is done by the piece. The other half has to be done by the beholder. You need to be the half to see what you’re looking for, so the mirror can exist. As you should do with other persons.”
― Cristiane Serruya, quote from Trust: Pandora's Box
“ ښه، نو ایا منزل مهم دی؟ یا مهمه خو د ورتلو لار ده؟ زه وایم چې هېڅ بریا دومره مهمه نه وي لکه څومره چې هلته د رسېدو لار وي. موږ د منزلونو مخلوق نه یو. منزل ته د سفر لاره موږ ته نوې بڼه رابښي. زموږ کلکې شوې پښې، د سفر بارونه په وړلو وړلو زموږ غښتلې ملاوې، د ژوند نوې تجربې په لېدو لېدو زموږ تازه شوې خوشالې سترګې. په پای کې باید په جار ووایم چې په دروغجنو لارو هېڅ ښه نشي ترلاسه کېدې. لامل دا چې زموږ د هستۍ اصل ماده په بریاوو کې نه ده، خپلو کړو لارو کې ده.”
― Brandon Sanderson, quote from The Way of Kings, Part 1

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.
