“Lord. Do not doubt His power.” Only the starets was allowed to address her with such informality. She was the Matushka, Little Mother; her husband, Nicholas II, the Batiushka, Little Father. It was how the peasantry viewed them—as stern parents. Everyone around her said Rasputin was a mere peasant himself. Perhaps so. But he alone could relieve Alexie’s suffering. This peasant from Siberia with his tangled beard, stinking body, and long greasy hair was heaven’s emissary. “God has refused to listen to my prayers, Father. He”
― Steve Berry, quote from The Romanov Prophecy
“Život počeo se u Filipu topiti na sastavne dijelove u njemu je neprekidno rastvorno analitičko raspadanje svega počelo da raste sve nemirnije to je u njemu rastao proces koji se negdje otkinuo od svoje svrhe i sada se već dulje vremena sve samo od sebe kreće u smjeru rastvaranja. To kontemplativno uništavanje svega što mu dolazi pod ruku ili pred oko pretvara se polagano u ideju što je stala da ga progoni iz dana u dan sve intenzivije pod njegovom vlastitom predodžbom o vlastitom subjektivnom životu počeo je da nestaje svaki pa i najmanji smisao. Njegov vlastiti život negdje se otkinuo od svoje podloge i stao pretvarati u fantom koji nema nikakva razloga da postoji i to već prilično dugo traje a postaje sve teže i zamornije.”
― Miroslav Krleža, quote from The Return of Philip Latinowicz
“One should never let sleeping dogs lie.”
― Ashwin Sanghi, quote from The Rozabal Line

“Mr. Audley, never having been in politics, treated them a little more seriously. Sometimes he even embarrassed the company by phrases suggesting that there was some difference between a Liberal and a Conservative.”
― G.K. Chesterton, quote from The Innocence of Father Brown
“You got to harden yourself. Make, like, a shell around you. But not everyone can do it. If they got nothing to hang on to some of them screw up. They’re not in the game no more.”
― Charlie Higson, quote from The Fallen
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.
