“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
“It was as if she lived only on clear, salty air, and when the day came for her to pass away, she would probably do exactly that. Just take a step to one side. Dissolve into a north-westerly wind as it whirled around the lighthouse at North Point, then out across the sea.”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, quote from Harbor
“ اذا كنت مضطرا لقطع فترة طويلة دون ان اتناول علاجي من الورق والحبر، بسبب السفر مثلا، أو عدم دفع فاتورة الغاز، او الخدمة العسكرية (كما كان الحال في يوم من الايام)، او شئون سياسية (كما كان الحال منذ فترة قريبة) أو أي عدد من العوائق الأخرى، اشعر بالتعاسة تترسب داخلي كالأسمنت. جسدي يتحرك بصعوبة، مفاصلي تغدو متصلبة، رأسي يتحول إلى صخر، حتى تنفسي تبدو له رائحة مختلفة. وهذه التعاسة من المحتمل أن تنمو، لان الحياة مليئة بالأشياء التي تتآمر على إبعاد الشخص عن الأدب. ”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Other Colors: Essays and A Story
“What was it about this man that one minute had me wanting to throw myself at him, climb him like a cat to rub up against and the next, wanting to scratch his eyes out while I was up there?”
― quote from The Triple Goddess
“When there was nothing but space between you, everything felt like a leap.”
― Jennifer E. Smith, quote from The Geography of You and Me
“Grow up. This is real. The world is ugly and nasty and fucked up, and so are we.”
― Elliot Wake, quote from Unteachable
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.
