“But race is the child of racism, not the father.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, quote from Between the World and Me
“Sejak jaman nabi sampai kini, tak ada manusia yang bisa terbebas dari kekuasaan sesamanya, kecuali mereka yang tersisihkan karena gila. Bahkan pertama-tama mereka yang membuang diri, seorang diri di tengah-tengah hutan atau samudera masih membawa padanya sisa-sisa kekuasaan sesamanya. Dan selama ada yang diperintah dan memerintah, dikuasai dan menguasai, orang berpolitik.”
― Pramoedya Ananta Toer, quote from House of Glass
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fiertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." --Alexis de Tocqueville”

Relativity: The Spec...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.
