“It was like she'd become the sun, and I started revolving around her. She was my center.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Rush Too Far


“We must always remember, however,' said Psmith gravely, 'that poets are also God's creatures.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, quote from Leave It to Psmith


“Always there lurks the assumption that although the Western consumer belongs to a numerical minority, he is entitled either to own or to expend (or both) the majority of the world resources. Why? Because he, unlike the Oriental, is a true human being. No better instance exists today of what Anwar Abdel Malek calls “the hegemonism of possessing minorities” and anthropocentrism allied with Europocentrism: a white middle-class Westerner believes it his human prerogative not only to manage the nonwhite world but also to own it, just because by definition “it” is not quite as human as “we” are. There is no purer example than this of dehumanized thought.”
― Edward W. Said, quote from Orientalism


“Do you not realize, Hastings, that each and everyone of us is a complete mystery with layers. We each try to judge each other, but nine times out of ten, we are wrong.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from Lord Edgware Dies


“Vete al comedor, da una vuelta alrededor de la mesa mirado siempre su centro, y cuando hayas concluido el paseo circular, habrás dado una vuelta alrededor de ti mismo, puesto que la vista habrá recorrido todos los puntos del comedor. Pues bien, el comedor es el Cielo, la mesa es la Tierra y tú eres la Luna.”
― Jules Verne, quote from From the Earth to the Moon

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.
