― Mary Roach, quote from Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex
“Meanwhile, every so often, your children come to visit. They are, amazingly, completely charming people. You can’t believe you’re lucky enough to know them. They make you laugh. They make you proud. You love them madly. They survived you. You survived them. It crosses your mind that on some level, you spent hours and days and months and years without laying a glove on them, but don’t dwell. There’s no point. It’s over. Except for the worrying. The worrying is forever.”
― Nora Ephron, quote from I Feel Bad about My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman
“اي خير سأناله لو تزوجتك؟"
انت! ما انت الا الموقد الذي تخمد ناره في البرد
انت كالباب الناقص لا يصد عاصفة ولا ريحا
انت قصر يتحطم في داخله الأبطال
انت فيل يمزق رحله
انت قير يلوث من يحمله وقربة تبلل حامله
أنت حجر مرمر ينهار جداره
انت حجر"يشب" يستقدم العدو ويغريه
وأنت نعل يقرص قدم منتعله..”
― quote from The Epic of Gilgamesh
“Nobody goes through life without having their heart broken and one day you'll wake up and it will be okay.”

I'm Not StillerBookQuoters 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.
