“All I know is that you probably deserve better than me, but I’m too selfish to let you. I’m into you, and I want you to be so into me, you don’t even care that I’m not good enough for you.”

“Fura cărţile pagină cu pagină şi le reconstituia la adăpost, în apartamentul său, ca un editor clandestin. Fiecare pagină, fiind câştigată printr-un delict, căpăta o valoare simbolică mult mai mare decât dacă ar fi fost lipită şi pierdută printre suratele ei; desprinsă dintr-o carte, şterpelită, pe urmă legată la loc cu răbdare,ea devenea sacră. Biblioteca lui Antoine număra astfel vreo douăzeci de cărţi reconstituite în preţioasa lui ediţie particulară.”
― Martin Page, quote from How I Became Stupid
“She told me only people we love the most can destroy us, because no one else has that kind of power.”

“Later when, dude? Like when you’re thirty-five? You are twenty-two now, if you have to take any risks, this is going to be the time. I mean imagine you’re thirty-five with kids and family, you wouldn’t want to leave your job then, man. There would be too much at stake then, right?”
― Varun Agarwal, quote from How I Braved Anu Aunty & Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company
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.
