“Nasci e ti allattano con le bugie, poi ti svezzano dalle bugie finché non ne impari altre a scuola, più raffinate. Vivi di bugie per tutta la vita, e poi forse, quando sei pronto per morire, ti viene in mente che non c’è nient’altro, nient’altro che te stesso e quello che avresti potuto fare. Solo che non l’hai fatto, perché tutte quelle bugie ti hanno fatto credere che c’era qualcos’altro. Allora pensi che avresti potuto conquistare il mondo, perché sei l’unico che conosce il segreto. Solo che ormai è troppo tardi. Perché ormai sei troppo vecchio.”
― John Williams, quote from Butcher's Crossing
“When Muslim radicals and fundamentalists look at the West, they see only the openness that makes us, in their eyes, decadent and promiscuous. They see only the openness that has produced Britney Spears and Janet Jackson. They do not see, and do not want to see, the openness - the freedom of thought and inquiry - that has made us powerful, the openness that has produced Bill Gates and Sally Ride. They deliberately define it all as decadence. Because if openness, women's empowerment, and freedom of thought and inquiry are the real sources of the West's economic strength, then the Arab-Muslim world would have to change. And the fundamentalists and extremists do not want to change.”
― quote from The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
“At least I thought it was a wall. It sure felt like one. It was hard. It was flat. It stretched out on either side of me. You know... wall.”
― D.J. MacHale, quote from The Quillan Games
“All history is really nothing more than the application of ideology to the past.”
― Tom Clancy, quote from Executive Orders
“Gli eroi mi davano la nausea. Una volta, avevo voluto essere uno di loro. Avevo covato sogni gloriosi di diventare un eroe dello stesso stampo di cui credevo Joscelin fosse fatto. Avevo perso quelle illusioni molto tempo fa, ma non avevo capito fino ad ora che eroismo significa vivere nel terrore di non essere in grado di proteggere coloro che ami.”
― Jacqueline Carey, quote from Kushiel's Justice

RushBookQuoters 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.
