“I had absolutely no idea how to make sense of myself.”
― Kate Bolick, quote from Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own
“For sad if obvious reasons, women (especially white women who are seduced by access to the powerful) are the only discriminated-against group whose members seem to think that, if they don’t take themselves seriously, someone else will.”
― Gloria Steinem, quote from Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions
“His jumpsuit was white, and on the back were the letters D and R printed in black. They stood for “death row”. Mars had equated it to a snake’s rattle, warning folks to stay the hell away.”
― David Baldacci, quote from The Last Mile
“Bunlar ülküleri uğruna kıllarını bile kıpırdatmazlar, azılı birer haydut, birer hırsızdırlar, ama ilk ülkülerine olan saygılarını taş çatlasa yitirmezler; ruhça son derece namusludurlar. Evet, efendim, en bayağı, en aşağılık insanların aynı zamanda namussuzluk simgesi kişiler olarak kalabilmeleri ancak bizde olanaklıdır. Yineliyorum, bizim romantikler arasında isini bilen madrabazlar (madrabaz sözcüğünü iltifat olsun diye kullanıyorum) öylesine çok çıkıyor ve bunlar öyle bir gerçekçilik sezgisi, öyle bir beceriklilik gösteriyorlar ki, şeflerinin de, arkadaşlarının da ağzı bir karış açık kalıyor.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, quote from Notes from Underground & The Double
“Things don't just happen, they have reasons. And the reasons have reasons. And the reasons for the reasons have reasons. And then the things that happen make other things happen, so they become reasons themselves. Nothing moves forward in a straight line, nothing is straightforward.”

NostalgiaBookQuoters 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.
