“I have always suffered from the feeling that it's better to read a good book than to write a poor one; and I've done so much mixed reading in my time that my mind is full of echoes and voices of better men. But this book I'm worrying about now really deserves to be written, I think, for it has a message of its own.”
― Christopher Morley, quote from Parnassus on Wheels
“Achievers rarely, if ever, see a problem as permanent, while those who fail see even the smallest problems as permanent.”

“همه این مدت با این فکر سر می کردم که پرهیزکار شدم,چون تصمیمی به سختی پوشیدن حجاب گرفته ام...اما چه فایده ای دارد که در ظاهر دین داری کنی,وقتی درونت را تغییر نداده باشی, آن هم وقتی که واقعا مهم است که این کار را بکنی? این مدت با خودم شوخی می کرده ام.پوشیدن حجاب آخر این سفر نیست. اول آن است.”
― Randa Abdel-Fattah, quote from Does My Head Look Big in This?
“And it's finally only in the woods you get that nostalgia for "cities" at last, you dream of long gray journeys to cities where soft evenings'll unfold like Paris but never seeing how sickening it will be because of the primordial innocence of health and stillnes in the wilds- So I tell myself "Be Wise.”
― Jack Kerouac, quote from Big Sur
“...I wondered why so much had been written about love's pain and so little about the glorious relief of being delivered from love's pain.”

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.
