― Debbie Macomber, quote from The Shop on Blossom Street
“The repetition of weaving the yarn around a needle and then forming a stitch creates a sense of purpose, of achievement, of progress. When your entire world is unraveling, you tend to crave order, and I found it in knitting.”
― Debbie Macomber, quote from The Shop on Blossom Street

“إذ قفز عقلي كي يدرك أنّنا أيضاً ننظر إلى الزمان والمكان كأمرين مسلّم بهما بالرغم من أنّ الموت يأخذنا إلى ما وراءهما. وفهمت أنّ ما أدعوه بالوجود يعني الوجود في الزمان والمكان وأنّ هذا الكون من زمان ومكان ليس مطلقاً. فجأة أصبح كل شيء عبثياً. إذ للمرة الأولى يعتريني شهور فظيع بالضعف والافتقار إلى الإحساس بالأمان، وأدركت أنّ كل شيء موجود في هذا الكون ومسلّم به قابل للنقاش، وأنّ كل شيء يمكن أن يكون مجرد حيلة. وباعتباري مفكراً، فقد انتابتني العادة الرومانسية بالشعور أنّ العقل يقع خارج حدود مصادفات الجسد وأنّه أبدي وحرّ، وأنّ الجسد ربما يكون تافهاً أو خاصاً. إلا أنّ العقل شامل وعام. إنّ هذا الشعور يجعل العقل مراقباً أبدياً بعيداً عن الخوف. فجأة فكرت فيما لو كان الكون اعباطياً، فإنّ عقلي يصبح قابلاً للتدمير تماماً مثل جسدي. تلك هي النقطة التي يتذكر عندها المرء ساعات المرض والهذيان، عندما يبدو العقل أقل ديمومة من الجسد وعندما يشك المرء في أنّ خشونة الجسد في التي تمنع العقل من التفسّخ.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites
“You’re quoted as saying, ‘The bad news is, we won’t get much sleep tonight; the good news is, we get to kill people.’” She paused, as if waiting for me to disavow the quote. I was silent, and she went on. “We have a retired Army officer on our staff, and he warned me that there are people who enjoy killing, and they aren’t nice to be around. Could you please explain your quote for me?”
“No, I cannot.”
“Well, do you really feel that way?” Her tone was earnest, almost pleading.
“You mean, will I climb your clock tower and pick people off with a hunting rifle?”
It was her turn to be silent.
“No, I will not. Do I feel compelled to explain myself to you? I don’t.”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
“Raimundo Silva pensou, pessoanamente, Se eu fumasse, acenderia agora um cigarro, a olhar o rio, pensando como tudo é vago e vário, assim, não fumando, apenas pensarei que tudo é vário e vago, realmente, mas sem cigarro, ainda que o cigarro, se o fumasse, por si mesmo exprimisse a variedade e a vaguidade das coisas, como o fumo, se fumasse.”
― José Saramago, quote from The History of the Siege of Lisbon

Un dernier verre ava...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.
