“Only those who dare may fly”
― Luis Sepúlveda, quote from The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
“We've learnt to appreciate and respect and love someone who's different from us. It is very easy to accept and love those who are like us, but to love someone different is very hard, and you helped us to do that.”
― Luis Sepúlveda, quote from The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
“-Sí, al borde del vacío comprendió lo más importante - maulló Zorbas.
-Ah, sí? Y qué es lo que comprendió -preguntó el humano.
-Que sólo vuela el que se atreve a hacerlo - maulló Zorbas.”
― Luis Sepúlveda, quote from The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
“Thật dễ dàng để chấp nhận và yêu thương một kẻ nào đó giống mình, nhưng để yêu thương ai đó khác mình thực sự rất khó khăn, và con đã giúp chúng ta làm được điều đó. Con là chim hải âu, và con phải sống cuộc đời của một con hải âu. Con phải bay. Khi con đã học hành tử tế, Lucky, ta hứa với con rằng con sẽ thấy hạnh phúc lắm, và sau đó tình cảm của chúng ta dành cho nhau thậm chí còn sâu sắc và đẹp đẽ hơn, bởi đó là tấm chân tình giữa hai loài vật hoàn toàn khác nhau.”
― Luis Sepúlveda, quote from The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
“Y si todo esto es un sueño, qué importa. Me gusta y quiero seguir soñándolo.”

“Con chuẩn bị bay rồi, Lucky à. Hít một hơi thở sâu. Hãy cảm nhận làn mưa. Đó là nước. Trong cuộc đời, con sẽ có rất nhiều lí do để hạnh phúc. Một trong những thứ đó là nước, thứ khác là gió, thứ khác nữa là mặt trời, và đó luôn là món quà đến sau những cơn mưa. Hãy cảm nhận mưa đi. Dang đôi cánh của con ra”

Expect...he didn't anymore.”

“Do you know I ate frog legs once?” Jonah asks. Uh-oh. “You what?” screams a horrified Frederic. “It’s true!” Jonah says, clearly not catching the stop talking look I’m shooting him. “We went to a French restaurant for our dad’s birthday and he ordered an appetizer of frog legs. Remember, Abby? We tried them! Both of us did!” “It was before I knew you,” I tell Frederic apologetically. “They tasted like chicken!” Jonah exclaims. He’s right. They did taste like chicken. “I think I’m going to throw up,” Frederic moans.”
― Sarah Mlynowski, quote from Once Upon a Frog
“There, there, baby!’ said Julian, patting his little sister on the back and laughing at her furious face.”

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.
