“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”

“যক্ষপুরীর হাওয়ায় সুন্দরের পরে অবজ্ঞা ঘটিয়ে দেয়, এইটেই সর্বনেশে। নরকেও সুন্দর আছে, কিন্তু সুন্দরকে কেউ সেখানে বুঝতেই পারে না, নরকবাসীর সব চেয়ে বড়ো সাজা তাই।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Red Oleanders
“To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. Hardly less important is the capacity to see others as they see themselves.”
― Aldous Huxley, quote from The Doors of Perception
“As long as they avoided that fight about Clearsight’s timeline scrolls, and that other fight about Darkstalker, and, oh dear, all the fights about Listener’s crushes on various —”
― Tui T. Sutherland, quote from Darkstalker
“Charity had discovered that life was filled with important moments. They were brightly colored confetti strewn on a landscape of gray. Each one, its own miracle. Sometimes, those moments passed quietly. But a few—a glorious few—were recognized immediately for their inexplicable but undeniable significance. They were bombs of promise.”
― Heather Burch, quote from In the Light of the Garden
“right arm got wrecked in a fireworks calamity, of all things. He was setting some off for a big display and part of the metal rig that they were resting on had a loose bolt or something, and the whole thing came down and crushed his arm. He can’t use it much and it looks a bit weird, kind of twisted to one side. He got some money from the insurance company, and he stopped working at the factory.”
― quote from Time Travelling with a Hamster
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.
