“If you wake up in the morning, it is a good day.”
― Heather Morris, quote from The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“What they all share is fear. And youth. And their religion. Lale tries to keep his mind off theorising about what might lie ahead. He has been told he is being taken to work for the Germans, and that is what he is planning to do. He thinks of his family back home. 'Safe'. He has made the sacrifice, has no regrets. He would make it again and again to keep his beloved family at home, together.”
― Heather Morris, quote from The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“Well, Lale, a man who lectures in taxation and interest rates can't help but get involved in the politics of his country. Politics will help you understand the World until you don't understand it anymore, and then it will get you thrown into a prison camp. Politics and religion both”
― Heather Morris, quote from The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“What has this place done to us? What has it made us become? How much longer can we go on? She thought it was all ending today.”
― Heather Morris, quote from The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“Lale smiles at him. ‘Not what I was expecting either.’ ‘Where do you think we’re going?’ ‘It doesn’t matter. Just remember, we are here to keep our families safe”
― Heather Morris, quote from The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“The girls who work there dream of a place far away where there is plenty of everything and life can be what they want it to be. They have decided Canada is such a place.”
― Heather Morris, quote from The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“the girl’s arm as gently as he can, the man takes her face in his hand and turns it roughly this way and that. Lale looks”
― Heather Morris, quote from The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“occasionally nods off against his shoulder; Lale doesn’t push him away. He is just one among countless young men stuffed into”

Marie Antoinette: Th...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.
