“I monaci cistercensi la cui abbazia si trovava qui nel tredicesimo secolo, non indossavano altri abiti se non ruvidi sai con il cappuccio e la loro dieta escludeva la carne, i pesci e le uova. Dormivano sulla paglia e si alzavano a mezzanotte per assistere alla messa. Trascorrevano le giornate lavorando, leggendo e pregando; e per tutta la loro esistenza osservavano un silenzio assoluto come quello della morte, poiché nessuno parlava mai. Una tetra confraternita che viveva una tetra vita in quel luogo soave, reso così splendido da Dio! È strano che le voci della natura tutto attorno a loro… il canto sommesso dell'acqua, i sussurri delle erbe sul fiume, la musica frusciante del vento... Non avessero insegnato a quella gente un più autentico significato dell'esistenza. Stavano ad ascoltare, durante le lunghe giornate, in silenzio, in attesa di una voce dal cielo; e per tutte le lunghe giornate e nelle notti solenni, quella voce parlava loro in miriadi di toni, ma essi non la udivano.”
― Jerome K. Jerome, quote from Three Men on the Bummel
“How do you measure love? Is it by the things we’re willing to do? By the sacrifices we’re willing to make?”

SurrenderBookQuoters 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.
