“Ali kamo idemo, ne znamo. Možda ćemo uspjeti preživjeti boleštine i umaknuti selekcijama, možda ćemo izdržati napor i glad koji nas rastaču: a onda? Ovdje, trenutačno daleko od psovki i batina, iznova se možemo vratiti sebi samima i meditirati, a tada postaje jesno da se nećemo vratiti. Mi smo putovali sve dovde u plombiranim vagonima! Vidjeli smo kako put ništavila odlaze naše žene i djeca; nakon što su od nas napravili robove, marširali smo sto puta tamo-amo zaludu, ugašene duše prije bezlične smrti. Nećemo se vratiti. Odavde nitko ne smije izaći, jer bi u svijet mogao ponijeti, zajedno sa znakom utisnutim u tijelo, opaku vijest o tome koliko čovjeku treba hrabrosti, u Auschwitzu, da bude čovjek.”
― Primo Levi, quote from Survival in Auschwitz
“How is it possible to live the same story twice from different vantage points?”
― Veronica Roth, quote from Four: A Divergent Story Collection
“I guess no one stays friends for more than thirty years without broken hearts along the way.”

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.
