“Can’t you just relax,” she asked him, “just for a little while?”
“The rules—”
“Everyone else—”
“I cannot be everyone else!” Dalinar said, more sharply than he intended. “If I ignore our code and ethics, what am I, Navani? The other highprinces and lighteyes deserve recrimination for what they do, and I have let them know it. If I abandon my principles, then I become something far worse than they. A hypocrite!”

“ ښه، نو ایا منزل مهم دی؟ یا مهمه خو د ورتلو لار ده؟ زه وایم چې هېڅ بریا دومره مهمه نه وي لکه څومره چې هلته د رسېدو لار وي. موږ د منزلونو مخلوق نه یو. منزل ته د سفر لاره موږ ته نوې بڼه رابښي. زموږ کلکې شوې پښې، د سفر بارونه په وړلو وړلو زموږ غښتلې ملاوې، د ژوند نوې تجربې په لېدو لېدو زموږ تازه شوې خوشالې سترګې. په پای کې باید په جار ووایم چې په دروغجنو لارو هېڅ ښه نشي ترلاسه کېدې. لامل دا چې زموږ د هستۍ اصل ماده په بریاوو کې نه ده، خپلو کړو لارو کې ده.”
― Brandon Sanderson, quote from The Way of Kings, Part 1

Some fall crawling in the dirt of Forrestville, Tennessee, in the dark, impossibly young and alone, for no good reason at all.”

Jesus the Son of ManBookQuoters 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.
