― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer


“I bambini non vedono la Morte. Perché la loro vita dura un giorno, da quando si svegliano a quando vanno a dormire.”
― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer


“God is silent. The devil whispers…”
― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer

― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer



“Il Male alle volte ci inganna, assumendo la forma più semplice delle cose.”
― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer


“Li chiamiamo 'mostri' perché li sentiamo lontani da noi, perché li vogliamo diversi. Invece ci assomigliano in tutto e per tutto, ma noi preferiamo rimuovere l'idea che un mostro simile sia capace di tanto. E questo per assolvere la nostra natura.
Gli antropologi la definiscono 'spersonalizzazione del reo' e costituisce spesso il maggior ostacolo all'identificazione di un serial killer.
Perché un uomo ha dei punti deboli e può essere catturato.
Un mostro no.”
― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer


“Le stazioni sono una specie di antinferno, dove le anime che si sono perse si ammassano nell'attesa che qualcuno vada e riprenderle.”
― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, quote from The Fellowship of the Ring: The Lord of the Rings Part One


“Purple is such a twisted, complex color - it conveys the passion of red, the sadness of blue, the depravity of black. Purple is neither happy nor sad. It is pain and despair but longing, too - fiery desire, beaten and bruised but struggling onward, determined to overcome, to move forward rather than retreat.”
― James Patterson, quote from Invisible

About BookQuoters

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.
