― Donato Carrisi, quote from The Whisperer

― 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.”

― quote from Study Bible-ESV
“The less control people had over their work, the higher their blood pressure during work hours. Moreover, blood pressure at home was unrelated to the level of job control, indicating that the spike during work hours was specifically caused by lack of choice on the job. People with little control over their work also experienced more back pain, missed more days of work due to illness in general, and had higher rates of mental illness—the human equivalent of stereotypies, resulting in the decreased quality of life common to animals reared in captivity.”
― Sheena Iyengar, quote from The Art of Choosing
“Did you tell people that songs weren’t the same as a warm body, a soft mouth?”

“Real protection means teaching children to manage risks on their own, not shielding them from every hazard.”

Who Ordered This Tru...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.
