― Eoin Colfer, quote from The Wish List
“Satan was crouched in the corner of his office, playing a gameboy, 'Die alien scum' he was saying feverishly..”

“I love the fact that I've know you all my life. It feels just right when you're beside me. It feels like I've been lost in the desert for years, and ... I've finally come home.”
― Rachel Morgan, quote from The Faerie Prince
“Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the Law of his being.”
― James Allen, quote from As a Man Thinketh: You Are Literally What You Think
“Confruntarea cu moartea iminenta poate sa propulseze omul in intelepciune si la o noua profunzime a existentei.”
― Irvin D. Yalom, quote from Momma and the Meaning of Life: Tales of Psychotherapy
“: বাজে কথা বাদ দিয়ে আসল কথা আদায় করাই তো পণ্ডিতের অভিপ্রায়।
: কিন্তু বিধাতার নয়। তিনি আসল জিনিস সৃষ্টি করেছেন বাজে জিনিসকে লালন করবার জন্যে। তিনি সম্মান দেন ফলের আঁঠিকে, ভালোবাসা দেন ফলের শাঁসকে।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Red Oleanders
“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.”

Hear the Wind SingBookQuoters 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.
