“What has become clear is that lies are just a temporary solution to a permanent problem. Lying to spare a person's feelings, even when the truth would help them to improve, damages them in the long run.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“And then I realized that my utopia was a terrible place, and no one should ever put me in charge of creating a perfect society.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“Lying to protect yourself lasts for so long before the truth emerges. Like a wild animal, the truth is too powerful to remain caged”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“And that gives me a lot of hope, because if I don’t know what perfect means, it’s not something I can reach on my own. Which means that I can stop trying to be perfect and just try to love the people around me and the things I’m doing.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“Intelligence is a gift, not a right. It must be wielded not as a weapon but as a tool for the betterment of others.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“Intelligence must be used for the benefit, and not to the detriment, of society. Those who use intelligence for their own personal gain or to the detriment of others have not properly borne the responsibility of their gift, and are not welcome in our faction.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“Cruel thoughts lead to cruel words, and hurt you as much as they hurt their target.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“We do not believe that any other virtue is more important than bravery”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
“I will be my undoing
If I become my obsession.
I will forget the ones I love
If I do not serve them.
I will war with others
If I refuse to see them.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant

“We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep.
We rise; one wand'ring thought pollutes the day.
We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep,
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away;
It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free.
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability!”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley, quote from The Complete Poems
“You picked the wrong girl to dominate, Dracula.”
― Rebecca Zanetti, quote from Fated
“The “consumer loan” piles that Wall Street firms, led by Goldman Sachs, asked AIG FP to insure went from being 2 percent subprime mortgages to being 95 percent subprime mortgages. In a matter of months, AIG FP, in effect, bought $50 billion in triple-B-rated subprime mortgage bonds by insuring them against default.”
― Michael Lewis, quote from The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine
“...
What the Bible does not mention, but what must be true is that, years later, Lazarus still died. The people Jesus healed were inevitably sick again at some point in their lives. The people Jesus fed miraculously were hungry again a few days later. More important than the very obvious might and power shown by Jesus' miracles is His love. He loved these people enough to do everything in His power to "make it better." He entered into their suffering and loved them right there.”
― Katie J. Davis, quote from Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption
“Why does it have to be like this?' I asked bitterly. 'Why does life have to be so short, with all the good things passing quickly. Is it worth living at all?”

Stuffocation: Living...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.
