Popular quotes

“Instead of following your heart, you are choosing to lead to lead it. The world says to follow your heart, but if you are not it, then someone or something else is. The Bible says that "the heart is more deceitful than all else" (Jeremiah 17:9), and it will always pursue that which feels right at the moment.”
― quote from The Love Dare

“He began to see a kind of beauty in the strangeness of the field, too. It was quite different from what he had been taught to expect —as he had already discovered, were many of the things in this world—yet there weas pleasure for him now in its alien colors and textures, its new sights and smells. In sounds, too; for his ears were very acute and he heard many strange and pleasant noises in the grass, the diverse rubbings and clickings of those insects that had survived the cold weather of early November; and even, with his head now against the ground, the very small, subtle murmurings in the earth itself.”
― Walter Tevis, quote from The Man Who Fell to Earth

“Many of life's decisions are hard. What kind of career should you pursue? Does your ailing mother need to be put in a nursing home? You and your spouse already have two kids; should you have a third?

such decisions are hard for a number of reasons. For one the stakes are high. There's also a great deal of uncertainty involved. Above all, decisions like these are rare, which means you don't get much practice making them. You've probably gotten good at buying groceries, since you do it so often, but buying your first house is another thing entirely.”
― Steven D. Levitt, quote from SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes And Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance

“Su rabia y pérdida, la entiendo perfectamente, y no la culpo en lo más mínimo. No hay peor sensación que tener todo tu mundo destrozado y que no haya nada que puedas hacer para detenerlo. Sentirte en completa y absoluta miseria, y mirar alrededor y ver un mundo que en realidad no da una mierda por ti... eso te golpea a un nivel que agradezco a los dioses no puedas entender o imaginar. Porque nadie debería conocer ese tipo de infierno. Estás perdido en el dolor, gritando a pleno pulmón pidiendo ayuda y nadie te escucha. A nadie le importa. Ellos siguen con sus putrefactas vidas, ajenos a tu agonía. Y cuando llega el momento en que te das cuenta de lo solo que estás... de lo poco que les importas a otras personas, pierdes todo el funcionamiento cognitivo. Te conviertes en un animal rabioso. Todo lo que importa entonces es que les hagas comprender tu dolor. Sacarlos de su ciega autocomplacencia para que compartan ese infierno tuyo. En ese momento, quieres sentir su sangre en las manos. Saborearla en tus labios. Bañarte en ella hasta estar borracho y tener la piel arrugada. Ese es el lugar de locura que vive profundamente dentro de todos. La mayoría de la gente puede tocarlo una, quizás dos veces en su vida, pero jamás llegan a traspasarlo.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Time Untime

“They all had to do something: they had to make a start in life; they had to go through life. Even though a single hour can be so long.”
― Herman Koch, quote from The Dinner

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.
