“The loss of an only child is the worst pain anyone can endure. After all, what do our parents live for? With thee best years of their youth gone by, they don't have any yearnings for comfort or money or fame; all they want is to see us grow up as happy, healthy human being with all the luxuries that they couldn't afford or need. To see years of love,care and upbringing reduce to dust, burnt or burried, takes away everything from a parent.”
― Durjoy Datta, quote from Till the Last Breath . . .
“Doctor(to patient): Give me your parent's number so that we can tell them what a bad boy you have been.
Patient(Confused, unwilling): You don't need to.
Doctor:Hospital Rules!!! And no matter how much i hate dead people, I hate Unpaid bills more”

“That's what love looks like. It can happen. Two people can find one another, and then work together to sustain that amorphous, incomprehensible third party that has arisen between them. Love becomes an entity unto itself; the thing that determines how life is to be lived.”
― John Ajvide Lindqvist, quote from Harbor
“لا بد أننا جميعا عشنا في أوقات اكتشفنا فيها أنه من الممتع، بل من المريح أن نحط من أنفسنا. حتى ونحن نقول لأنفسنا إننا لا قيمة لنا مرات ومرات، وكأن التكرار سوف يجعل ذلك حقيقة. فجأة نجد أننا تحررنا من كل تلك القيود الأخلاقية التي تدعونا للاذعان، ومن القلق الخانق لضرورة أن نطيع القواعد والقوانين، ومن الاضطرار إلى أن نكز على أسناننا ونحن نتشوف لأن نكون مثل الآخرين. وعندما يحط الآخرون من شأننا، نصل إلى نفس النتيجة التي نصل إليها عندما نبادر نحن إلى إذلال أنفسنا. ثم نجد أنفسنا في مكان حيث يمكن أن ننغمس بمنتهى الأريحية في وجودنا ورائحتنا وقذارتنا وعاداتنا، المكان الذي يمكن أن نتخلى فيه عن كل أمل في تحسين الذات والتوقف عن محاولة تغذية الأفكار المتفائلة حول البشر الآخرين. هذا المكان شديد الراحة لدرجة أننا لا نستطيع إلا أن نشعر بالامتنان للغضب والأنانية التي أوصلتنا إلى تلك اللحظة من الحرية والعزلة.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Other Colors: Essays and A Story
“Don't worry Toots, I told ya before, you don't have the right equipment to tempt me but if my tastes ever change from muscle to moobs then I might jump you.”
― quote from The Triple Goddess
“And the geography of the thing--the geography of them--was completely and hopelessly wrong.”
― Jennifer E. Smith, quote from The Geography of You and Me
“The brain is an incredible multitasker. At the same time that it’s piercing itself with superheated needles of anguish, it’s ruthlessly making plans, contingencies, plotting out a future, giving zero fucks whether it’ll ever see it. On the day I die, it’ll be calculating what to have for dinner as it bombards itself with pain signals from my amputated legs or my clocked-out heart.”

No Matter How Loud I...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.
