“ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but she has replaced that with her own version-Always live strong”
― Durjoy Datta, quote from Till the Last Breath . . .
“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”

“It’s all right,’ said Julian, putting his arm round Anne.”
― Enid Blyton, quote from Five on a Treasure Island
“So how ’bout you?” he asks.
“Me?”
“Um, yeah.” He grins. “Your name?”
“Oh, my name.” I smile. “Emily,” I say, surprised at how effortlessly it comes out. How easy it is.
“Emily,” repeats Teague.
He reaches out and removes a twig from my hair.
I don’t even flinch.
And you know, for a second, we just stare at each other.
Right there on the side of the road.
There’s this blissful stretched-out pause--
The birds are chirping.
The sun is shining.
It’s like the movies.
“So--” he says. “Where you coming from?”
“Oh, um--” I try to remember what Ava told me to say.
“California,” I blurt out.
It’s clumsy.
“Oh, I meant, where in town--but, you know, that’s cool. California, huh--” He nods and smiles brightly. “I was pretty certain you weren’t from here.”
As he talks, Teague walks over to my bike--Ava’s bike--and pulls it out of the ditch.
“Well, Emily from California--” He unscrews a knob and removes the entire back wheel from the bike.
“You’ve got yourself a flat.”
― Megan Shull, quote from Amazing Grace
“If you have a gun, you can shoot one, two, three, five people; but if you have an ideology and stick to it, thinking it is the absolute truth, you can kill millions.”

“-Kylve joessa! Hiekkapohja! Ihanan pehmeä! ulvoi Fredrikson.
-Valhetta ja petosta, sanoi drontti Edvard. -Pienin tuittukin tietää, että joki on raivostuttavan täynnä kiviä!
-Eikä ole! Hiekkapohja! Fredrikson huusi.
Drontti mutisi hetken itsekseen ja sanoi lopulta:
-Hyvä on. Minä kylven siinä sinun mörönmoisessa joessasi. Siiryhän syrjään, minulla ei ole varaa kustantaa enää hautajaisia. Ja jos petät minua, senkin täinmuna, saat maksaa hautajaisesi itse!”
― Tove Jansson, quote from Moominpappa's Memoirs
“Further, nothing, except sin, is contrary to an act of virtue. But war is contrary to peace. Therefore war is always a sin.”

The Interpretation o...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.
