“Een vrouw in Vikingkleren zwaaide naar hem, gebaarde dat hij naar de opening in de piramide moest rennen.
'Rennen, Jake!'
Het was Kady!
Hij herkende haar bijna niet. Haar kleren waren gescheurd en ze had bloed op haar gezicht, maar ze stond fier overeind. Ze hief het zwaard in haar hand op en weest naar de top van de piramide.”
― James Rollins, quote from Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow
“Yes, yes,” the Premier interrupted. “You harness the atom. Crudely and without finesse. So far you’ve managed to blow yourselves up.” He paused. “Several times. After you accomplish worldwide peace, deep space travel, stop poisoning your own air, bodies, and repair your ozone, planet 2276549, known to its native inhabitants as Earth will be considered for membership.”
― Penelope Fletcher, quote from Venomous
“ذاكرة الإنسان وذكرياته لا يمكن وصفها بالقريبة أو البعيدة وفقاً لترتيبها الزمني القديم أو الحديث فحسب. قد تبقى حادثة ترقى إلى الطفولة من ستين عاماً في ذاكرتنا بشكل أفضل مما تبقى واقعة البارحة، وتبعث بالصورة الأكثر صفاءً وحياة ص 32”

“Take a trip in my mind
see all that I've seen,
and you'd be called a
beast, not a human being...
Fuck it, cause there's
not much I can do,
there's no way out, my
screams have no voice no
matter how loud I shout...
I could be called a
low life, but life ain't
as low as me. I'm
in juvenile hall headed
for the penitentiary.
George Trevino, sixteen, "Who Am I?”
― Edward Humes, quote from No Matter How Loud I Shout: A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court

Love in the RuinsBookQuoters 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.
