“When death lies ahead, it's natural to look back.”
― Isamu Fukui, quote from Truancy
“I believe love is when you are willing to value someone's or something's existence above your own.”
― Isamu Fukui, quote from Truancy
“There come times in our lives when we do things that we don't understand. We confuse ourselves, we might even logically oppose our impulses, and yet we act on them anyway.
There are some things that we feel that we absolutely must do. We might know that they're wrong, or pointless, or gravely punishable, and yet we do them anyway. These actions are not born of anger or emotion - we are perfectly sober. It's rather inexplicable. When the time comes, we can't stop ourselves, and so we cannot blame ourselves.”
― Isamu Fukui, quote from Truancy
“Has anything in particular been bothering you?
Plenty of things. I can't remember some of them, but they piss me off anyway.”
― Isamu Fukui, quote from Truancy
“Money is a trivial thing. How you spend it is nothing compared to how you spend your life.”

“قلت للضابط إن ما يحدث لأمر سيء جداً، وقلت لن انه ليس على المفوض أن يعطي مثل هذه الأوامر. قلت أن الأمر كان سيئاً جداً، وأن علينا ألا نتقاتل، لأننا أخوة، وقال الضابط أنه لافرق، حيث أن الأمريكيين مولعون بالقتال حتى ولو كانوا أبناء أم واحدة,

“In a split second of eternity, everything is changed, transfigured. A few bars of music, rising from an unfamiliar place, a touch of perfection in the flow of human dealings--I lean my head slowly to one side, reflect on the camellia on the moss on the temple, reflect on a cup of tea, while outside the wind is rustling foliage, the forward rush of life is crystalized in a brilliant jewel of a moment that knows neither projects nor future, human destiny is rescued from the pale succession of days, glows with light at last and, surpassing time, warms my tranquil heart. ”
― Muriel Barbery, quote from The Elegance of the Hedgehog
“Please remember: things are not what they seem.”

The Complete PoemsBookQuoters 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.
