“»Pratite me do sobe?« upitala je i ne pokušavajuci
prikriti razdražljivost.
»Da.« Ali ni on nije zvucao sretno zbog toga.

»Ja sam drag momak.«
Trpko se nasmijala i pogledala ga krajickom oka.
»Ako to stvarno mislite, gadno se varate. Možda su vas

“Ova je veza
osuðena na to da završi slomljenim srcem, ali možda,

pazila, možda uspije sacuvati barem komadic.”
― Rachel Gibson, quote from True Love and Other Disasters

“While all women are wicked, not all are weak.”
― quote from Stray

“Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died. Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.”
― G.K. Chesterton, quote from The Everlasting Man

“I again flourished my papers: “Here’re my credentials from the Coalition Administration.”

The American scrutinized the papers, shook his head in amazement, and smiled. “A South African,” he said. “You’re sure a long way from home.” He radioed through for instructions and indicated that I should bring my hired car up to the side of the roadblock and wait.”
― Lawrence Anthony, quote from Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo

“Ядохме кебапчета в деня, в който се запознахме. Купихме си от една лавка и ги изпапахме прави, дърво и камък се пукаше от студ. Жената, дето ги печеше, носеше плетена вълнена жилетка и готварско боне. Придружаваше ни в глада, наблюдавайки всяка наша хапка, щастлива, че оценяваме нейните кебапчета. Те бяха гордост. Гордостта на дребния й живот на крайпътна готвачка. Виждам я, като че ли е пред мен... пролетарско лице, отрудено и все пак безкрайно мило. От онези добронамерени човеци, на които попадаш случайно и ти идва да ги прегърнеш, защото ти се усмихват от дълбините на своя човешки опит и отведнъж те измъкват от другата половина на света, онази унилата, на хората, затънали в своята локва тъмнина. Колко такива щастливци срещах тогава в Сараево! Имаха зачервени от студа бузи, да, но и от свенливост, понеже се осмеляваха да мечтаят.”
― Margaret Mazzantini, quote from Twice Born

“It is not our exalted feelings, it is our sentiments that build the necessary home. The need to attach themselves makes wandering people strike roots in a day: wherever we unconsciously feel, we live.”
― Elizabeth Bowen, quote from The Death of the Heart

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.
