“No, (slightly grandly) it’s time that time-turning became a thing of the past. ALBUS: You’re quite proud of that phrase, aren’t you? SCORPIUS: Been working on it all day.”
― John Tiffany, quote from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II
“أعلى درجات التحصيل للإنسان هى أن يصل إلى نقطة تنعدم عندها كل رغباته. ذلك هو "السلام الداخلى" لبوذا، سعادة داخلية لإنسان لم تعد لديه أى رغبة، إنسان كريم مع الجميع ولا يطلب شيئاً من أحد مطلقاً. كما كانت من تعاليم البوذا كذلك أن الإنسان الذى يصبح سيد رغباته لن يعود للحياة مرة أخرى بعد موته. فقط الأرواح المتعلقة برغبات الحياة هى التى تعاد ولادتها، هكذا آمن أتباع البوذا. فالإنسان الذى لا يعود متعلقاً بالحياة يتحرر من الدائرة الأبدية للولادة والموت، كما يتحرر كذلك على الأقل من المعاناة. يدعو البوذيين هذه المرحلة "النيرفانا".”
― E.H. Gombrich, quote from A Little History of the World
“I've been thinking a lot about the word "everything." Whenever something horrible happens, you hear people say they "lost everything." They lost their house or their car or their stuff or whatever, and to them it feels like everything. But they have no idea what it's like to lose everything. I thought I knew, but now I realize even I haven't lost everything, because I still have that polka-dot swimsuit in my memory. I still have those ice cream nights and the scorpion that scared Marin and the Barking Bulldogs sweatshirt and the robins-egg-blue nail polish. Somehow having those things makes the other things matter less.
I'm wondering if it's even possible to lose "everything" or if you just have to keep redefining what "everything" is.”
― Jennifer Brown, quote from Torn Away
“Why did you save my life?”
“Because I would rather endure the hell of this Earth with you than spend an eternity in paradise without you,” he replied without hesitation.”

FracturedBookQuoters 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.
