― M.A. Stacie, quote from Unwritten Rules
“I always watch you. You consume my every thought.”

“چه اشتباه غمانگیزی! چه بسا احساسهای ما همه همینگونه باشند. خود را میان موجوداتی شبیه به خود میپنداریم، اما جز یخبندان و سنگستانی که به زبانی برای ما نامفهوم سخن میگویند چیزی در اطرافمان نیست. میخواهیم به دوستی درود بگوییم و دست پیش میبریم که دستی را بفشاریم، اما دست به لختی فرو میافتد. لبخند بر لبمان میخشکد زیرا در مییابیم که دوستی نیست و کاملا تنهاییم.”
― Dino Buzzati, quote from The Tartar Steppe
“I was so happy I wanted to fold all the people into paper airplanes and fly them into the lidless eye of that big yellow moon.”

― Paulo Coelho, quote from The Devil and Miss Prym
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.
