“But the knowing was visceral: if I became a mother, I’d lose myself.”
― Kate Bolick, quote from Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own
“In retrospect, the second cause for delay makes less feminist sense: the long popularity of assertiveness training. Though most women needed to be more assertive (or even more aggressive, though that word was considered too controversial), many assertiveness courses taught women how to play the existing game, not how to change the rules.”
― Gloria Steinem, quote from Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions
“Decker looked behind him. 'That's nice.'
'What?' said Mars, looking too.
'Where the NAACP office was they built a public library. You know people who read are a lot more tolerant and open-minded than those who don't.'
'Great, so let's get everybody in the world a library card.”
― David Baldacci, quote from The Last Mile
“We have all lost touch with life, we all limp, each to a greater or lesser degree.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, quote from Notes from Underground & The Double
“It’s strange, the lack of emotion, the absence of drama in reality. When things happen in real life, extraordinary things, there’s no music…There’s no close-ups. No dramatic camera angles. Nothing happens. Nothing stops, the rest of the world goes on.”

Swear on This LifeBookQuoters 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.
