“Dying is not a solution.. I want to live with You..!”
― Hari Kumar K, quote from When Strangers meet..
“If Allah has willed it that way... He must have better plans for you child...”
― Hari Kumar K, quote from When Strangers meet..
“Ansar is an Arabic term that means helpers or supporters. They were the citizens of Medina who helped Prophet Mohammed upon His arrival to the Holy city. While 'Hussain' is a derivation of 'Hassan' that means 'GOOD' (I also owe this one to Khaled Hosseini).
That's how my favorite character in my debut novel 'When Strangers meet..' gets his name... HUSSAIN ANSARI, because he is the one who helps Jai realize the truth in the story and inspires his son, Arshad, to have FAITH in Allah.”
― Hari Kumar K, quote from When Strangers meet..
“Do you know which is the greatest epic till date?”
― Hari Kumar K, quote from When Strangers meet..
“I can very well understand your frustration, but you must stick to your dreams. Try Harder!”
― Hari Kumar K, quote from When Strangers meet..
“who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of man, and His compulsion is our liberation.”
― C.S. Lewis, quote from Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life
“you could be ordinary and attempt something extraordinary, without being able to explain it in a logical way.”
― Rachel Joyce, quote from The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
“I have the death sentence in seven genres.”
― Jasper Fforde, quote from The Well of Lost Plots
“Try to live. Try to be happy. [...] Things end, people leave, and life goes on. You need the bad things to feel the good ones.”
― Elizabeth Scott, quote from Perfect You
“Insanity is not evil, but all evil is insane. Evil itself is never funny, but insanity sometimes can be. We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil’s power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.”
― Dean Koontz, quote from Life Expectancy
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.
