― 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..
“Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.”
― Tina Fey, quote from Bossypants
“Look around you, Lessa of Pern, look around the Weyr with unveiled eyes. Old and hallowed is the Weyr? Yes, but shabby and worn – and disregarded. Yes, you were elated to sit in the Weyrwoman’s great chair at the Council Table, but the padding is thin and the fabric dusty. Humbled to think your hands rest where Moreta’s and Torene’s had rested? Well, the stone is ingrained with dirt and needs a good scrubbing. And your rump may rest where theirs did – but that’s not where you have your brains.”
― Anne McCaffrey, quote from Dragonflight
“Als ich siebzehn wurde, war mein Körper ausgewachsen, und mein Gesicht nahm die Züge an, die es noch heute zeigt. Da hörte ich auf, mich im Spiegel zu mustern, um mich mit den vollkommenen Frauen aus den Filmen und den Zeitschriften zu vergleichen, und entschied, dass ich schön war aus dem einfachen Grund, weil ich Lust hatte, schön zu sein.”
― Isabel Allende, quote from Eva Luna
“Really? And what curse befalls the Adams of the world?"
Ann opens her mouth and, presumably thinking of nothing to say, closes it again.
It is Felicity who answers, eyes steely. "They are weak to temptation. And we are their temptresses.”
― Libba Bray, quote from Rebel Angels
“She began to wonder whether she would not do better to finish her life alone. What was left of life seemed unimportant.”
― Willa Cather, quote from O Pioneers!
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.
