“They're afraid of change, and we must change. They're afraid of the young, and we are the young. They're afraid of music, and music is our life. They're afraid of books, and knowledge, and ideas. They're most afraid of our magic.”
― James Patterson, quote from Witch & Wizard

“Margo, they're afraid of us. They're afraid of everything.' And then I kept on talking without really thinking, until it turned into a chant:


They're afraid of change, and we must change.
They're afraid of the young, and we are the young.
They're afraid of music, and music is our life.
They're afraid of books, and knowledge, and ideas.
They're most afraid of our magic.”
― James Patterson, quote from Witch & Wizard

― James Patterson, quote from Witch & Wizard


“She had a crooked nose and a pointy chin with a huge mole that had wiry black hairs growing out of it. Heck, if the New Order was really looking to arrest witches…”

“وكان هذا الاعتماد على الآلات يعني أنّنا لم نعد نعامل العقل البشري على أنّه عنصر أساس في العملية. إذ كلما زاد العقل البشري في إنتاج وسائل توفير الجهد كلما تضاءلت إمكانياته وأصبح ميالاً إلى النظر إلى كينونته باعتبارها آلة تفكير سلبية. إنّ الإنجازات العلمية للإنسان خلال القرون الماضية لم تدفع الإنسان إلا لمزيد من التفكير في نفسه كونه مخلوقاً سلبياً.”
― Colin Wilson, quote from The Mind Parasites


“The Marines,' my dad said, 'will teach you everything I love you too much to teach you.”
― quote from One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer


“أن الجنون في الإنسان ناجم عن اصطدام الإنسان بذكائه ذاته”

“If ever there was a bloke at the very mention of whose name it would be excusable for people to tremble like aspens, that bloke is Sir Roderick Glossop. He has an enormous bald head, all the hair which ought to be on it seeming to have run into his eyebrows, and his eyes go through you like a couple of Death Rays.
"How are you, how are you, how are you?" I said, overcoming a slight desire to leap backwards out of the window.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, quote from Carry on, Jeeves

About BookQuoters

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.
