“Friends don't have to have a lot of things in common. But there's one thing friends usually do have in common - a sense of humor. That doesn't mean they find all the same things funny. Sometimes, they might even laugh at each other. But at the end of the day, friends can always laugh with each other.”
― Pseudonymous Bosch, quote from You Have to Stop This
“Sometimes when we are at our lowest points, we make the greatest discoveries.”

“عمر الفضاء قديم جداً.. خمسة عشر ملياراً من السنين تقريبا . ورغم هذا العمر المديد لا أحد استطاع أن يقول لنا كيف نشأ هذا الفضاء لأول مرة . إننا جميعاً نعيش مغامره فريدة لا أحد يدرك سرها. إننا نرقص ونلعب ونثرثر ونضحك في عالم لا قدرة لنا على فهم بداياته الأولى”
― Jostein Gaarder, quote from The Orange Girl

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.
