“Egyikre sem felelt. Keserűen mosolygott, és simogatta a vizes kabátját. De akkor elébe állt Geréb, széthúzta vigyorogva a száját, és kevélyes fejbólintással ezt kérdezte tőle:
- Jó volt?
Nemecsek ráemelte nagy kék szemét, és felelt.
- Jó volt - mondta csöndesen, és hozzátette: - Jó volt, sokkal jobb volt, mint a parton állni, és kinevetni engem. Inkább újesztendeig a vízben ülök nyakig, mint hogy összeszűrjem a levet a barátaim ellenségeivel. Én nem bánom, hogy a vízbe nyomtatok. A múltkor magamtól pottyantam a vízbe, akkor is láttalak a szigeten az idegenek közt. De engem meghívhattok magatok közé, hízeleghettek nekem, adhattok ajándékot, amennyit csak akartok, semmi közöm hozzátok. És ha még egyszer a vízbe nyomtok, és még százszor és ezerszer a vízbe nyomtok, akkor is eljövök ide holnap is meg holnapután is! Majd csak megbújok valahol, ahol nem vesztek észre. Nem félek én egyikőtöktől sem. És ha eljöttök hozzánk a Pál utcába, elvenni a földünket, hát majd mi is ott leszünk! És meg fogom nektek mutatni, hogy ahol mi is tízen vagyunk, ott másképpen fognak veletek beszélni, mint ahogy én most itt beszélek. Könnyű volt velem elbánni! Aki erősebb, az győz. A Pásztorok ellopták a golyóimat a Múzeum-kertben, mert ők voltak az erősebbek! Könnyű tíznek egy ellen! De én nem bánom. Engem meg is verhettek, ha úgy tetszik. Hiszen ha akartam volna, nem kellett volna a vízbe mennem. De én nem csaptam fel közétek. Inkább fojtsatok vízbe, és verjetek agyon, de én ugyan nem leszek áruló, mint valaki, aki ott áll, ni... ott...
Kinyújtotta a karját, és Gerébre mutatott, akinek most a torkán akadt a nevetés. A lámpa fénye ráesett a Nemecsek szép szőke kis fejére, víztől fényes ruhájára. Bátran, büszkén, tiszta szívvel nézett a Geréb szemébe, s Geréb ezt a nézést úgy érezte, mintha valami súly szállott volna a lelkére. Elkomolyodott, és lehorgasztotta a fejét. És ebben a pillanatban úgy hallgatott mindenki, olyan nagy volt a csönd, mintha templomban lettek volna a fiúk, s tisztán lehetett hallani, amint Nemecsek ruhájáról a kemény földre csöpögött a víz...”
― Ferenc Molnár, quote from The Paul Street Boys

“I wandered all these years among A world of women, seeking you.”
― Jack London, quote from The Sea Wolf

“Elizabeth."
I feel my smile on my face as I understand what she is doing. Though it's a strange one, she has a name-sound just like I do, and she's telling me what it is. I try to make the same sounds.
"Ehh..beh." I frown. Why is her name-sound so difficult and so long?
She frowns right back at me and says it again. "Elizabeth."
"Beh-tah-babaa."
She sighs and her forehead wrinkles.
"Elizabeth. Eeee-lizzzz-ahh-beth."
"Laahh...baaay."
She taps her chest again.
"Beth!"
The sound is shorter but still very odd.
"Beh-bet."
"Beth," she repeats.
I've had enough. I reach out and touch her should.
"Beh."
"Beth."
I tap her a little harder and growl.
"Beh", I repeat. I tap her again. "BEH!"
Her eyes widen a bit, and she inhales sharply. A moment later, her shoulders drop and she sighs.
"Beh," she says quietly.”
― Shay Savage, quote from Transcendence

“His lines had been honed over centuries, passed down through generations, for poor people needed certain lines; the script was always the same, and they had no option but to beg for mercy.”
― Kiran Desai, quote from The Inheritance of Loss

“          The Self must create           Its own reasons for being.           To shape God,           Shape Self.”
― Octavia E. Butler, quote from Parable of the Sower

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.
