“And there, with an aching void in his young heart, and all outside so cold, and bare, and strange, Paul sat as if he had taken life unfurnished, and the upholsterer were never coming.”
― Charles Dickens, quote from Dombey and Son


“Adına yaşama kavgası denen kavgayı, karnımızı doyurmak ve sevebilmek uğruna olduğu kadar, içimizdeki kitleyi öldürmek uğruna da veririz. Kimi koşullar altında bu kitle, bireyi bencillikten tümüyle uzak, dahası kendi yararlarına aykırı davranışlara dek götürebilir. "İnsanlık", bir kavram olarak bulunmazdan ve sulandırılmazdan çok önce, kitle olarak vardı. Bu kitle vahşi, coşkun, kocaman ve sımsıcak bir hayvan gibi hepimizin içinde, anasal etkilerin uzanabildiğinden çok, çok daha derinlerde bir anafor gibi kaynar. Kitle, yaşına karşın, dünyanın en genç hayvanı, en öz yaratığı, ereği ve geleceğidir. Onun üzerine hiçbir bilgimiz yok; hâlâ birer birey olduğumuz varsayımıyla yaşamaktayız. Kimi zaman kitle, gök gürültülerinden örülü bir fırtına, içinde her damlanın yaşadığı ve aynı şeyi istediği coşkun bir okyanus gibi saldırır üzerimize. Bu saldırının hemen ardından parçalanıp gitme alışkanlığını henüz koruduğu için, fırtına geçince yine biz olarak, zavallı ve bırakılmış şeytancıklar olarak kalırız. Bir zamanlar bu denli çok, bu denli büyük ve bu denli bütün olduğumuzu anılarımıza sığdıramayız bir türlü. İş bu noktaya vardığında, aklın boyunduruğunda yaşayanlar, sorunu "hastalık" sözcüğüyle açıklarlar, alçakgönüllülüğün bayraktarlığını yapmak isteyen ise, yanılgısının gerçeğe ne denli yaklaştığının bilincine varmaksızın, havayı "insanın içindeki hayvan" diyerek yumuşatır. Kitle ise bu arada yeni bir saldırı için hazırlanır. Bir gün gelecek, kitle artık parçalanmaz olacak; belki önce bir ülkede başlayacak bu gelişme, sonra orayı çıkış noktası yapıp çevresinde ne varsa yutarak ilerleyecek; ta ki artık Ben, Sen, O kavramları değil, ama yalnızca kitle varolacağından, kitlenin varlığına ilişkin tüm kuşkular ortadan kalkana dek.”
― Elias Canetti, quote from Auto-da-Fé


“I still think about him sometimes. I dream about him too. I try to remember what he looked like. It's hard to remember, though, either because of time or because of strong feelings. I sometimes think the stronger you feel about someone the harder it is to picture their face when you are away from them.”
― Ann Brashares, quote from Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood

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.
