“Предимството на човек , който дълго е тънел в калта е че за него всичко е така ново и възбуждащо, като че ли го преживява за първи път. Всичко- дори една чаша или една бяла покривка”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“He’s afraid," Graber said.
"Yes, naturally. But he’s a good dog."
"And a man-eater."
"We’re all that."
"Why?"
"We are. And we think, just like that dog, that we are still good. And just like him we are looking for a bit of warmth and light and friendship.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die

“- Връащам ви книгата за Швейцария.
- Не биваше да я спасявате. Мечтите не бива да се спасяват.
- Напротив. - каза Гребер - Какво друго, ако не те?
- Вярата. Мечтите се раждат отново.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“Jautāt otram nozīmē vēl joprojām izvairīties no izšķirošā spieduma. Es gan arī īstenībā negaidīju atbildi no jums. Būtībā esmu jautājis tikai pats sev. Bet dažbrīd to var izdarīt, tikai jautājot otram.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“Cilvēks var būt atbildīgs vienīgi par to, ko pats nodarījis. Un arī tikai tad, ja tas nav darīts pēc pavēles.”

“- Vai katrā ziņā kaut kam arvien jābūt patiesībai?
- Laikam ne. Kāpēc?
- Es nezinu. Bet iespējams, ka būtu mazāk karu, ja cilvēki tik ļoti negribētu pārliecināt cits citu par savas personiskās patiesības pareizību.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“Tu netrīci. Dzīvība tevī trīc. Tam nav nekāda sakara ar drosmi. Drosme cilvēkam ir tad, kad tas var pretoties. Viss pārējais ir dižošanās. Mūsu dzīvība ir saprātīgāka nekā mēs paši.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“Nachts ist man das, was man eigentlich sein soll; nicht das, was man geworden ist.”

“- Dažbrīd cilvēks pavisam aizmirst, ka viņš dzīvo.

― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“Re nu, kādi mēs esam! Baidāmies savu jūtu. Un, tiklīdz tās samanām, tā tūlīt domājam, ka esam krāpnieki.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“Sasprindzinājums bija izzudis, un viņš jutās kā cilvēks, kurš pavisam nejauši uzdrošinājies uzkāpt uz plāna ledus un sev par lielu pārsteigumu redz, ka tas nelūst. Viņš zina, ka tas ir plāns un ka ilgi varbūt neizturēs, bet pašlaik tas tur, un ar to pietiek.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“Shame is a distinct feeling. I couldn’t look at my hands around the coffee cup or hear my own laments without feeling appalled, wanting desperately to fall silent, grow smaller. More than that, I was uncomfortably conscious of my whole body, from the awkward way that the shafts of my hair were thrusting out of my scalp to my feet, which felt dirty as well as cold. Everywhere, I seemed to feel my skin from the inside, as if it now stood away from my flesh, separated by a millimeter of mortified space.”
― Jane Smiley, quote from A Thousand Acres
“She wore her determination like war paint.”
― Sara Donati, quote from Into the Wilderness
“I wonder why no one called the police about the rocket launcher? God knows my neighbors usually report it if I so much as fart in my backyard. (Bubba)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Infinity
“The real question is how much suffering we've caused our womenfolk by turning headscarves into symbols - and using women as pawns in a political game.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from Snow
“Dogs get howling all down the way. Somewhere a bicycle bell rings. Somewhere else there's a war on. Somewhere else people turn to shadows and powder in an instant and the streets turn to funnels and light in the sky with their burning. Somewhere a war is over.”
― Tim Winton, quote from Cloudstreet
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.
