“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
“Страхуваме се от собствените си чувства. А когота ги почувстваме, веднага мислим, че сме измамници.”

“- 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.”

― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from A Time to Love and a Time to Die
“- 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
“Years ago, in a motivational seminar by the master, Zig Ziglar, I heard a story about how mediocrity will sneak up on you. The story goes that if you drop a frog into boiling water, he will sense the pain and immediately jump out. However, if you put a frog in room-temperature water, he will swim around happily, and as you gradually turn the water up to boiling, the frog will not sense the change. The frog is lured to his death by gradual change. We can lose our health, our fitness, and our wealth gradually, one day at a time. It might be a cliché, but that’s because it is true: The enemy of “the best” is not “the worst.” The enemy of “the best” is “just fine.”
― Dave Ramsey, quote from The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness
“1. Organize before they rise!
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
4. Blades don't need reloading.
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.”
― Max Brooks, quote from The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead
“Any deep harmony that might eventually govern them would not be the result of their having much in common - having anything, in fact, but their affection; and would really find its explanation in some sense, on the part of each, of being poor where the other was rich.”
― Henry James, quote from The Wings of the Dove
“I now understand the whole jumping on the couch and punching the floor thing. I don't know how to express how I feel! Where's Oprah?”
― Jamie McGuire, quote from A Beautiful Wedding
“Bean also saw how the man’s body moved inside his clothes, with a kind of contained strength that made his clothes seem like Kleenex, he could rip through the fabric just by tugging at it a little, because nothing could hold him in except his own self-control.”
― Orson Scott Card, quote from Shadow of the Hegemon
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.
