“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.”
― 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.”

― 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.”

“No, emptiness is not nothingness. Emptiness is a type of existence. You must use this existential emptiness to fill yourself.”
― Liu Cixin, quote from The Three-Body Problem
“Money problems can always be solved by a man not frightened by them. ”
― Robert A. Heinlein, quote from Have Space Suit—Will Travel
“Logic and morality made it impossible to accept an illogical and immoral reality; they engendered a rejection of reality which as a rule led the cultivated man rapidly to despair. But the varieties of the man-animal are innumerable, and I saw and have described men of refined culture, especially if young, throw all this overboard, simplify and barbarize themselves, and survive. A simple man, accustomed not to ask questions of himself, was beyond the reach of the useless torment of asking himself why.
The harsher the oppression, the more widespread among the oppressed is the willingness, with all its infinite nuances and motivations, to collaborate: terror, ideological seduction, servile imitation of the victor, myopic desire for any power whatsoever… Certainly, the greatest responsibility lies with the system, the very structure of the totalitarian state; the concurrent guilt on the part of individual big and small collaborators is always difficult to evaluate… they are the vectors and instruments of the system’s guilt… the room for choices (especially moral choices) was reduced to zero”
― Primo Levi, quote from The Drowned and the Saved
“Love will be an impulse that will inspire and ruin in equal measure.”
― Neil Gaiman, quote from Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fiction and Illusions
“That is the hazard in curiosity, I thought: all the certainties fragment and dissolve. A man curious enough and persistent enough might find even the round and solid ball of earth to be not so. He might be less proud of his faculty of reasoning when it left him with nothing whereon to stand. But then again, was not the truth a more solid foundation than illusion?”

Spoon River Antholog...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.
