“Борьба со злом! Но что есть
зло? Всякому вольно понимать это по-своему. Для нас, ученых, зло в
невежестве, но церковь учит, что невежество - благо, а все зло от знания.
Для землепашца зло - налоги и засухи, а для хлеботорговца засухи - добро.
Для рабов зло - это пьяный и жестокий хозяин, для ремесленника - алчный
ростовщик. Так что же есть зло, против которого надо бороться, дон Румата?
- Он грустно оглядел слушателей. - Зло неистребимо. Никакой человек не
способен уменьшить его количество в мире. Он может несколько улучшить свою
собственную судьбу, но всегда за счет ухудшения судьбы других. И всегда
будут короли, более или менее жестокие, бароны, более или менее дикие, и
всегда будет невежественный народ, питающий восхищение к своим угнетателям
и ненависть к своему освободителю. И все потому, что раб гораздо лучше
понимает своего господина, пусть даже самого жестокого, чем своего
освободителя, ибо каждый раб отлично представляет себя на месте господина,
но мало кто представляет себя на месте бескорыстного освободителя. Таковы
люди, дон Румата, и таков наш мир.”
― Arkady Strugatsky, quote from Hard to Be a God
“Shoot. I feel guilty for peeing. That first bottle of wine alone was almost two hundred dollars.”
― Tina Reber, quote from Love Unrehearsed
“I'm sick of this. It's like being twelve again, dealing with all this damned drama. I like her. Does she like me? What if she doesn't like me?”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from The Rising
“History is natural selection. Mutant versions of the past struggle for dominance; new species of fact arise,and old, saurian truths go to the wall, blindfolded and smoking last cigarettes. Only the mutations of the strong survive. The weak, the anonymous, the defeated leave few marks: field-patterns, axe-heads, folk-tales, broken pitchers, burial mounds, the fading memory of their youthful beauty. History loves only those who dominate her: it is a relationship of mutual enslavement.”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from Shame
“Why makes thou it so strange? She is a woman, therefore may be wooed; She is a woman, therefore may be won; She is Lavinia , therefore must be loved.”

The Enchantress of F...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.
