“You need to decide to stop letting their crazy box you in.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“You don’t see yourself clearly, but I do. You’re the man that I want, and I’m fighting for you, fighting for us.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart

“From the moment I saw you it has only been you Sabrina, and it will only ever be you.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“You’re so beautiful baby, so perfect inside and out, and believe me I’d know. You’re just as deep in me as I am in you. I feel you everywhere Sabrina.”
― Ella Fox, quote from Broken Hart
“Being in a relationship doesn’t mean that you never get aroused by anything else ever again. It just means that you don’t act on it. I think it’s healthy to maintain the ability to be aroused in other situations. Relationships shouldn’t be a prison.
You’d have gotten hard before, and you should now. As long as you know that the only person you’re going to be sliding your big hard cock in to, we’re fine. There really is a happy medium between the craziness of your parents with their compulsion to continue having sex with anyone they wanted, and couples who expect one another to be perfect at all times with the idea that no feelings of sexuality outside of the relationship are acceptable. Both of those types of relationships would never work for me. What’s perfect for me is that we stay ourselves, and make each other truly happy”

― Stephen R. Lawhead, quote from Byzantium
“في نمط الكينونة, لا يكون الإيمان -في المقام الأول- مجرد إيمان بأفكار معينة وإن كان من الممكن أن يتضمن هذا أيضا, إنما الإيمان- في المقام الأول- هو توجه داخلي, موقف, ولعله من الأنسب أن يقال إن شخصا ما في حالة الإيمان, على أن يقال إنه يملك إيمانا,يمكن ان الشخص في حالة ايمان بنفسه وبالأخرين, والمتدين في حالة إيمان بالله, والله في العهد القديم هو بالدرجة الأولى نفي للأصنام للآلهة التي كان الناس يملكونها.
وإيماني بنفسي وبالأخرين وبالجنس البشري يتضمن ايضا نوعا من اليقين, ولكنه يقين اساسه تجربتي الذاتية, وليس خضوعي لسلطة تملي عليّ نمطا معينا من الإيمان. إنه يقين الحقيقة التي قد يستحيل إثباتها بأدلة عقلية ملزمة, ومع ذلك فهي الحقيقة التي أنا على يقين منها لأن ثمة أدلة عليها من تجربتي الذاتية.
إذا كنت على يقين من أن شخصا ما تتوافر فيه صفات التكامل الإنساني فإنني لا استطيع أن اقيم الدليل على أن تكامله يمكن ان يستمر لآخر يوم في حياته.
وحتى لو حدث, فليس ثمة ما يستبعد احتمال اختلال التكامل لو امتدت الحياة به, إن يقين يقوم على معرفتي بالشخص الآخر, وعلى تجربتي الشخصية في الحب والتكامل الإنساني, وهذا النوع من المعرفة لا استطيع التوصل اليه إلا بقدر ما استطيع تنحية ذاتيتي ورؤية شخصية الإنسان الآخر كما هي, واستجلاء بناء قواه الداخلية, رؤيته في تفرده كما في انسانيته الشاملة في الوقت نفسه.”
― Erich Fromm, quote from To Have or to Be? The Nature of the Psyche
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.
