“Αν δεν ξεχειλίσει η καρδιά του ανθρώπου από αγάπη ή από θυμό, τίποτα δεν μπορεί να γίνει στον κόσμο...”

“وأنت وحدك يا إلهي تبقى راسخاً،عليكَ أتوكل !
فثبت قدمي ، لأنَّ عقلي يتأرجح !”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“«Μια μέρα ο Αλλάχ βρέθηκε μπόσικος, έπιασε φωτιά και κοπριά κι έπλασε το Ρωμιό. Μα ευτύς, ως τον είδε, το μετάνιωσε. Είχε ένα μάτι ο αφιλότιμος που τρυπούσε ατσάλι. «Τι να γίνει τώρα, μουρμούρισε ο Αλλάχ, την έπαθα. Ας πιάσω να κάμω τώρα τον Τούρκο, να σφάξει το Ρωμιό, να βρει ο κόσμος την ησυχία του.» Και ευτύς, χωρίς να χασομεράει, βάνει σ’ ένα ταψί τον Τούρκο και το Ρωμιό να παλέψουν. Πάλευαν, πάλευαν ως το βράδυ, κανένας δεν έριχνε το κάτω τον άλλον Μα ευτύς, ως σκοτείνιασε, βάνει ο άτιμος Ρωμιός τρικλοποδιά, κάτω ο Τούρκος! « Ο διάολος θα με πάρει, μουρμούρισε ο Αλλάχ, την έπαθα πάλι. Τούτοι οι Ρωμιοί θα φάνε τον κόσμο, πάνε οι κόποι μου χαμένοι… Τι να κάμω;» Ολονύχτα δεν έκλεισε μάτι ο κακομοίρης, μα το πρωί, πετάχτηκε απάνω και χτύπησε τις χερούκλες του: «Βρήκα βρήκα» φώναξε. Έπιασε πάλι φωτιά και κοπριά, κι έφτιαξε έναν άλλο Ρωμιό, και ους έβαλε στο ταψί να παλέψουν. Άρχισε το πάλεμα. Τρικλοποδιά ο ένας, τρικλοποδιά κι ο άλλος. Μπηχτές ο ένας, μπηχτές κι ο άλλος. Μπαμπεσιά ο ένας, μπαμπεσιά κι ο άλλος… Πάλευαν, πάλευαν, έπεφταν, σηκώνουνταν, πάλευαν πάλι, ξανάπεφταν, ξανασηκώνουνταν, πάλευαν… Κι ακόμα παλεύουν! Κι έτσι ο κόσμος βρήκε την ησυχία του…!»”

“الانسان وحش كاسر...انه يفعل مايختار. انه يسلك الطريق الذي يختاره لنفسه. امامه بوابه الجحيم وبوابه الفردوس متلاصقين, وهو يدخل ايهما يختار.. الشيطان لايدخل سوى النار , والملاك لايدخل سوى الفردوس . اما الانسان فأنه يدخل أيا منهما حسب اختياره”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“ان الله لايتعجل ابدا.انه ساكن ,يرى المستقبل كأنه ماض, اذ انه يعمل في نطاق الابديه.المخلوقات الزائله التي لاتدري ماذا سيحدث غدا هي وحدها التي تتعجل بدافع من الخوف والقلق .دع الله يعمل في صمت , ولتكن مشيئته. لاترفع رأسك ولا تسأل. فكل سؤال خطيه”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“آدم يعني همين: يعني موجودي زنده اي كه پا مي شود و توضيح مي خواهد.”

“ما أغرب بنى البشر ، إنهم لا يعرفون أبداً ماذا يريدون”

“ئەگەر دڵی ئینسان لە عیشق یا نەفرەت لێوڕێژ نەبێ، دڵنیابە هیچ کارێ لەم جەهانەدا سەرناگرێ”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“اگر محمد ما و مسیح شما عرق خورده و مثل ما گیلاسهای خود را بهم زده بودند، هر دو با هم دوست صمیمی میشدند و در صدد برنمی آمدند که چشمهای یکدیگر را بکنند... ولی حیف که آنها عرق نمیخوردند و به همین جهت هر دو، دنیا را به خون کشیدند...”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“عجبا لهذا الوجود! إنه معجزة حقا! إذا فتحت عينى أري الجبال والسحاب والمطر يساقط، وإذا أغمضت عينى أري الله خالق الجبال والسحاب والمطر ... حيثما نول وجوهنا فثم وجه الله .... فى ضوء النهار أو فى عتمة الليل.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“المياة التي تظل راكدة زمنا طويلا لابد وأن تفسد، وكذلك الروح تفسد اذا عاشت في دعة وسكون زمنا طويلا، فيرسل الله الريح التي تثير العاصفة فتحرك صفحة الماء وتبعث فيها الحياة من جديد وتدب الحياة في النفوس الميتة من جديد.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Christ Recrucified
“وشرد القسيس بفكره يتأمل ثم قال:
يجب أن نهتدي إلى فتاة يتيمة ليس لها من يذود عنها في القرية حتى نتجنب الفضيحة لا أخشى غير الفضيحة يا أغا ولا شيء سواها .. أمهلني يا أغا”

“She put a hand on the huntress�’s shoulder and asked, �”Is everything as it should be?�”
There were tears in Kaisa’�s eyes, and they ran down her cheeks as she answered, �”Yes.�” Ash looked back at the carcass of the stag, and saw that the dogs were being held off now, and one of the men was approaching with his kit of knives to begin the butchering.
“Why do you do this if it affects you so?”� asked Ash.
Kaisa looked down at the ground and said, �”It is the way of life. It ends.”
― Malinda Lo, quote from Ash
“What I'm feeling, I think, is joy. And it's been some time since I've felt that blinkered rush of happiness, This might be one of those rare events that lasts, one that'll be remembered and recalled as months and years wind and ravel. One of those sweet, significant moments that leaves a footprint in your mind. A photograph couldn't ever tell its story. It's like something you have to live to understand. One of those freak collisions of fizzing meteors and looming celestial bodies and floating debris and one single beautiful red ball that bursts into your life and through your body like an enormous firework. Where things shift into focus for a moment, and everything makes sense. And it becomes one of those things inside you, a pearl among sludge, one of those big exaggerated memories you can invoke at any moment to peel away a little layer of how you felt, like a lick of ice cream. The flavor of grace.”
― Craig Silvey, quote from Jasper Jones
“Joy, not sorrow.
Laughter, not tears.
Life, not death.
Love, not blame.”

The HusbandBookQuoters 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.
