“Човек си строи големи истории, това е истината, и може да им вярва с години, няма значение колко безумни са, и неправдоподобни, носи ги в себе си и толкова. И е щастлив дори, с такива неща. Щастлив. И би могло да не свършва никога.
Но ето че един ден се случва така, че нещо се счупва в сърцето на голямото фантастично построение, так, без никаква причина, счупва се внезапно, и ти стоиш и не разбираш как така цялата тази приказна история вече не е в теб, а пред теб, сякаш е лудостта на някой друг, а този друг си ти. Так. Понякога стига едно нищо. Дори само въпрос, който изплува. Това стига.”
― Alessandro Baricco, quote from Ocean Sea

"What adjective do you feel the most longing for?"
That was easy. "I will admit I have a soft spot for fanciful."
"Let's say I have a hundred million dollars and offer it to you. The only condition is that if you take it, a man in China will fall off his bicycle and die. What do you do?"
"I don't understand why it matters whether he's in China or not. And of course I wouldn't take the money."
The old woman nodded.

About BookQuoters

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 2018, 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.
