“It doesn't matter where you're from - or how you feel... There's always peace in a strong cup of coffee.”
“Life is like a book son. And every book has an end. No matter how much you like that book you will get to the last page and it will end. No book is complete without its end. And once you get there, only when you read the last words, will you see how good the book is.”
“And sometimes we die to prove that we lived.”
“She was the most beautiful creature on Earth - her hair said so in that language only hair can speak.”
“My dreams tell me who I am.”
“Each day, we feel more distant from each other, more alone, all while being surrounded by millions. Each day we watch as our city turns into a desert, one in which we are all lost, looking for that oasis we like to call “love”. The more we wait, the more everything and everyone looks like a grain of sand escaping between our fingers before vanishing into the wind. How do we find something or someone we can no longer see, but which is right there before us? And how do we hold on to what is most precious in life?”
“It takes sometime and a lot of looking around but you eventually find that your home is alot more just the house you live in.”
“It takes time and a lot of looking around, but you eventually find that your home is a lot more than just the house you live in. Brás had all the time in the world to figure that out. He discovered your country can be your home, or a city, or just that particular neighborhood. Sometimes your life changes--you change--and your home moves to a different place. Brás realized that home is not a physical place at all, but a group of elements like the people you live with--a feeling, a state of mind. He feels safer just knowing that even if he's away... there is a home... waiting for him to return. It's where he can rest. Where he finds peace.”
“Isn’t it strange how we always seem to remember the trivial things from our daily lives... yet we so often forget the most important ones?”
“The more we wait, the more everything and everyone looks like a grain of sand escaping between our fingers before vanishing into the wind.”
“People die every day. That was the most comforting thought Brás had while all the obituaries he wrote at the newspaper flashed before him. He just realized that, even when he’s not writing about it, people will keep dying. Isn’t it funny how easily forget about work the moment they leave for the day? Isn’t it strange how we always seem to remember the trivial things from our daily lives, yet we so often forget the most important ones?”
“If you travel too fast, all you're gonna see is a blur and you'll never really meet anyone interesting.”
“… that’s what friends do. They care. They find each other and stick together when things get rough. Friends are worth the effort.”
“You are my home, my heart, my love. Good night.”
“He feels safer just knowing that even if he's away there is a home waiting for him to return.”
“So, what do you do for a living?'
'Why do you ask?'
'I don't know. I just met you and I'd like to know you better. Who you are, what you want -- your dreams.'
'My job won't tell you who I am. And especially not what I want.”
“How do we find something or someone we can no longer see, but which is right there before us?”
“It takes some time and a lot of looking around, but you eventually find that your home is a lot more than just the
house you live in.”
“A vida é como um livro, filho. E todo livro tem um fim. Não importa o quanto você goste do livro você vai chegar na última página e ele vai terminar. Nenhum livro é completo sem o fim. E quando você chega lá somente quando você lê as últimas palavras é que você vê como o livro é bom. Ele parece mais real.”
“Even when he was awake, he would carry his dreams with him. They reminded him of who he is and what he wanted out of life. His dreams would tell him what to do, how to navigate in this world.”
“I wake up and fall in love with you like that day at the bakery”
“You are on this boat floating on an endless ocean. These baskets contain wishes, desires...forces that drive your will to move forward. However, if you stay here just staring at them...sooner or later...they're all going to sink.”
“Alaric, go after her. Since Daniel forced the blood bond on her, Quinn has been different. Lost. She deserves better than for you to abandon her and, priest or no, you know it.”
“it was nearly dawn, and the hill was white with snow. She was covered with a thick blanket of bees, and the snow lay upon them in bright broken spangles. She sat up in distress— bees cannot survive hard cold outside their hives— but they seemed to shake themselves...”
“Медленный переход осени к зиме вовсе не плохая пора . Это пора , когда нужно собрать, привести в порядок и сложить все свои запасы , которые ты накопил за лето .
А как прекрасно собирать все , что есть у тебя , и складывать поближе к себе, собрать свое тепло и свои мысли, зарыться в глубокую норку — уверенное и надежное укрытие; защищать его как нечто важное, дорогое, твое собственное. А после пусть мороз, бури и мрак приходят, когда им вздумается. Они будут обшаривать стены, искать лазейку, но ничего у них не получится, все кругом заперто, а внутри, в тепле и одиночестве, сидит себе и смеется тот, кто загодя обо всем позаботился. Есть на свете те, кто остается, и те, кто собирается в путь.
И так было всегда. Каждый волен выбирать, покуда есть время, но после, сделав выбор, нельзя от него отступаться.”
“You are everything I've ever wanted, Sam. More than music. More than anything.”
“It was never an option. Love never fails, Mila. And I'll never fail you again. That's a promise.”
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.
