“Ако някой ме попита какво ме прави истински щастлива, ще отговоря: числата. Снегът, ледът и числата.
... системата на числата е като човешкият живот. Първо са естествените числа. Те са цели положителни. Числата на малките деца. Но човешкото съзнание се разширява. Детето открива тъгата, а знаеш ли какъв е математическият израз на тъгата?
Отрицателните числа. Усещането за нещо липсващо. Съзнанието се разширява безспирно и расте и детето открива празнините. Между камъните, между мъха по камъните, между хората. И между числата. И знаеш ли накъде води това?Към дробите. Целите числа плюс дробите дават рационалните числа. Но съзнанието не спира дотук. То иска да стигне отвъд здравия разум. Прибягва до толкова абсурдното действие като извличане на корен.
И получава ирационалните числа...
...Това е вид лудост. Защото ирационалните числа са безкрайни. Не може да се изпишат като отношение на цели числа. Те принуждават съзнанието да се стреми към безграничното. А прибавиш ли ирационалните числа към рационалните, получаваш реалните числа. И няма край. Няма никакви граници. Защото на сцената излиза разширяването на реалните числа с имагинерните, квадратните корени на отрицателните числа. Числа,които не можем да си представим, числа, които нормалното съзнание не може да обхване. А щом прибавим имагинерните числа към реалните, получаваме комплексните числа. Това е цифровата система, която прави възможно пълното изследване на формирането на ледените кристали. И е като огромна открита територия. Хоризонтите. Човек върви към тях, а те непрекъснато се отдалечават.
Такава е Гренландия, това е, без което не мога да живея!”
― Peter Høeg, quote from Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow
“Recent brain scans have shed light on how the brain simulates the future. These simulation are done mainly in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the CEO of the brain, using memories of the past. On one hand, simulations of the future may produce outcomes that are desirable and pleasurable, in which case the pleasure centers of the brain light up (in the nucleus accumbens and the hypothalamus). On the other hand, these outcomes may also have a downside to them, so the orbitofrontal cortex kicks in to warn us of possible dancers. There is a struggle, then, between different parts of the brain concerning the future, which may have desirable and undesirable outcomes. Ultimately it is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex that mediates between these and makes the final decisions. (Some neurologists have pointed out that this struggle resembles, in a crude way, the dynamics between Freud's ego, id, and superego.)”

“Ginny Davis—poor, dead Ginny—had lent Connie a set of yoga DVDs that looked like they’d come from the ancient 1990s.”

“The world was not perfect. It was dark, evil, and full of monsters in human disguise. The world's a horrible place, ad you were no safer surrounded by family than you were wandering the streets alone.”

The Merchant of Deat...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.
