“You just were so cold with me. And the nurse’s outfit didn’t seem to make any kind of impression.
Whatsoever. So I thought . . .’ I looked at the ground. ‘I thought you were only staying because you had promised me and then . . . when I asked you,
you didn’t deny it.’
‘You didn’t give me a chance to,’ he said, shaking his head at me. He took a step nearer. ‘And believe me the nurse’s outfit made an
impression.’ He took another step towards me, so he was just a few centimetres away. ‘A very big impression.”
― Sarah Alderson, quote from Losing Lila
“يقول مثل قديم مأخوذ من العالم الخارجي المرئي "لن ينال الخبز إلا الرجل الكادح" والغريب أن هذا المثل لا ينطبق بصدق في ذلك العالم الذي ينتمي إليه بجلاء ذلك أن عالم الظاهر خاضع لقانون النقص-وفيه تتكرر حيناً بعد آخر تلك التجربة التي نرى فيها أن من لا يعمل يحصل أيضاً على الخبز-بل إن من ينام يحصل عليه بوفرة أكثر من الرجل الكادح،فهذا العالم اسير لقانون عدم الاكتراث(أو قانون استواء الطرفين)-أما في عالم الروح فالأمر جد مختلف-فهنا يسود النظام الإلهي الأبدي-وهنا لا تمطر السماء على العادل والظالم سواء-وهنا لا تشرق الشمس على الطيب والشرير معاً-وهنا ينطبق ذلك المثل-من يعمل هو وحده الذي يحصل على الخبز-ومن لا يعمل لا يحصل على الخبز بل يبقى مخدوعاً-وأن من يحيا في القلق وحده الذي يجد الراحة-وأن من يشهر السكين هو وحده الذي ينقذ اسحق”

Freedom from the Kno...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.
