“I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous — a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“إن العالم ينفق كليّة طاقاته في مقولات الـ (نعم)و (لا) ضمن نقد ما فكر فيه غيره؛ أما هو فإنه لم يعد يفكر”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“I am no man, I am dynamite.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“وأنا لا أعرف قراءة مثيرة للوجع بالقدر الذي تثيره قراءة شكسبير: كم من الآلام ينبغي على المرء أن يكون قد تحمل كي ما يغدو في حاجة إلى أن يجعل نفسه سخيفاً إلى هذا الحد!-هل نفهم هملت؟ لا ليس الشك، بل اليقين هو الذي يقود إلى الجنون..”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“How much truth does a spirit endure, how much truth does it dare?”

― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“من بر تقدير خود واقفم: روزى نام من قرين خاطره ى امرى عظيم خواهد شد، خاطره ى بحرانى كه زمين مانندش را به خود نديده، ژرف ترين تصادم وجدان، اراده اى كه ظاهر شد تا بر هر آن چه تاكنون به باور درآمده، مطلوب انگاشته شده، و تقديس گشته بشورد.
من انسان نيستم، من ديناميتم!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“Water is sufficient...the spirit moves over water.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo

― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“عبارة "العقل الحر" لا يمكن أن تفهم هنا إلا بهذا المعنى: إنه عقل محرر قد استعاد تملكه بذاته”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“Resentment, born of weakness, harms no one more than the weak person himself.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“Another thing is war. I am naturally warlike. Attacking is one of my instincts. Being able to be an enemy, being an enemy — these require a strong nature, perhaps; in any case every strong nature presupposes them. It needs resistances, so it seeks
resistance: aggressive pathos is just as integrally necessary to strength as the feeling of revenge and reaction is to weakness. Woman, forinstance, is vengeful: that is a condition of her weakness, as is her sensitivity to other people’s afflictions. — The strength of anattacker can in a way be gauged by the opposition he requires; allgrowth makes itself manifest by searching out a more powerful opponent — or problem: for a philosopher who is warlike challenges problems to duels, too. The task is not to master all resistances, but only those against which one has to pit one’s entire strength, suppleness, and mastery-at-arms — opponents who are equal...”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“إن الألمان مثل النساء، لا نستطيع أن نتخيل أعماقهم فليست لهم أعماق. وهذا ينهي المسألة”

“إذ الإنسان يفضل أن يريد اللاشيء على لأن لا يريد شيئاً”

― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“Every acquisition, every step forward in knowledge is the result of courage, of severity toward oneself, of cleanliness with respect to oneself.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“Ultimately no one can hear in things―books included―more than he already knows. If you have no access to something from experience, you will have no ear for it.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“I would prefer to be a satyr rather than a saint.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“Pain is not seen as an objection to life: 'If you have no happiness left to give me, well then! you still have your pain...”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“إن المساواة مع العدو هى الشرط الأول لنزال شريف, وحيثما يوجد مجال للإحتقار لا يمكن للمرء أن يخوض حربا”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“إنسانيّتى هى تجاوز متواصل للذات, إلا إننى بحاجة للعزلة”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“It is not doubt but certainty that drives you mad...”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“إن إنسانيّتى لا تتمثل فى التعاطف مع الإنسان فى وجوده، بل فى أن أتحمل الشعور به إلى جانبى”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“I attack only things that are triumphant — if necessary, I wait until they become triumphant.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“To get up in the morning, in the fullness of youth, and open a book--now that’s what I call vicious!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo
“ابتداءً من تلك اللحظة ستغدو كتاباتي كلها صنارات صيد - لعل لي خبرة في الصيد أكثر من أي كان؟.. وإذا ما لم يكن هنالك من صيد قد حصل، فذلك ليس ذنبي. السمك هو الذي لا يوجد..”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, quote from Ecce Homo

“Someone once said that one measure of sentience was how much energy a sophont spent on matters other than survival. Fiben”
― David Brin, quote from The Uplift War
“I felt I could turn the earth upside down with my littlest finger. I wanted to dance, to fly in the air and kiss the sun and stars with my singing heart. I, alone with myself, was enjoying myself for the first time as with grandest company.”
― Anzia Yezierska, quote from Bread Givers
“Jesus’ teaching is not the product of human learning, of whatever kind. It originates from immediate contact with the Father, from “face-to-face” dialogue—from the vision of the one who rests close to the Father’s heart. It is the Son’s word. Without this inner grounding, his teaching would be pure presumption.”
― Pope Benedict XVI, quote from Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration
“Here’s the scene: The three of us are by the Olympic-sized pool. The Latina with the thick waist is hovering in the shade of the veranda up by the house, her eyes on Frank in case he might want something, but so far he doesn’t and he hasn’t offered anything to me. If he did, I would ask for sunblock because standing here next to his pool is like standing on the sun side of Mercury. Gotta be ninety-six and climbing. Behind us is a pool house larger than my home, and through the sliding glass doors I can see a pool table, wet bar, and paintings of vaqueros in the Mexican highlands. It is air-conditioned in there, but apparently Frank would rather sit out here in the nuclear heat. Statues of lions dot the landscape, as motionless as Joe Pike, who has not moved once in the three minutes that I have been there. Pike is wearing a gray sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off, faded Levi’s, and flat black pilot’s glasses, which is the way he dresses every day of his life. His dark brown hair is cut short, and bright red arrows were tattooed on the outside of his deltoids long before tattoos were au courant. Watching Joe stand there, he reminds me of the world’s largest two-legged pit bull.”
― Robert Crais, quote from L.A. Requiem
“SOULS are like wax waiting for a seal. By themselves they have no special identity. Their destiny is to be softened and prepared in this life, by God’s will, to receive, at their death, the seal of their own degree of likeness to God in Christ. And this is what it means, among other things, to be judged by Christ. The wax that has melted in God’s will can easily receive the stamp of its identity, the truth of what it was meant to be. But the wax that is hard and dry and brittle and without love will not take the seal: for the hard seal, descending upon it, grinds it to powder. Therefore if you spend your life trying to escape from the heat of the fire that is meant to soften and prepare you to become your true self, and if you try to keep your substance from melting in the fire—as if your true identity were to be hard wax—the seal will fall upon you at last and crush you. You will not be able to take your own true name and countenance, and you will be destroyed by the event that was meant to be your fulfillment.”

All My Puny SorrowsBookQuoters 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.
