Back on a plane.
Back home.
Back to him.

“When an idea occurs to you and you feel eagerness about it, that means that your Inner Being is a vibrational match to the idea, and your positive emotion is an indication that the vibration of your thought in this moment matches that of your Inner Being. That is, in fact, what inspiration is: You are, in the moment, a perfect vibrational match to the broader perspective of your Inner Being, and because of that alignment, you are now receiving clear communication, or Guidance, from your Inner Being.”

“ОФИЦИАЛНО ПИСМО
Имам честта да Ви уведомя за следните факти, на които ми се удаде възможността да бъда колкото безпристрастен, толкова и потресен свидетел.
На днешния ден, около обед, аз се намирах на платформата на един автобус, който се движеше по улица Курсел към площад Шампере. Споменатият автобус беше пълен – даже повече от пълен, бих казал, предвид, че кондукторът бе превишил правата си, подтикван от прекомерно добродушие, което впоследствие прерасна в снизходителност. На всяка спирка напиращите пътници, които слизаха и се качваха, не пропускаха случая да предизвикат известна блъсканица, която принуди един от присъстващите да възроптае, макар и не без боязън. Длъжен съм обаче да отбележа, че той отиде да седне при първа възможност.
В същия ред на мисли бих искал да прибавя към този кратък разказ следното: по стечение на обстоятелствата впоследствие забелязах въпросния пътник в компанията на една личност, която не успях да идентифицирам; разговорът, който водеха оживено, явно засягаше въпроси от естетически характер.
Имайки предвид тези обстоятелства, Ви умолявам, господине, да бъдете така добър и да ми посочите изводите, които следва да извлека от случилото се, както и поведението, към което да се придържам в по-нататъшния си живот.
В очакване на Вашия отговор Ви моля, господине, да приемете моите най-искрени почитания.”

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.
