“A thousand times today I've started to open my mouth, started to squeak out, "Can you tell me...? But then I'd look into the front seat, at my mother's silent shaking, my father's grim profile, the mournful bags under his eyes, and all the questions I might ask seemed abusive. Assault and battery, a question mark used like a club. My parents are old and fragile. I'd have to heartless to want to hurt them.”
― Margaret Peterson Haddix, quote from Double Identity
“تساءلت عن الحافز الذى دفع الامريكيين لمقاومة الاستعمار البريطانى وعن ارادة تجاوزت الحدود لقد كان كثير من زعماء الثورة على ثراء كبير فما الذى دفعهم للمخاطرة باعمالهم وتجارتهم وعض الايدى التى تطعمهم ؟ والمخاطرة بحياتهم ؟ لاشك كان لدى كل منهم اسبابه الخاصة لكن لابد وان قوة جماعية وقفت وراءهم وقدر من الطاقة والحافز وشرارة اذكت الطاقات الفردية فى تلك اللحظة الفريدة من التاريخ
ثم ادركت كنه تلك المحفزات : انها الكلمات
اشعل تلك الشرارة سرد القصة الحقيقية للامبراطورية ونظامها التجارى الانانى والمدمر لذاته فى نهاية المطاف واشعل فضح المعنى الخفى عبر كلمات رجال مثل توم بين وتوماس جيفرسون خيال المواطنين وفتح قلوبهم وعقولهم وبدأ سكان المستعمرات البريطانية فى امريكا فى التساؤل عن السبب وحين فعلوا ذلك اكتشفوا حقيقة جديدة قطعت الطريق على اساليب الخداع والكذب لقد ادركوا الحقيقة الكامنة وراء المظهر الخارجى وفهموا طريقة الامبراطورية البريطانية فى استغلالهم وخداعهم واستعبادهم
ادركوا ان سادتهم الانجليز شكلوا نظاما ثم تمكنوا من اقناع معظم الناس كذبا بان ذلك افضل نظام يمكن للبشرية ان تصل اليه وان بلوغ عالم افضل مرهون بوضع كافة الموارد تحت تصرف ملك انجلترا وان منهج الامبراطورية فى التجارة والسياسة هو الاكثر فعالية وهو الاسلوب الانسانى لمساعدة الاغلبية الكاسحة من البشر بينما كانت الحقيقة تكمن فى ان ذلك النظام لايثرى سوى الاقلية على حساب الاغلبية لقد صمدت هذه الكذبة وما نجم عنها من استغلال وامتدت عقودا من الزمن حتى بدأت ثلة من الفلاسفة ورجال الاعمال والفلاحين والصيادين والمرابطين على الحدود والكتاب والوعاظ يتحدثون عن الحقيقة .”

The AlchemystBookQuoters 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.
