Quotes from Gadiantons and the Silver Sword

“There are only two forces at work in this world- black and white. Only people are grey.”
― Chris Heimerdinger, quote from Gadiantons and the Silver Sword

“...Teachings are given to different men under different circumstances and in different times... [but] ...the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. If a parent commands a little child not to play with matches, and then commands a teenager to light the campfire, is this a contradiction? It's only a question of preparedness - one is ready and one is not.”
― Chris Heimerdinger, quote from Gadiantons and the Silver Sword

“... We [can't] escape the influence of sin in the world, but [do] we have to pay money to see and hear it firsthand?”
― Chris Heimerdinger, quote from Gadiantons and the Silver Sword

Popular quotes

“You love me?” …
“Yes. More than life.”
― Abbi Glines, quote from Twisted Perfection

“Everything seemed to stand out with a special dearness, and although I never could have said that out loud I didn't think it mattered - maybe that sense of dearness was something I wanted just for myself.”
― Stephen King, quote from The Body

“He was flabbergasted. That was the best word. His flabber had been thoroughly gasted.”
― Cora Carmack, quote from Losing It

“Мария тоже слегка побледнела, но ей импонируют интеллектуалы - от этого я так и не смог ее отучить; интеллект Кинкеля импонировал также будущей госпоже Фредебейль: словесную обработку, которой ее подвергли, она сопровождала вздохами, на мой взгляд почти неприличными. Поистине, на бедняжку обрушился целый интеллектуальный смерч, в ход было пущено все - от отцов церкви до Брехта, и, когда я, отдышавшись немного, пришел с балкона, они впали в состояние полной прострации и пили крюшон... и все это только потому, что бедная простушка похвалила "неплохие рассказики" Бенна.

Сейчас у нее уже двое детей от Фредебейля, хотя ей еще нет двадцати двух; телефонные звонки все еще раздавались в их квартире, и я представил себе, что в эту минуту она возится с молочными бутылочками, детскими присыпками, пеленками и вазелином, донельзя беспомощная и сконфуженная, и еще я подумал о ворохе грязного детского белья и о груде жирной немытой посуды на кухне. Однажды, когда они доконали меня своими разговорами, я вызвался помочь ей по хозяйству - подсушивать хлеб, делать бутерброды и варить кофе; исполнять такую работу мне куда менее противно, чем участвовать в беседах определенного свойства.”
― Heinrich Böll, quote from The Clown

“Très vite dans ma vie il a été trop tard. A dix-huit ans il était déjà trop tard. Entre dix-huit ans et vingt-cinq ans mon visage est parti dans une direction imprévue. A dix-huit ans j’ai vieilli.”
― Marguerite Duras, quote from The Lover

About BookQuoters

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.
