Quotes from Hard Love

“Ours was a hard love. We'd fallen hard into it, and we'd fought hard to keep it. Our kind of love didn't ask nicely. It took. It ravaged. It consumed the heart whole and asked questions later. The rewards were soul-deep and all-consuming, sweeping through like a wildfire.”
― Meredith Wild, quote from Hard Love

― Meredith Wild, quote from Hard Love

“We were all too human then, the vast ocean surrounding us and the tiny island we inhabited. We were two small beating hearts in this world, yet what we sought now seemed enormous. What we wanted and what could be created between us, a spark of life, so small and fragile, was too overwhelming to fully comprehend. My heart beat heavily in my chest with the weight of what we were trying for.”
― Meredith Wild, quote from Hard Love

― Meredith Wild, quote from Hard Love

“Barbarian Horde
This will be lot and lots of wild-screaming people advancing under a cloud of dust in order to devestate more civilized parts. They are a bit like locusts, except that they kill people direcly.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, quote from The Tough Guide to Fantasyland

“...знаеше още от началото, че го лъжат, за да му направят удоволствие, че вземат пари, за да го ласкаят, че задържат със силата на оръжието множеството, което се събираше по пътя му с ликуващи викове и измамни плакати за дълъг живот на великолепния, който е по-стар от възрастта си, но той се научи да живее с тези и всички други мизерии на славата, и докато минаваха безбройните му години, разбра, че лъжата е по-удобна от съмнението, по-полезна от любовта, по-трайна от истината, беше стигнал без учудване до безчестната фикция да управлява без власт, да бъде превъзнасян без слава и да бъде слушан без авторитет, когато в потока от жълти листа на своята есен се убеди, че никога няма да бъде господар на всичката си власт, че е осъден да не познава живота освен от обратната му страна, осъден да отгатва шевовете и да коригира нишките на сюжета и възлите от основата на гоблена от илюзии на действителността, без дори да подозира, дори и много по-късно, че единственият истински живот е този, да покажем, този, който ние виждахме от другата страна, която не е вашата, господин генерал, тази страна на беднотията, където беше потокът от жълти листа на нашите безбройни години на нещастия и на нашите неуловими мигове на щастие, където любовта беше заразена от зародишите на смъртта, но беше истинска любов, господин генерал, където вие самият бяхте само едно несигурно видение на едни жалки очи и през прашните завески на прозорците на един влак бяхте едва доловимо потръпване на едни мълчаливи устни, мимолетен поздрав с атлазената ръкавица на ничията ръка на някакъв старец без съдба, за когото никога не разбрахме кой е, нито как изглежда, нито дали не е някаква измама на въображението, тиранин на шега, който никога не е знаел кое е лицето и кое опакото на този живот, който ние обичаме с ненаситна страст, който вие дори не се осмелихте да си представите, от страх да не разберете това, което на нас ни беше пределно ясно, че е тежък и мимолетен, но няма друг, генерале, защото ние знаехме кои сме, а той не го разбра, остана си завинаги със свирещата болка на хернията си на стар мъртвец, изтръгнат из корен от удара на смъртта, литнал сред мрачния шумол на последните ледени листа на своята есен към мрачното отечество на пълната забрава, вкопчил се от страх за парцаливия и прогнил плащ на смъртта и чужд на виковете на побеснялата тълпа, която излизаше на улицата и пееше възторжени химни на радостната новина за неговата смърт, и завинаги чужд на музиката за освобождение и ликуващите фойерверки и празничните камбани, които възвестиха на света добрата новина, че неизброимото време на вечността най-после беше завършило.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from The Autumn of the Patriarch

“Perhaps you think too hard about what words you're going to use and how to make your mouth say them.”
― Ali Shaw, quote from The Girl With Glass Feet

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
― Tamera Alexander, quote from Rekindled

“To just be--to be--amidst all doings, achievings, and becomings. This is the natural state of mind, or original, most fundamental state of being. This is unadulterated Buddha-nature. This is like finding our balance.”
― Lama Surya Das, quote from Awakening the Buddha Within

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.
