“The instances of honesty that one comes across in this world are just as amazing as the instances of dishonesty. After forty-five years of mixing with one's kind, one ought to have acquired the habit of being able to know something about one's fellow beings. But one doesn't”

“You are ours and he should have known not to touch you."
"I'm yours? I thought you hated me."
Kit stepped out of the bathroom. "We don't hate you. You're our pet."
"Kit!" Rusty shook her head. "Don't say that. You'll offend her."
Kit shrugged "She is. She's so little and cute. She yaps around trying to please like... What are they called? A Yorkie?"
Rusty sighed. "We decided she's more similar to a cute little poodle with her long blonde hair." She flashed a smile at Ellie. "Don't take it offensively please. We enjoy having you around and you amuse us to no end.”

“… Кучето ми бе успяло да се върне, бяха му простреляли дробовете, но донесе покупките, успях и да го погаля, успях да му дам и бучка захар за похвала и награда, но то не я взе, сложи глава в скута ми и така бавно гаснеше, зад мен скланяше над нас глава кончето, поемаше с ноздри миризмата на кучето, дойде и козата, и котката, която спеше заедно с кучето, но мен така и не остави да я погаля, въпреки че, така отдалече, тя май ме обичаше най-много, когато й говорех, лягаше по гръб, гънеше се и се извиваше, и отправяше към мен лапички и погледи, все едно че я милвах под гушката или по кожухчето й, но протегнех ли към нея ръка, всеки път силата на плахостта я изстрелваше далеч от досега на пръстите ми… дойде котката и се сгуши, както бе свикнала, в козината на овчарката, аз протегнах към нея длан, но тя се беше загледала в гаснещите очи на кучето, и аз я погалих, тя ме изгледа, давайки ми да разбера, че за нея това е отвратително и че го е преодоляла само заради смъртта на приятеля си, затова предпочете да затвори очи и да пъхне глава в козината на кучето, за да не гледа това, от което изпитваше ужас и за което инак копнееше.”
― Bohumil Hrabal, quote from I Served the King of England
“Ah! but a man cannot be held to write down in cold blood the wild and black thoughts that storm his brain when an uncontrolled passion has battered a breach for them. Yet, unless he sets up as a saint, he need not hate himself for them. He is better employed, as it humbly seems to me, in giving thanks that power to resist was given to him ....”

The Magician's Assis...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.
