You’ve been properly pilled,
Then a few paper forms
Must be properly filled
So that you and your heirs
May be properly billed.”

“This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their country!" he said.
"We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!”

“O alegre e claro espelho de minha alma era muitas vezes embaçado por uma espécie de melancolia mas, por ora, não havia sido seriamente danificado. Ela aparecia de tempos em tempos, durante um dia ou uma noite, como uma tristeza sonhadora e solitária; desaparecia depois sem deixar traços, voltando após algumas semanas ou meses. Aos poucos fui me habituando a ela, como a uma amiga e confidente, não a recebendo como um tormento, mas como um cansaço inquieto, que não deixava de ter seu encanto. Quando ela me surpreendia de noite eu ficava, em vez de dormir, horas inteiras à janela, olhava o lago mergulhado na escuridão, as silhuetas das montanhas desenhadas no palor do céu e bem no alto, as belas estrelas. Então apossava-se de mim com frequência um sentimento doce e vigoroso, como se eu fosse contemplado por toda aquela formosura da noite, com uma justa censura. Como se estrelas, montanhas e lagos aspirassem por alguém que compreendesse sua beleza e o sofrimento da sua natureza calada e a expressasse, como se eu fosse aquele ser e como se fosse essa a minha verdadeira missão. a de dar, em poesias, uma expressão à natureza muda. De que maneira isso seria possível não sei, jamais pensei nisso, apenas sentia que a bela e severa noite esperava por mim, impaciente, numa ânsia silente. (p. 42)”

“The pineal gland is supposed to secrete an oil, which is called resin, the life of the pine tree. This word [resin] is supposed to be involved in the origin of the Rosicrucians, who were working with the secretions of the pineal gland and seeking to open the eye single; for it is said in scripture: “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single thy whole body shall be filled with light.” . . .

Wall and PieceBookQuoters 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.
