“Trick, yes, trick.' The boys were catching fire with the idea. It made all the good glue go out of their joints and put a little dust of sin in their blood. They felt it stir around until it pumped on up to light their eyes and stretch their lips to show their happy-dog teeth. 'Yeah, sure”

“رأيت نفسي حكيماً عظيماً في القدس. استطعت أن أشفي من أمراض عديدة مختلفة لكنني قبل كل شيء استطعت أن أخرج الشياطين من الممسوسين. صار الناس يجلبون إلي المرضى من كافة أنحاء فلسطين. وذات يوم وصلت مريم، زوجة يوسف، من الناصرة ومعها ابنها يسوع البالغ من العمر اثني عشر عاماً. وقعت على قدمي وصرخت باكية "أيها الحكيم الشهير اشفق علي واشف ابني . في داخله العديد من الشياطين" طلبت من الأبوين أن يخرجا وظللت وحيداً مع يسوع. ربت على كتفه وسألته: "ما الأمر يا بني؟ أين تشكو الألم؟" فأجاب وهو يشير إلى قلبه :"هنا.هنا"
-وماذا أصابك؟
-لا أستطيع النوم أو الأكل أو العمل. إنني أجوب الشوارع وأنا أتصارع.
- ومع من تتصارع؟
- مع الله. مع من غيره تتوقع مني أن أتصارع؟
أبقيته قربي شهراً. كلمته بلطف دائم. وأعطيته أعشاباً تنومه. وضعته في حانوت نجار لكي يتعلم صنعة. وكنا نخرج نتمشى معاً فأكلمه عن الله وكأن الله صديق أو جار يأتي إلينا في المساء ويجلس معنا على عتبة بيتنا لنتحدث. لم يكن هناك شيء صعب أو مؤثر في أحاديثنا. كنا نتحدث عن الطقس وحقول القمح وكروم العنب والفتيات اللواتي يذهبن إلى النبع. وفي نهاية الشهر شفي يسوع تماماً. لم يعد يتصارع مع الله . صار رجلاً مثل غيره من البشر. ورحل غلى الجليل ثم علمت فيما بعد أنه صار نجاراً عظيماً. أفضل نجار في الناصرة.
ونظر الراهب إلي ثم سألني: "هل تفهم؟ يسوع قد شفي وبدلاً من أن ينقذ العالم صار أفضل نجار في الناصرة. فما معنى المرض والعافية إذن؟”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, quote from Report to Greco

The Fuck-UpBookQuoters 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.
