“… и като закрих лицето си с ръце, за да се спася неизвестно от какво, наддадох адски вик. Вик, който сигурно съм носила в себе си, и с този вик, толкова широк, че едвам мина през гърлото ми, от устата ми излезе едно съвсем малко нещо, почти нищо, като хлебарка, направена от слюнка… и това малко нещо, почти нищо, което беше живяло толкова време вътре в мен, беше моята младост, която излетя с този вик, който не ми беше ясно какво е… Безпомощност? Някой докосна ръката ми, обърнах се , без да се стряскам, един стар човек ме попита дали съм болна и чух, че отварят балконска врата. Не се ли чувствате добре? Приближи се една старица и старецът и старицата застанаха пред мен, а на балкона имаше някаква бяла сянка. Мина ми – отвърнах. Дойдоха още хора, идваха бавно, като дневната светлина, казах им, че ми е минало, няма нищо, това са нерви, нищо, никаква опасност… И отново тръгнах да вървя, да се връщам назад. Старецът и старицата, обърнах се да ги видя, бяха останали на същото място и ме следваха с очи и на слабата светлина, която вече се беше появила, изглеждаха недействителни… Благодаря. Благодаря. Благодаря. Антони години наред ми благодареше, а аз никога не съм му благодарила за нищо, Благодаря… На ръба на тротоара на улица „Гран“ погледнах нагоре и надолу дали не идват трамваи и пресякох тичешком, а когато стигнах на отсрещната страна, пак се обърнах да видя дали ме следва онова малко нещо, почти нищо, което така ме бе подлудило.Вървях сама…”

“Everything is something worth considering - even if it's eventually ruled out" -Simon”
― Tricia Rayburn, quote from Siren
“It's more than the color.' He lifts my chin a little and our eyes reconnect. 'They have a dark line around the edge of the iris, a thing of natural beauty that brings your eyes to life. And they are intense; they shine like they're reflecting the light of a thousand stars, and they reflec...t me, too, and they make me want to be everything to you. And when you get angry, they dance a little, and every time it weakens my heart and makes me smile.”
― David Cristofano, quote from The Girl She Used to Be
“-çünkü eğer kadın gerçeği söylemeye başlarsa aynadaki görüntü büzülür; erkek hayata uyum sağlayamaz olur.”

The Marriage of Heav...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.
