“– Мисля, че аз най-добре мога да преценя какво им е нужно.
- Не – каза Жакмор. – Те най-добре могат да преценят.
- Това е абсурдно – отсече Клемантин. – Тези деца са изложени на постоянни рискове, както, между другото, и всички деца.
- Те имат средства за защита, каквито вие нямате – каза Жакмор.
- В края на краищата вие не ги обичате така, както ги обичам аз и не изпитвате това, което изпитвам аз.
Жакмор замълча за миг.
- Много естествено – каза накрая той. – Как бих могъл да ги обичам по този начин?
- Само една майка може да разбере това – рече Клемантин.
- Но птиците умират в клетка – каза Жакмор.
- Много добре си живеят – отвърна Клемантин – Това е дори единственото място, където човек може прилично да се грижи за тях.
- Добре – каза Жакмор. – Виждам, че не може нищо да се направи.
Той стана.
- Трябва да се сбогувам с вас. Сигурно повече няма да се видим.
- Когато свикнат – рече тя, - може би ще мога да се отбивам от време на време в селото. Всъщност изобщо не разбирам вашите възражения, след като и вие в крайна сметка ще се затворите по същия начин.
- Но аз не затварям другите – отвърна Жакмор.
- Моите деца и аз сме едно цяло – каза Клемантин. – Аз толкова ги обичам.
- Имате странно разбиране за света.
- Същото мислех и за вас. В моето няма нищо странно. Светът това са те.
- Не, не, вие бъркате. Вие искате да бъдете техният свят! И в този смисъл разбирането ви е унищожително.

Той стана и излезе от стаята. Клемантин го проследи с поглед. Не изглежда щастлив, си помисли я. Сигурно майка му му е липсвала.”
― Boris Vian, quote from Heartsnatcher

“I did a research assignment on life in the Middle Ages only last year. I found the era fascinating, all that chivalry and court romance. But I never pictured anything as poor as this village. This is the pits. There's no romance here, definitely no chivary. And it stinks--of sweat and smoke and sewage.”
― Marianne Curley, quote from Old Magic

“It was like Mama was lost in the desert and had gotten so thirsty that she was willing to see anything that might make her feel better about being lost.”
― Wiley Cash, quote from A Land More Kind Than Home

“People only see in us the contemptible skirt-fever which rules our actions but completely miss the beauty-hunger underlying it.”
― Lawrence Durrell, quote from Justine

“OK, listen, this is what we’re going to do,” Rami said at last. “You’re going to come downstairs, get into the car with me and we’re going to drive back to Watford.”
Flynn lifted his head. “No!” he began to protest.
“Actually, Flynn, this is not open to discussion. If you won’t come back with me, I’ll have to take you to hospital.”
“I’m not going to hospital,” he said desperately. “You can’t make me! Just let go of me, just leave me alone”! He tried to pull away, but his arms felt weak.
“Flynn, if we call an ambulance, they’ll section you.”
“Why? They can’t do that! They can’t!”
“They can and they will because right now you’re a danger to yourself.”
Flynn put his forehead back on his knees and bit his thumb hard. He just wished he could go back in time to before the argument, before the dinner, before Rami’s phone call, before this morning’s practice. How could the events of one day have ended in this?
“Don’t call an ambulance,” he whispered.
“Are you going to come back to Watford with me?”
He nodded. Defeated.”
― Tabitha Suzuma, quote from A Note of Madness

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.
