“المعرفة والحرية هبتان استخدمتهما أنتِ يا حواء أول مرة، وعلى ذريتك أن تتعلم استخدامهما.”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve
“- ماذا وراء الجنة؟ لماذا نحن هنا؟
- من أجل ماذا تودين معرفة ذلك؟ لديكِ كل ماتحتاجينه.
- ولماذا لا يجب أن أود معرفته؟ ما المانع من أن أعرفه؟
- الأفضل أن تبقيا هادئين. المعرفة تولّد القلق والتمرد. تجعل المرء يرفض قبول الأشياء كما هي ويسعى لتغييرها.”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve
“ومنكمشة على نفسها ، مرت الأيام وهي نائمة ، كأن الأحلام هي الواقع الوحيد الذي يغويها .”

“هل يكمن الخير والشر في كل ما يحيط بهما؟ تساءلت .
ارتعشت لما مدت يدها لتلمس زهرة برية زرقاء و كاملة . بها اشواك ! لم تتخيل ابدا أن من الممكن ان تجرحها زهرة .”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve
“إذا كانت الأسئلة تخطر لي، فلابد لها من أجوبة.”

“- يجب أن أستخدم حريتي. أن آكل الثمرة.
- ستموتين.
- لن أموت. إنه يتمنى أن آكل الثمرة. لهذا جعلني حرّة.
- بإمكانك أن تقرري عدم الأكل.
- لا. سيكون ذلك أسهل. وليس ممكناً الآن. فأنا أحتاج إلى المعرفة.
- ألا تخافين؟
- لا أخاف. لقد شاهدت أشياء كثيرة. لماذا شاهدتها إن لم يكن لإدراكها والمجازفة من أجل وجودها؟
- ربما لتقبلي بعدم قدرتك على إدراك كل شيء.”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve
“جلس الرجل على حجر ليشعر بالسعادة ويتأمل كل شيء، بعد أن فعل كل ما يُفترض فعله فكّر أن السعادة طويلة ومرهقة قليلاً. لم يستطع لمسها ولم يجد وظيفة ليديه.
لم يكن يحتاج إلى شيء ولا شيء كان يبدو في حاجة إليه. فشعر أنه وحيد.”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve
“أنت كنت بداخل الرجل . حفظك إلوكيم في أحد أضلعه ؛ لا في رأسه ، حتى لا تكتشفي تكبره ، ولا في قلبه ، كيلا تشعري برغبة التملك”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve

“يبدو الرجال -بلاشك- أكثر قابلية للإثارة. فالجمال في حد ذاته يخاطب أجسادهم.
كيف نفهم آن الجمال يقلقهم بهذه الطريقة بدلاً من أن يرسخ لديهم الرغبة في الإحتفاء به؟”
― Gioconda Belli, quote from Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand: A Novel of Adam and Eve

“The ultimate sexist put-down: the prick which lies down on the job. The ultimate weapon in the war between the sexes: the limp prick. The banner of the enemy's encampment: the prick at half-mast. The symbol of the apocalypse: the atomic warhead prick which self-destructs. That was the basic inequity which could never be righted: not that the male had a wonderful added attraction called a penis, but that the female had a wonderful all-weather cunt. Neither storm nor sleet nor dark of night could faze it. It was always there, always ready. Quite terrifying, when you think about it. No wonder men hated women. No wonder they invented the myth of female inadequacy.”
― Erica Jong, quote from Fear of Flying
“I’m making a list. And checking it twice.”

DamagedBookQuoters 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.
