“عبثاً سيحاول النهوض، الصياح بصوته المتخاذل ،أن يلطم داخل التابوت المظلم الضيق لكي يعرفوا أنه لا يزال حياً وآنهم بسبيلهم لدفنه وهو على قيد الحياة. سيكون ذلك بلاطائل ، فحتى هنالك لن تستجيب أعضاؤه لذلك النداء العاجل الأخير من جهازه العصبي.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
“She returned many years later. So much time had passed that the smell of musk in the room had blended in with the smell of the dust, with the dry and tiny breath of the insects. I was alone in the house, sitting in the corner, waiting. And I had learned to make out the sound of rotting wood, the flutter of the air becoming old in the closed bedrooms. That was when she came.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
“The woman stayed on her stool, silent, concentrating, watching the man's movements with an air of declining sadness. Watching him as a lamp about to go out might have looked at a man.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
“حبي لكِ أعمق من أن أذهب معكِ إلى الفراش”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories

― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories

― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
“كان في تابوت معدًا للدفن، ورغمًا عن ذلك كان يعلم أنه ليس ميتًا وأنه إذا حاول النهوض فسيكون بوسعه القيام بذلك في يسر على الأقل روحيًا، لكن الأمر لم يكن جديرًا بهذا العناء.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories

-Lo que más me gusta de ti -dijo- es la seriedad con que inventas los disparates.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories

― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
“Deliró varias horas, a grandes voces, y con una pasión obstinada. Pero Ulises no la oyó, porque Eréndira lo había querido tanto, y con tanta verdad, que lo volvió a querer por la mitad de su precio mientras la abuela deliraba, y lo siguió queriendo sin dinero hasta el amanecer.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, quote from Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
“We're still in the Dark Ages. The scared and the superstitious savage still lurks behind the mask of civilization and he will remain there for untold generations to come.”
― Michael Talbot, quote from The Delicate Dependency: A Novel of the Vampire Life
“This suggests Query: Does Robert, perhaps, take in what I say even when he makes no reply?”
― E.M. Delafield, quote from Diary of a Provincial Lady
“it's 4:21 am. He's gotta be done having mind-blowing-knock-your-dick-into-your-watch-pocket sex with her, and she's probably spooning with him right now. Ugh, it makes me sick. I'll bet he's in front, too, the dick. Anyone would know that Heaven is supposed to be the little spoon, but he's probably making her be the big spoon.”
― Caprice Crane, quote from Stupid and Contagious
“So, like, Zeus was just some great big preternatural baby-daddy?”
― Nicole Peeler, quote from Tracking the Tempest
“Democracy, liberalism--those are just words on a signpost, she was right about that. But the reality is more like the microflora in your guts. In the West, all your microbes balance each other out, it's taken centuries for you to reach that stage. They all quietly get on with generating hydrogen sulphide and keep their mouths shut. Everything's fine-tuned, like a watch, the total balance and self-regulation of the digestive system, and above it--the corporate media, moistening it all with fresh saliva every day. That kind of organism is called the open society--why the hell should it close down, it can close down anyone else it wants with a couple of air strikes. The question is, how do you arrive at this condition? What they taught us to do was to swallow salmonella with no antibodies to fight it, or other microbes to keep it in check at all. Not surprisingly we developed such a bad case of diarrhea that three hundred billion bucks had drained out before we even began to understand what was going on.”
― Victor Pelevin, quote from The Sacred Book of the Werewolf
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.
