“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“حبي لكِ أعمق من أن أذهب معكِ إلى الفراش”
“هذه الحياة السيئة تحيلك إلى وحش كاسر”
“لقد اعتصرها الموت دافعًا بها الى الحياة”
“لم يكن على الإطلاق ما يبرر الخوف، إنه كان خوفًا فريدًا من نوعه، دونما سبب، خوفًا لا لشيء إلا .......”
“قد غدا الآن غارقًا في استسلامه للاحتضار إلى حد أنه قد يموت من جراء الاستسلام”
“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.”
“Eréndira se rió por primera vez en mucho tiempo.
-Lo que más me gusta de ti -dijo- es la seriedad con que inventas los disparates.”
“Sus recuerdos eran tan antiguos, que no existían discos suficientemente viejos para removerlos.”

“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.”
“I never meant that," [Anyan] said, eventually. "I've never thought you were pathetic and I don't consider you half of anything." His voice was sad, the tone familiar yet unidentifiable that I wanted to scream. "You're Jane," he concluded, "and that's enough." He looked over at me, his face shadowed but his eyes still visible.”
“Muy bien. Veamos adónde nos lleva esto.”
“Both here and in Russia, he repeatedly chided Putin for cracking down on the press, telling the Russian president that his country had to have a free press, that a free press is essential for a democracy. “You need to have an independent press,” George would tell him. And Putin would invariably reply, “Well, you control your press.” George would shake his head and say, “No, Vladimir, I don’t. I wish sometimes that I could control them, but I can’t. They are free to say whatever they want. In our country, the press is free to write terrible things about me, and I can’t do anything about it.” But Russia is a country without those traditions, and with no memory of them, and many in Russia believed that the U.S. government did control our press. In fact, following a summit meeting, one of the first questions George got from a Russian newsman essentially was, How can you complain to President Putin about the Russian press when you fired Dan Rather?”
“We, the heirs of Saint Patrick, we who kept alive the Christian faith and the writings of ancient Rome when most of the world had sunk under the barbarians, we who gave the Saxons their education are to be taught a lesson in Christianity by the English?”
“There are different kinds of truth. And if our kind is more mature than theirs, it's so only because we know that.”
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.
