“Nu-i acoperiţi pieptul –
Aş vrea să văd dacă inima lui mai bate
Acest trup trecător
Păstrează în el sănătatea
Nemuritoare a unui întreg indestructibil
Ce cântă şi merge
Pe o melodie imposibilă.
Încă mai ascult cântecele sale
Pe care nicio armă nu le poate străpunge
Şi nici focul nu le poate arde.
Îl voi vedea încă o dată
Dincolo de marea de lacrimi.”
― Maitreyi Devi, quote from It Does Not Die
“O greseala te duce spre alta, o minciuna urmeaza alteia si astfel adevarul nu mai poate iesi la lumina.”
― Maitreyi Devi, quote from It Does Not Die
“Oricat l-ar iubi cineva pe altcineva, cat de uşor il poate inşela, deoarece nimeni nu poate cunoaşte, fără să i se spună, gandurile altuia.”
― Maitreyi Devi, quote from It Does Not Die
“Îmi aranjez părul şi, potrivindu-mi sari-ul, un cântec a început să murmure în mine: "am nectar în inimă, îl doreşti?”
― Maitreyi Devi, quote from It Does Not Die
“Omul nu este niciodată mulțumit cu tot ceea ce a primit în dar. El însuși este un creator, misiunea lui fiind aceea de a-și transforma necazul în fericire.”
― Maitreyi Devi, quote from It Does Not Die
“De ce nu ai spus adevărul, Mircea? Numai adevărul nu era de-ajuns? Ai scris pentru bani? Da, pentru asta ai facut-o - acesta este specificul Occidentului, unde cărțile se vând pentru voluptate, nu pentru dragoste.”
― Maitreyi Devi, quote from It Does Not Die

“¿Y no es extraordinario que, desparecidas las causas, persistan los efectos? ¿Y que los efectos oculten a las causas?”
― Octavio Paz, quote from The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings
“We, helpless infants in arms or creeping quadruped-like on the floor, dreamed our dreams of air flight. Yes; and we endured the torment and torture of nightmare fears of dim and monstrous things. We newborn infants, without experience, were born with fear, with memory of fear; and memory is experience.”
― Jack London, quote from The Star Rover
“—¡Deja de jugar con la comida! —le dijo por signos mi madre.
—Son nubes —respondió Dot.
—Las nubes no son rojas —dijo por signos Soph.
—Es el amanecer —replicó por signos Dot, desafiante—. Porque en mi plato está amaneciendo. Y a la salchicha le parece precioso. —Le esculpió una sonrisa a la salchicha con el cuchillo.
—Vaya desastre —le dijo por signos mi madre.
—Pero un desastre bonito —sonrió Dot. Le dio la vuelta a su plato para enseñárselo a nuestra madre. La salchicha estaba tumbada de espaldas, sonriéndoles a las nubes de kétchup.”

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.
