“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

“Tuo tarpu kažkoks vargšas katorgininkėlis nuo Gdansko, pasisukaliojęs prie mūsų, padovanojo mum visiem vieną kiaušinį, - kad vardas tojo lenkelio būtų palaimintas per amžius!
Ir mes dabar, kaip visi gyvieji žmonės, švenčiame velykas! Sėdim po stogu, ant suolo, - ir kiaušinį turime!
Vyriausias iš mūsų tarpo, drebančiom rankom iš susijaudinimo, paėmė tą kiaušinėlį, padalino kiekvienam po plonučiuką gabalėlį, apsiašarodamas palaimino kiekvieną iš mūsų.
Simbolis - simboliu, bet vis dėlto simbolis kartais esti daug galingesnis už pačią pasiučiausią tikrovę!
Tą dieną pietų mes jau nebenorėjome. Buvome sotūs tuo kiaušinio gabalėliu, - ir dar kaip sotūs!
Galimas daiktas, pasotino mus ir tyliai paslapčiomis prarytos ašaros, gal dar ir slapti prisiminimai - Tėvynės, tėvų, brolių, seserų, šeimų, - visa tai labai galimas daiktas, bet istorija apie tai tyli.”
― Balys Sruoga, quote from Forest of the Gods
“Your a skid-mark on the underwear of humanity. -Ostin Liss”

“There's good sex, and then there's sex where the memory takes up permanent residence in your brain, changes the fucking chemical balance or something so that you crave it like a damn fix. It makes you jones for it, gets under your skin like an itch. That's the kind of sex this is.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“I love being serious. Serious is important. I abhor humour and fun. Especially happiness.”

Cordelia's HonorBookQuoters 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.
