“– Зачем ты приехал сюда? спросила миссис Хэмбро. Тебе известна причина твеого переезда в Дрейкз-Лендинг?
Я покачал головой.
– Сила свела нас вместе, сказала она. Сейчас во всем мире формируются группы. Они получают одно и то же сообщение: страдайте и через боль спасайте мир. Христос не только страдал за наши грехи, но и показал нам путь. Мы должны последовать его примеру. Нас поднимут на крест, и мы получим вечную жизнь.
Она выпустила дым через ноздри.
– Христос родился на другой планете. Он был более развитой расы. Земля самая отсталая планета во Вселенной. Ночью, когда я лежу без сна, мне транслируют сообщения. Иногда они пугают меня. Как-то раз наши братья по разуму начали открывать мне клапаны в голове вот тут и вот тут.
Она показала эти места.
– Я услышала ужасный шум, самый громки шум, который я когда-либо слышала. Он оглушил меня. Ты знаешь, что это было? Спуск космического посоха Аарона! Он возник передо мной прямо в воздухе. После этого я не могу смотреть на солнце без очков. Интенсивность космических лучей слишком велика. Она сжигает наши умы. К концу мая интенсивность достигнет максимальной величины. Затем, по мнению ученых, наступит конец света. Полюса планеты поменяются местами. Ты знаешь, что случится? Сан-Франциско совместится с Лос-Анджелесом.
– Да, я знаю.
Мне доводилось читать об этом в газете.
– Самые развитые существа живут на солнце, продолжила миссис Хэмбро. Они контактируют с моим мозгом каждую ночь. Меня посвящают в знания. Скоро я узнаю тайну Вселенной. Головокружительная перспектива.”
― Philip K. Dick, quote from Confessions of a Crap Artist
“If the painter wishes to see beauties that charm him, it lies in his power to create them, and if he wishes to see monstrosities that are frightful, ridiculous, or truly pitiable, he is lord and God thereof.”

“Eight and a half miles can be covered in minutes in a car on an expressway, but what does a man see? What he gains in time he loses in benefit to his body and mInd.”

EverBookQuoters 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.
