“—La base del budismo es la compasión hacia todo lo que vive o existe. Dijo que cada uno debe buscar la verdad o la iluminación dentro de sí mismo, no en otros o en cosas externas.

Sólo poseen sus túnicas, sus sandalias y sus escudillas para mendigar comida. No les interesan los bienes materiales”
― Isabel Allende, quote from Kingdom of the Golden Dragon

Popular quotes

“I saw Byzantium in a dream, and knew that I would die there. That vast city seemed to me a living thing: a great golden lion... I felt the dread jaws close on me as I stood screaming.

Then I awoke; but my waking brought neither joy nor relief. For I rose not to life, but to the terrible certainty of death. I was to die, and the golden towers of Byzantium would be my tomb. ~ Aidan”
― Stephen R. Lawhead, quote from Byzantium

“تبدأ المعرفة بالوعي بمدى خديعة مداركنا وحواسنا إيانا, بمعنى أن الصورة التي لدينا عن الحقيقة المادية لا تتفق تماما مع الحقيقة الحقيقية. ذلك أن أغلبية الناس أنصاف أيقاظ-أنصاف حالمين. وأنهم على غير وعي بأن ما يرونه حقيقة وأمورا واضحة لا تحتاج لإثبات ليست إلا اوهاما من صنع ايحاءات البيئة الاجتماعية التي يعيشون فيها. وتبدأ المعرفة اذا بتبديد الوهم. والمعرفة تعني رؤية الحقيقة عارية, تعني النفاذ تحت السطح والسعي, الإيجابي النشيط والنقدي, للاقتراب من الحقيقة دائما.”
― Erich Fromm, quote from To Have or to Be? The Nature of the Psyche

“Bildiğim bir şey varsa oda karşılığını vermeden bir şey alamayacağınızdır, istediğiniz şey ne kadar büyükse karşılığında ödemeniz gereken bedel de o kadar büyük olur.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Oracle Night

― Kristen Ashley, quote from Rock Chick Reckoning

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.
