“But for the most part, love is a recognition, an opportunity to say, 'There is something about you I cherish.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“- Няма друго място като морето, господа. Тези, които цял живот изкарват на сушата, никога няма да го разберат. Морето е първично, понякога е жестоко, друг път - нежно, и никога - предсказуемо.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“There are many ways to love someone. Sometimes we want to love so much we're not too choosy about who we love. Other times we make love such a pure and noble thing no poor human can ever meet our vision. But for the most part, love is a recognition, an opportunity to say, 'There is something about you I cherish.' It doesn't entail marriage, or even physical love. There's love of parents, love of city or nation, love of life, and love of people. All different, all love.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“- Вземете който щете моряк, газил в дълбоки води и срещал смъртта толкова пъти, колкото мен, драснете го с нокът по кожата и отдолу ще намерите философ. Засуканите думи ще са му чужди, гарантирам ви, но ще намерите дълбок и траен усет за мястото му в света.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“- Като дете изпитвах същото по клоните на големите дървета. Да стоиш прилепен до един ствол, толкова древен, че и най-древната човешка памет бледнее пред него, ти внушава същото чувство за място в света.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“Ишап, морето е голямо, а лодката ми - малка. Имай милост към мен.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“Dok su prilazili vratima kolibe, Pag reče: "Čogana, hvala ti. Ali zanima me jedno: pomenuo si neprijatelja na vrhu kule. Možeš li mi ga opisati?"
Čogana se nasmeja i klimnu glavom. "Oh da, video sam ga." On krenu uz stepenice prema kolibi, i dalje se kikoćući. "To je najstrašniji neprijatelj svakog čoveka." Suženim očima osmotri Paga. "Bio si to ti.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“Vidiš, veoma je malo stvarnih ogreničenja. Sve čemu te uče je korisno, ali nikad ne prihvataj tvrdnju da je neko rešenje *jedino* rešenje samo ako uspe da reši problem.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“Stvorili ste čoveka sa snažnim osećanjem dužnosti, koji nije omekšan ljubavlju prema tome čemu duguje vernost.”
― Raymond E. Feist, quote from Magician: Master
“Moćnicima je važnije sopstveno blagostanje nego dobrobit Carstva. A kako su sami oni slika Carstva za bilo koje neupućeno oko, ta činjenica se lako propušta."
"Kako to misliš?" - upita stariji čarobnjak.
"Kad pomisliš na Carstvo, šta zamišljaš? Istoriju armija koje ratuju po zemlji? Ili uspon Sabora? Možda se setiš vladarskih hronika. Šta god bilo, jedna najočiglednija istina se previđa. Carstvo čine svi oni koji žive unutar njegovih granica, od vlastelina do najnižih slugu, čak i robova koji obrađuju zemlju. Ono se mora posmatrati kao jedinstvena celina, i pogrešno je smatrati neki mali ali vidljiv deo, poput ratnog vođe ili Visokog saveta, njegovoim otelotvorenjem. Shvataš li to?”

“We labored to understand before we learned how dear knowledge had become, that in the war between nations to dominate so much new territory, ideas had transmuted into a new currency recognizable to all and immediately transferable. Intellectual property rights now serve as an ephemeral gold, weightless and invisible, priceless artifacts one can slip into the folds of his or her brain and smuggle anywhere, undetected.”
― Hugh Howey, quote from Half Way Home
“As much as I loathed pain, progress did not seem to come without it.”
― quote from Get Me Out of Here: My Recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder
“W H. Auden once suggested that to understand your own country you need to have lived in at least two others. One can say something similar for periods of time: to understand your own century you need to have come to terms with at least two others. The key to learning something about the past might be a ruin or an archive but the means whereby we may understand it is—and always will be—ourselves.”
― Ian Mortimer, quote from The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century
“It is up to us survivors to be brave and let the whole world know all about the horrors that took place. We owe this to our children and the good God who, mercifully, let us live.”

“[Tessa] knew about phantom limbs [....] Her cheek, where the Englishman's fingers had been, did not exactly ache ... but very strangely, most curiously ... it felt.”

Reconstructing Ameli...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.
