“ОДУШЕВЕНО
Една шапка – мека, кафява, филцова, с провиснала периферия и плетен ширит около бомбето – се мъдреше сред другите, като подскачаше поради неравностите на пътя, преодолявани от колелата на моторното средство, което япревозваше – нея, самата шапка. На всяка спирка, когато пътниците се качваха и слизаха, я отместваха странично, а понякога прекалено, което в края на краищата много я ядоса – нея, самата шапка. Шапката изрази гнева си с човешки глас, изтръгнал се от една снабдена с множество отверстия валчеста и плътна маса с костна структура, която се намираше под нея – под самата шапка. После тя изведнъж се устреми напред, защото се оказа, че има свободно място за нея – за самата шапка.
Час-два по-късно видях как тя – самата шапка, – се носи на метър и шейсет и шест от земята и снове пред гара Сен Лазар. Един приятел я съветваше да прибави копче на палтото си – нея, самата шапка… Допълнително копче… На нейното палто… Да ѝ каже това… На нея… На самата шапка.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style
“So I'd stabbed needles into my eyes and pretended not to see certain things. Bad things. Only by turning my back on certain thing, I ended up turning my back on my dearest friend, a betrayal I never intended.
Or so I told myself. That was the problem with lying to yourself. Sometimes you got too good.”
― Lauren Myracle, quote from Shine

Bridge of SighsBookQuoters 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.
