“ფული ღარიბ ქვეყანა­ში და ფული მდიდარ ქევყანაში – ორი სხვადასხვა ცნებაა. ფული მდიდარ ქვეყანაში არის ფასიანი ქაღალდი, რომლითაც თქვენ ბაზარში საქონელს ყიდულობთ; იქ თქვენ უბრალოდ მყიდველი ხართ, იქ მილიონერიც კი მყიდველია. მას შეუძლია შეიძინოს ბევრი ან ცოტა საქონელი, მაგრამ ის მაინც ერთ-ერთ რიგით მუშტრად რჩება და მეტი არაფერი. მაგრამ ღარიბ ქვეყანაში? ასეთ ქვეყანაში ფული არის მშვენიერი, თავბრუდამხვევი, მათრობელა, მარადიულ ყვავილებგამოსხმული ღობე, რომლითაც თქვენ ყველასგან იზოლირებული ხართ. ამ ცოცხალი ღობის იქით ვერ ხედავთ საშინელ სიღატაკეს, სიბინძურეს, ვერ გრძნობთ მის სიმყრალეს, არ გესმით ხალხის გულებიდან ამომავალი ხმები.
თუმცა, იმავდროულად თქვენ იცით, რომ ეს ყველაფერი არსებობს და გრძნობთ სიხარულსა და სიამაყეს: თქვენ ხომ ასე საიმედოდ ხართ დაცული. თქვენ გაქვთ ფული, მაშასადამე, თქვენ გაქვთ ფრთები. თქვენ ხართ სამოთხის ჩიტი, რომელიც აღტაცებას იწვევს. შეგიძლიათ, წარმოიდგინოთ, რომ ჰოლანდიაში ხალხი მდიდარი თანამემამულის დასათვალიერებლად შეიკრიბოს იმის გამო, რომ მას ახლოდან შეხედოს?! შვედეთში ან ავსტრალიაში? ჩვენთან კი ასე ხდე­ბა: თუ თავადი ან მილი”
― Ryszard Kapuściński, quote from The Emperor


“It is mainly because of the unorganized state of the Chinese masses that Japan dares to bully us.”
― Mao Zedong, quote from Quotations from Chairman Mao Tsetung

About BookQuoters

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.
