“Halbuki komünist değildi Selim.
Düşünmemişti komünizmin ne olduğunu bile.
O sadece on sekiz yaşındaydı
ve yirmi beş kuruş yerine elli kuruş istiyordu
ve on dört saat yerine on saat.
Polis bu kanaatta değildi fakat.
Yatırdılar Selim'i yere.
Selim kalktığı zaman
basamıyordu döşemelere.
Yatırdılar Selim'i yere,
Selim kalktığı zaman
göremiyordu önünü artık.
Yatırdılar Selim'i yere,
Selim kalktı ve yığıldı.
Selim'in koltuklarına girip
karanlık bir odaya götürdüler.
Ve duvarda bir çiviye bağladılar saçlarından,
o suretle ki
döşemeye ancak ayak parmaklarının ucu dokunuyordu.
Bir tramvay geçti sokaktan gıcırtılarla.
Yakın bir yerde yatsı ezanı okunuyordu.
Çözdüler Selim'i çividen,
yatırdılar Selim'i yere.
Ve Selim kalktığı zaman
bir pencere gördü uzaktan
çok uzaktan ama
perdesiz karanlık bir pencere.
Atıldı ona doğru.
Camlar kırıldı şangırdayarak.
İlk önce kayboldu bir insan başı
sonra kayboldu iki ayak.”
― Nâzım Hikmet Ran, quote from Human Landscapes from My Country: An Epic Novel in Verse
“But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from Mord im Orientexpress
“To me, I see scars of courage. Inflicting them gave him the strength to survive the pain that's plagued him all his life. I'm grateful to every one of them because he's still here, with me.”
― Nicola Haken, quote from Broken
“I drove back home. I missed her already.”
― Durjoy Datta, quote from Our Impossible Love
“...reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays....”

The Storied Life of...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.
