― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time

― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time

“if you are going to be pushed you had better jump”
― Henry James, quote from Washington Square

“(from John Hay's diary) “The President never appeared to better advantage in the world,” Hay proudly noted in his diary. “Though He knows how immense is the danger to himself from the unreasoning anger of that committee, he never cringed to them for an instant. He stood where he thought he was right and crushed them with his candid logic.”
― Doris Kearns Goodwin, quote from Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln

“Childhood romances always seem so real, so enduring, when we are separated from the object of our affection. But usually, when we return, we find that our dreams and memories quiet surpassed reality.

-Lady Anne, Whitney's aunt”
― Judith McNaught, quote from Whitney, My Love

“Baka je na dno groba prostrla čistu bijelu pamučnu vreću, položila Ringera na nju, i onda ga još pažljivo obmotala njome. Djed je položio jednu debelu dasku na Ringera, da ga rakuni ne bi mogli iskopati. Onda smo zatrpali grob. Psi su stajali oko groba pognutih glava. Znali su da je stari Ringer mrtav, i stara Maud je plakala. Ona i stari Ringer su bili partneri u čuvanju kukuruznog polja.
Djed je skinuo šešir i rekao: „Zbogom, stari Ringer.“ I ja sam rekao: „Zbogom, stari Ringer.“ I onda smo otišli i ostavili starog Ringera pod malim hrastom.
Bilo mi je jako teško zbog toga i osjećao sam se nekako prazan. Djed je rekao da zna kako se osjećam jer se on osjećao isto tako. Čovjek se uvijek tako osjeća kad izgubi nekoga koga je volio, rekao je, a jedini način na koji bi se to moglo izbjeći je čitavog života nikoga ne voljeti. Ali to bi bilo još gore, jer onda bi se čitavog života osjećao praznim.
Pretpostavimo da stari Ringer nije bio tako vjeran pas, rekao je djed, u tom slučaju ne bismo bili toliko ponosni na njega. To bi bio jedan puno gori osjećaj. To je istina.
A kad ja jednom ostarim, i to je djed rekao, sjećat ću se starog Ringera - i rado ću ga se sjećati. Čudna je to stvar, rekao je, ali kad ostariš i sjećaš se onih koje si volio, sjećaš se samo lijepog i dobrog, nikad ružnih stvari. Što je još jedan dokaz da ono što je loše ne igra nikakvu ulogu.”
― Forrest Carter, quote from The Education of Little Tree

“Blessings be on this house," Granny said, perfunctorily. It was always a good opening remark for a witch. It concentrated people's minds on what other things might be on this house.”
― Terry Pratchett, quote from Witches Abroad

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.
