“زن خاکستر معشوق را به خانه میآورد و آن را در یک ساعت شنی میریزد و میگوید: خیال کردی حقه زدی و از گذشت زمان راحت شدی؟ حال توی همین ساعت جریان داشته باش و با من پیر شو.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Ski Bum
“Имя его было Акакий Акакиевич. Может быть, читателю оно покажется несколько странным и выисканным, но можно уверить, что его никак не искали, а что сами собою случились такие обстоятельства, что никак нельзя было дать другого имени, и это произошло именно вот как. Родился Акакий Акакиевич против ночи, если только не изменяет память, на 23 марта. Покойница матушка, чиновница и очень хорошая женщина, расположилась, как следует, окрестить ребенка. Матушка еще лежала на кровати против дверей, а а по правую руку стоял кум, превосходнейший человек, Иван Иванович Ерошкин, служивший столоначальником в сенате, и кума, жена квартального офицера, женщина редких добродетелей, Арина Семеновна Белобрюшкова. Родильнице предоставили на выбор любое из трех, какое она хочет выбрать: Моккия, Соссия, или назвать ребенка во имя мученика Хоздазата. "Нет, -- подумала покойница, -- имена-то все такие". Чтобы угодить ей, развернули календарь в другом месте; вышли опять три имени: Трифилий, Дула и Варахасий. "Вот это наказание, -- проговорила старуха, -- какие всё имена; я, право, никогда и не слыхивала таких. Пусть бы еще Варадат или Варух, а то Трифилий и Варахасий". Еще переворотили страницу -- вышли: Павсикахий и Вахтисий. "Ну, уж я вижу, -- сказала старуха, -- что, видно, его такая судьба. Уж если так, пусть лучше будет он называться, как и отец его. Отец был Акакий, так пусть и сын будет Акакий”

“I went utterly still as I watched us dancing. That...oh, holy shit. I knew my cheeks were flaming as I watched us move against each other. Our hands just kind of went wherever they wanted. Body parts rubbing sinuously together. I placed a hand over my mouth gently as I watched us...
"Jesus," Elder Merrick muttered, sounding a bit breathless. "I think I bring sex to the dance floor, but fuck..." A pause. "Queen Ruckler, I know I've offered before...and it still stands."
Elder Jacobs grunted. "Maybe I could get a copy of this-”

Provinces of NightBookQuoters 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.
