“Disarmed, defeated but elated,
I knew at once you were the one.
That meeting was, no doubt fated.
You are my own midnight sun.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“You are my life, my very essence,
You are the air that I breathe,
You are the key to my repentance
Which I confess is not a breeze!”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“No matter what abyss was gaping
Between the worlds that we belonged,
Love was a realm of an escaping
Deprived of any right or wrong.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“This monotonous world around
Seems boring, colorless, and dull.
I just existed till I found
You in my life which was banal.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“I mostly lived in my dimension
Built up of fantasies and dreams,
Hardly a seeker of attention,
Yet, I preferred to act on whims.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“I raised my eyes to meet his gazing
And whispered to him, “I LOVE YOU!”
He looked so utterly amazing,
Divinely handsome, to be true.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“We cannot live to be together
Forever doomed to love and death,
The latter bringing us together
Claiming from life the final breath!
So we shall love in death forever,
Evicted as we are from life,
As long as living shall be never
Successful in the love-long strife!”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“…You proved to value love and care
Over the riches of your world
Despite your haughtiness, so rare,
And cruelty and blood, so cold. …
… And you have shown
Your love for him deserves to be
And we return you to your throne,
Vampire Queen you used to be. …”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“I didn’t say a word but stared
At Derek, still a little hazed.
He stared back, uncertain, scared,
Still unbelieving and amazed.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“Everything science has is hardly
The way it positively is.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“To be a joke, it was too cruel;
But to be true, it was absurd…
My mind seemed to have got the fuel
It needed to become alert.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“Now we are creatures of the darkness
Blessed with eternal love to last!”
The knowing dawned on me with sharpness
Enhanced by glimpses of the past.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal
“Perhaps, the Providence decided
That human mind is still too weak
To master everything provided
A priori; it’s doomed to seek
For any sound explanation
To what is hidden from its view
Building a fickle foundation
For such a changeable worldview.”
― Tatyana K. Varenko, quote from Ordeal

“The Byronic
hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid,
his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and
destructive action. To love someone whom one will never see again is to give a cry of exultation as one
perishes in the flames of passion. One lives only in and for the moment, in order to achieve "the brief and
vivid union of a tempestuous heart united to the tempest" (lermontov). The threat of mortality which
hangs over us makes everything abortive. Only the cry of anguish can bring us to life; exaltation takes the
place of truth. To this extent the apocalypse becomes an absolute value in which everything is
confounded—love and death, conscience and culpability. In a chaotic universe no other life exists but that
of the abyss where, according to Alfred Le Poittevin, human beings come "trembling with rage and
exulting in
their crimes" to curse the Creator.”
― Albert Camus, quote from The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt
“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That's one of my favorite things to say. So what.”

Dama s psičkomBookQuoters 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.
