“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

“on the Queen’s finger was that ring of gold with emeralds set therein, which Mark had given her on her bridal day; but her hand was so wasted that the ring hardly held.”
― Joseph Bédier, quote from The Romance of Tristan and Iseult
“ОДУШЕВЕНО
Една шапка – мека, кафява, филцова, с провиснала периферия и плетен ширит около бомбето – се мъдреше сред другите, като подскачаше поради неравностите на пътя, преодолявани от колелата на моторното средство, което япревозваше – нея, самата шапка. На всяка спирка, когато пътниците се качваха и слизаха, я отместваха странично, а понякога прекалено, което в края на краищата много я ядоса – нея, самата шапка. Шапката изрази гнева си с човешки глас, изтръгнал се от една снабдена с множество отверстия валчеста и плътна маса с костна структура, която се намираше под нея – под самата шапка. После тя изведнъж се устреми напред, защото се оказа, че има свободно място за нея – за самата шапка.
Час-два по-късно видях как тя – самата шапка, – се носи на метър и шейсет и шест от земята и снове пред гара Сен Лазар. Един приятел я съветваше да прибави копче на палтото си – нея, самата шапка… Допълнително копче… На нейното палто… Да ѝ каже това… На нея… На самата шапка.”

“Mama Sweetie said you didn't need a reason to sing. She said if everyone started off the day singing, just think how happy they'd be.”

“He might have run off then, and thus avoided a great many adventures to come, but the girl cried, “Wait!” and he turned to face her. “Please,” she implored from the window. “Don’t go. Come with us. I promise you won’t regret it.”
For a moment, Peter stood in the road indecisively, staring into the girl’s eyes as if trying to penetrate a great mystery.”
― Christopher Daniel Mechling, quote from Peter: The Untold True Story
“The flowers were opulent, full-blown, topple shower petals at a touch. He thought that she might topple that way, falling all at once into his hand, a soft drift of blossom between his fingers. The roses bowed their extravagant heads, nodding, but she was all stiff prim and black, back in her bonnet, so that he could not see her face unless she looked directly at him.”

Animal FarmBookQuoters 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.
