Quotes from பொன்னியின் செல்வன் [Ponniyin Selvan]

“முதலாவது பாகம் - புது வெள்ளம் முதலாவது அத்தியாயம் ஆடித்திருநாள்”
― Kalki, quote from பொன்னியின் செல்வன் [Ponniyin Selvan]

“இனியபுனல் அருவிதவழ் இன்பமலைச் சாரலிலே
கனிகுலவும் மரநிழலில்
கரம்பிடித்து உகந்ததெல்லாம் கனவுதானோடி - சகியே நினைவு தானோடி..!

புன்னைமரச் சோலையிலே பொன்னொளிரும் மாலையிலே என்னைவரச்சொல்லி அவர்
கன்னல்மொழி பகர்ந்ததெல்லாம் சொப்பனந்தானோடி - அந்த அற்புதம் பொய்யோடி..!

கட்டுகாவல் தான்கடந்து கள்ளரைப்போல் மட்டில்லாத
காதலுடன் கட்டி முத்தம்
ஈந்ததெல்லாம் நிகழ்ந்ததுண்டோடி நாங்கள் மகிழ்ந்ததுண்டோடி..!”
― Kalki, quote from பொன்னியின் செல்வன் [Ponniyin Selvan]

“See you not the dawn after the dark night. The earth shudders, the lotus blossoms. The sun rises to please the world.”
― Kalki, quote from பொன்னியின் செல்வன் [Ponniyin Selvan]

“– Мисля, че аз най-добре мога да преценя какво им е нужно.
- Не – каза Жакмор. – Те най-добре могат да преценят.
- Това е абсурдно – отсече Клемантин. – Тези деца са изложени на постоянни рискове, както, между другото, и всички деца.
- Те имат средства за защита, каквито вие нямате – каза Жакмор.
- В края на краищата вие не ги обичате така, както ги обичам аз и не изпитвате това, което изпитвам аз.
Жакмор замълча за миг.
- Много естествено – каза накрая той. – Как бих могъл да ги обичам по този начин?
- Само една майка може да разбере това – рече Клемантин.
- Но птиците умират в клетка – каза Жакмор.
- Много добре си живеят – отвърна Клемантин – Това е дори единственото място, където човек може прилично да се грижи за тях.
- Добре – каза Жакмор. – Виждам, че не може нищо да се направи.
Той стана.
- Трябва да се сбогувам с вас. Сигурно повече няма да се видим.
- Когато свикнат – рече тя, - може би ще мога да се отбивам от време на време в селото. Всъщност изобщо не разбирам вашите възражения, след като и вие в крайна сметка ще се затворите по същия начин.
- Но аз не затварям другите – отвърна Жакмор.
- Моите деца и аз сме едно цяло – каза Клемантин. – Аз толкова ги обичам.
- Имате странно разбиране за света.
- Същото мислех и за вас. В моето няма нищо странно. Светът това са те.
- Не, не, вие бъркате. Вие искате да бъдете техният свят! И в този смисъл разбирането ви е унищожително.

Той стана и излезе от стаята. Клемантин го проследи с поглед. Не изглежда щастлив, си помисли я. Сигурно майка му му е липсвала.”
― Boris Vian, quote from Heartsnatcher

About BookQuoters

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.
