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]

“Research suggests that in over 90 percent of all successful new businesses, historically, the strategy that the founders had deliberately decided to pursue was not the strategy that ultimately led to the business’s success.”

“It was so strange, she thought, these moments we pray for; they happen so quick and then they’re gone. “Just like that,” Charley said out loud.”
― Karen Kondazian, quote from The Whip

“Lately
I’ve been dreaming about you
About us
Sharing our secrets
Talking, even if we argued
Kept talking, till we slept
Maybe I woke up
On the wrong side of bed
Maybe I thought about you
Just a little too much”
― Irum Zahra, quote from Psychaotic: See The World In Red And Black

“Мы делаем своих чад калеками на всю жизнь, умалчивая об одиночестве в его оттенках, полутонах и подоплеках. А вот когда бахнет по башке (обычно после того, как мы вылетаем из родного гнездышка), мы и понять не можем, что стряслось. Глазеем по сторонам, как ошарашенные. На болезнь валим, шизоидные и биполярные расстройства себе выдумываем, грешим на дурной характер и недостаток хрома в рационе. Годам к тридцати до нас, наконец, доходит, почему юность была безрадостна и почему, пока мы с гордым экстерьером изображаем уверенность бронзовых пилотов героической эскадры, в черепной коробке незаметно для окружающих закипают и плавятся мозги. От одиночества.”
― Douglas Coupland, quote from Eleanor Rigby

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.
