“- Събирам лятото в себе си, тъй както дивите пчели събират мед - рече тя. - Събирам една голяма пита лято, от която да черпя живот, когато то вече е свършило. Знаеш ли какво има в нея?
И заразказва на Бирк.
- Това е неповторима пита, поела в себе си изгреви и боровинкови храсти, вътре са и луничките от твоите ръце, и лунната светлина, огряла вечер потока, и звездното небе, и гората в пладнешката жега, когато слънцето напича боровете, и ситният вечерен дъждец, и други такива работи, и катерички, лисици, зайци и елени, и всички диви коне, които познаваме, и плуването, и ездата в гората, да, виждаш ли - истинска пита, сбрала цялото лято!”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“Instead, I ask you with all my heart, come back to Matt's fort with us now! It's not because I like you - don't think that, whatever you do! But, my daughter does - I know that now - and perhaps I can learn too.”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“Aš turiu suspigti kartu su pavasariu, kitaip sprogsiu. Klausyk! Juk ir tu girdi pavasarį!”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“Yes, she was lonely, but she missed no one in particular. Whom could she miss? Her days were full of life and pleasure, but they passed so quickly.”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“I'm going to bed now, Lovis! Not to sleep. But to think and to curse, and woe better anyone who disturbs me!”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“Ronia felt no joy, and she wondered glumly if things could ever be as they had been before.”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“Summer would not last forever; he knew it and Ronia knew it. But now they began to live as if it would, and as far as possible they pushed away all painful thoughts of winter.”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“Почти на все женщины смотрели по-разному, но в одном они сходились: как прекрасно, когда тебя хоть иногда оставляют в покое и ты можешь не слушать этого оглушительного мужского хохота.”
― Astrid Lindgren, quote from Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
“It's hard to watch. Can't stand the pressure of that much hope.”
― Lisa McMann, quote from Dead to You
“To free a man from error is not to deprive him of anything but to give him something: for the knowledge that a thing is false is a piece of truth. No error is harmless: sooner or later it will bring misfortune to him who harbours it. Therefore deceive no one, but rather confess ignorance of what you do not know, and leave each man to devise his own articles of faith for himself.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, quote from The Wisdom of Life
“Buddhism teaches us to be tolerant and accepting, but tolerance does NOT mean accepting what is harmful.”
― Timber Hawkeye, quote from Buddhist Boot Camp Manuscript
“Lena's real mom, Emily, knew that this was not the truth, but she also knew that Vaclav was not lying.
Vaclav knew that he was telling the truth.
Lena knew that it was a lie, but she loved it and believed it, like a fairy tale, like a song, like a bedtime story, like a magic trick.
She loved Vaclav until it became the truth and so it was.”
― Haley Tanner, quote from Vaclav and Lena
“Is there some rule that says a young man can't be a handsome prince and a terrible bore all at the same time?”
― Cameron Dokey, quote from Before Midnight: A Retelling of "Cinderella"
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.
