“What’s about to happen?” I know the answer, but I’m playing with our fire. I want to hear it from his lips.
His eyes widen, but he smiles, figuring out my game. “I’m taking you to my house, and I’m putting you to bed.” His grin gets a little wider before he finishes, “With me in you.”

“Та както си лежах гол и зяпах в тавана, а блондинката лежеше до мен и също гледаше тавана, внезапно скочих, грабнах божурите от вазата, окъсах венчелистчетата им и ги посипах върху корема на госпожицата, беше тъй прекрасно, та чак сам се изумих, а госпожицата се надигна и също се загледа в корема си, ала листенцата почнаха да падат и аз я побутнах нежно назад, нека си лежи, откачих от куката огледалото и го нагласих така, че госпожицата да може да се любува на корема си, колко е прекрасен, обсипан с прецъфтели листенца от божур, и викам, ще бъде прекрасно, всеки път като дойда, във вазата да има цветя, ей така ще ти украсявам коремчето, тя рече, че такова нещо още не й се било случвало, такава почит към нейната красота, и ми вика още, че се била влюбила в мен заради тези цветя, а аз казах, колко красиво ще е по Коледа, като накъсам елхови клонки и украся коремчето й с тях, а тя вика, че още по-прекрасно ще е, ако я украся с бял имел, а най-добре ще бъде, и то трябва да се уреди час по-скоро, на тавана над леглото да има огледало, за да се гледаме, както си лежим, и най-вече колко е красива тя, когато е гола с венец около рунтавелката й, венец, който ще се сменя според сезона и цветята, характерни за съответния месец, колко красиво ще е, като я украся с маргаритки и момини сълзи, или с хризантеми, димитровчета и с пъстри есенни листа… и станах аз и запрегръщах сам себе си, чувствах се толкова висок, като си тръгвах и дадох двеста крони, но тя ми ги върна, аз обаче ги сложих на масата и излязох, и имах чувството, че съм висок метър и осемдесет, подадох и на госпожа Райска сто крони през прозорчето, откъдето се бе надвесила и ме гледаше през очилата си… излязох навън в нощта, небето над тъмните улички бе осеяно със звезди, но аз виждах единствено всички ония омайничета, и кокичета, и иглики по целия корем на русокосата госпожица, вървях и с всяка крачка все повече се радвах на себе си, как може да ми хрумне тази идея, да я гарнирам като поднос с шунка със зеленчуци, да гарнирам така прекрасния женски корем с космато хълмче по средата, и тъй като знаех доста за цветята, продължавах да си мечтая и обличах голата златокоска с очиболец, венчелистчета от лалета и перуники, и си казвах, че има още много какво да се измисли, щото туй развлечение ще мие през цялата година, с пари може да се купи не само красива девойка, но с пари може да се купи и поезия.”
― Bohumil Hrabal, quote from I Served the King of England
“For my part, if a man must needs be a knave, I would have him a debonair knave, and I liked Rupert Hentzau better than his long-faced, close-eyed companions.”

“The water is DEEP AND DARK AND DANGEROUS”
― Mary Downing Hahn, quote from Deep and Dark and Dangerous (A Ghost Story)
“Something once lost will never return”
― Yana Toboso, quote from Black Butler, Vol. 1
“The pendule always swings widely to and fro twixt good cheer and melancholy, that is customary, and is, so to speak, still of the more civilly moderate, more Nurembergish sort, in comparison with what we purvey. For in this respect we purvey in extremes: We furnish upliftings and illuminations, experiences of release and unshackling, of liberty, security, facility, such states of power and triumph that our man trusts not his senses-incorporating, moreover, a colossal admiration of his own achievement, for which he could easily forgo that of any stranger and alien the self-glorious shudder, yea the precious horror of himself, in which he seems to himself a mouthpiece well graced, a divine monster. And commensurably deep, venerably deep, is likewise his descent at intervals-not only into emptiness and waste and rich sorrow, but also into pain and nauseas-companions, by the by, who were always there, who are part of the propensity, yet now
most worthily enhanced by illumination and sensible pot-valiance. They are pains that one gladly and proudly takes in the bargain with pleasures so enormous, pains such as one knows from a fairy tale, pains like slashing knives, like those the little mermaid felt in the beautiful human legs she had acquired for a tail.”
― Thomas Mann, quote from Doctor Faustus

WingsBookQuoters 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.
