“You keep walking through the middle of J.C.,” I said. “It’s very disturbing for him; he hates being reminded he’s a hallucination.” “I’m not a hallucination,” J.C. snapped. “I have state-of-the-art stealthing equipment.”

“—¿Por qué es tan duro perder a la persona amada?
Ante mi silencio, mi abuelo prosiguió:
—Debe de ser porque ya amabas a esa persona antes. No es que la separación o la ausencia sean, en sí mismas, tristes. El amor hacia esa persona, que ya existía previamente, es el que hace tan dolorosa la separación y el que te hace perseguir su recuerdo con nostalgia. Y ese dolor nunca desaparece. ¿No se puede afirmar, por lo tanto, que el dolor y la tristeza no son más que una manifestación parcial de esa gran emoción que es nuestro amor por alguien?
—No lo sé.
—Piensa en la desaparición de una persona. Si se trata de alguien que no te importa, no sientes nada. No tienes conciencia de haberla perdido. En realidad, sólo sientes que pierdes a alguien cuando es alguien a quien no quieres perder. Es decir que, posiblemente, la sensación de pérdida es una parte del amor que se siente por alguien. Como se ama a una persona, su ausencia se convierte en un problema, su ausencia produce dolor en la persona que ha dejado atrás. Y la tristeza siempre le lleva a uno a la misma conclusión: "La despedida ha sido dura, pero algún día volveremos a reencontrarnos".”

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.
