“Thing about white people," Jeremiah's father tells him, "they know what everybody else is, but they don't know they're white" - "Maybe some know it" His father eyed him and smiled "When they walk into a party and everyone's black, they know it. Or when they get caught in Harlem after nightfall, they know it. But otherwise...”

“تؤمن لميس أن تسلط الرجل لا يأتي من فراغ ، وإنما بعد عثوره على امرأة تحب هذا التسلط منه وتساعده على الاستمرار فيه : - أنا أعتقد إنو الرجال ما بيكزبوا لكن همّا لؤما شوية . الواحد يبدأ يتهرب من البنت بعد ما تصير سهلة معاه وبعد ما يحس إنو خلاص ما صارت تمسّل تحدي بالنسبة لو ، لكن ما يقول لها هادا الكلام في وشهّا ، ولا يخليها تحس إنو هوا الغلطان ، لأ! يقنعها إنها هيا اللي عندها مشاكل مش هوا ! بعضهم يدّو البنت إشارات علشان تنهي العلاقة بنفسها ، لكن إحنا البنات الأغبياء عمرنا ما نلقط هادي التلميحات ! نظل نشتغل على العلاقة لطلوع الروح ، حتى لو باين عليها من أولها إنها رايحة في ستين داهية ! عشان كده في النهاية ناكل على روسنا ونتهزأ . احنا اللي ما احترمنا نفسنا من البداية وانسحبنا بكرامتنا . تعطيها مشيل تحليلها المنطقي للموقف : - يا حبيبتي هاذي سياسة تطفيش معروفة عند العيال . تلاقينه فكر وقال وش يخليني آخذ واحدة مطلقة وأنا ما قد تزوجت ؟ إذا الرجال المطلق نفسه يدوّر على بنت ما تكون تزوجت قبله ، تبغين هذا يقتنع بمطلقة ؟ تلاقينه حسبها في مخه وقال بكرة أنا إذا بغيت أصير وزير والا وكيل وزارة يبغى لي واحدة تشرفني اسم وشكل ونسب ومركز اجتماعي وفلوس !ما آخذ واحدة معيوبة (مطلقة) علشان الناس تاكلني بألسنتها ! هذا تفكير شبابنا مع الأسف ! تلاقين الواحد مهما تطور والا ارتقى بفكره ومهما حب وعشق يظل يعتبر الحب مجرد كلام روايات وأفلام وما يثق في كونه دعامة تصلح لبناء أسرة ! تلاقينه مثقف ومتعلم وشايف وعارف ومتأكد بداخله إن الحب غريزة إنسانية طبيعية وما هو عيب إن الواحد يختار شريكة حياته بنفسه ما دام مقتنع فيها ، لكن يظل خايف إنه يسلك طريق غير اللي سلكه أبوه وعمه وجده قبله ، دامهم عايشين مع حريمهم إلى الآن أجل تجربتهم هي الناجحة والمضمونة ، يتبعهم زي الحـ......... ولا يخالفهم علشان ما حد يجي في يوم ويشمت فيه إذا فشل”

“Australasian's custom of speaking of England as "home." It was always pretty to hear it, and often it was said in an unconsciously caressing way that made it touching; in a way which transmuted a sentiment into an embodiment, and made one seem to see Australasia as a young girl stroking mother England's old gray head.”
― Mark Twain, quote from Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World
“I believe anyone could light a cigarette from the sparks that fly from your eyes!”

“So how ’bout you?” he asks.
“Me?”
“Um, yeah.” He grins. “Your name?”
“Oh, my name.” I smile. “Emily,” I say, surprised at how effortlessly it comes out. How easy it is.
“Emily,” repeats Teague.
He reaches out and removes a twig from my hair.
I don’t even flinch.
And you know, for a second, we just stare at each other.
Right there on the side of the road.
There’s this blissful stretched-out pause--
The birds are chirping.
The sun is shining.
It’s like the movies.
“So--” he says. “Where you coming from?”
“Oh, um--” I try to remember what Ava told me to say.
“California,” I blurt out.
It’s clumsy.
“Oh, I meant, where in town--but, you know, that’s cool. California, huh--” He nods and smiles brightly. “I was pretty certain you weren’t from here.”
As he talks, Teague walks over to my bike--Ava’s bike--and pulls it out of the ditch.
“Well, Emily from California--” He unscrews a knob and removes the entire back wheel from the bike.
“You’ve got yourself a flat.”

The Princess BrideBookQuoters 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.
