Mum.
I don't believe it.”

“He says everything like it happened to someone else.”
― Brent Runyon, quote from The Burn Journals

“Вот, помню, когда мне стукнуло двадцать лет — тогда я был невозможно одинок. И день рождения был уныл. Пришел ко мне Юрий Петрович, пришла Нина Васильевна, принесли мне бутылку столичной и банку овощных голубцов — и таким одиноким, таким невозможно одиноким показался я сам себе от этих голубцов, от этой столичной — что, не желая плакать, заплакал… А когда стукнуло тридцать, минувшей осенью? А когда стукнуло тридцать — день был уныл, как день двадцатилетия. Пришел ко мне Боря с какой-то полоумной поэтессою, пришли Вадя с Лидой, Ледик с Володей. И принесли мне — что принесли? — две бутылки столичной и две банки фаршированных томатов. И такое отчаяние, такая мука мной овладели от этих томатов, что хотел я заплакать — и уже не мог… Значит ли это, что за десять лет я стал менее одиноким? Нет, не значит. Тогда значит ли это, что я огрубел душою за десять лет? и ожесточился сердцем? Тоже — не значит. Скорее даже наоборот; но заплакать все-таки не заплакал… Почему? Я, пожалуй, смогу вам это объяснить, если найду для этого какую-нибудь аналогию в мире прекрасного. Допустим, так: если тихий человек выпьет семьсот пятьдесят, он сделается буйным и радостным. А если он добавит еще семьсот? — будет ли он еще буйнее и радостнее? Нет, он опять будет тих. Со стороны покажется даже, что он протрезвел. Но значит ли это, что он протрезвел? Ничуть не бывало: он уже пьян, как свинья, оттого и тих.”
― Venedikt Erofeev, quote from Moscow to the End of the Line

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.
