Of gray. And grayer. And black.

“ОМОНИМИЧЕН КАЛАМБУР
Време (къде ли се време?) за обед. От качилите (наистина бяха откачили те!) се пътници автобусът беше препълнен. Видях сред тези хора (видях с ред тези хора или видях сред тез и хора, или видях с ред тез и хора???) нещо интересно – много забавен младеж (много за бавен млад еж?): шия като жираф, на главата (аз ли шия като жираф нагла вата?) – шапка и плитка (колко плитка?) на шапката. Почва (на каква почва?) този да се кара на един католик отзад (като лик отзад?), че го ръга като дъска за гладене (а нима това дъска за гладен е?). Но като забеляза (за беля за какво?) свободно място, отиде да търси подслон (но какво да търси под слон?).
Не помня по календар (по-кален дар!) коя дата беше, но след това (беше ли с лед това?) пак видях споменатото (кой спомена тато?) момче на гара (и кой видя нагара?) Сен Лазар. Негов другар (не го в друг ар слагайте!) гореше (защо ли го реше?) от желание да му даде съвет относно (как да го разбираме това “от нос, но…”?) едно копче.”
― Raymond Queneau, quote from Exercises in Style
“Knowledge was more powerful than fear. Love was stronger than hate.”
― Lauren Myracle, quote from Shine
“But I did not bring the Wild Boy to England simply so he could learn from us. I also brought him here so we could learn from him; so we can remember what it means to be young- to be innocent. You are still young now, but there will come a time when you will be grown-up, and it is easy, so easy, to forget how precious, how dear, life is. Then you forget to smile, to laugh, to cry, to dream. I hope knowing Peter will help you to hold on fiercely to your own innocence, to live joyfully, even in the midst of difficult times.”

NevermoreBookQuoters 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.
