“But when tomorrow came, the children had more than bread and milk, as you will soon see.”
― Gertrude Chandler Warner, quote from The Boxcar Children


“But...you're not passing out, you're just sleeping? There's a difference."
I yawn again. "Just sleep. Maybe I just need a nap."
He nods into my hair. "You did look tired today after school."
"You can put me on the couch now."
He doesn't move, just keeps rocking me. Staying alert is a slippery slope right now.
"Galen?"
"Hmm?"
"You can put me down now."
"I'm not ready yet." He tightens his hold.
"You don't have to hold-"
"Emma? Can you hear me?"
"Uh, yes. I can hear fine. I just can't see-"
"That's a relief. Because for a minute there, I thought maybe you didn't hear me when I said I'm not ready yet."
"Jackass."
He chuckles into my hair. "Go to sleep."
It's the last thing I remember.”
― Anna Banks, quote from Of Poseidon


“She thought of herself as his strength; in a world of shadows, the indisputable reality to which he could always repair. And, again, for all that had come, she could not regret this. She had tried, but she had never been and was not now, even tonight, truly sorry. Where, then, was her repentance? And how could God hear her cry?”
― James Baldwin, quote from Go Tell It on the Mountain


“What's the matter Jaimy? Ain't-cha never seen a girl before?
-Jacky Faber”
― L.A. Meyer, quote from Bloody Jack


“مؤسف أنك غير قادر على الكلام. كنا سنحاول فهم ذلك معا. ما الذي جعل دون فرويلان يحتفظ بولاء كلبي لتروخييو؟ لقد بقى مخلصا حتى النهاية، مثلك. فهو لم يشارك في المؤامرة، ولم تفعل ذلك أنت أيضا. واصل لحس يد الزعيم بعد تبجحه في باراهونا بأنه ضاجع زوجته. الزعيم الذي جعله يلف ويدور في أميركا الجنوبية، ليزور بلدانا كوزير خارجية للجمهورية. وينتقل من بوينس آيرس إلى كاراكاس، ومن كاراكاس إلى ريو أو برازيليا، ومن برازيلبا إلى مونتيفيديو، ومن مونتيفيديو إلى كاراكاس، لمجرد أن يواصل الزعيم مضاجعة جارتنا الجميلة باطمئان.


انها صورة تحاصر اورانيا منذ زمن طويل، تسبب لها الضحك والسخط. صورة وزير الدولة للعلاقات الخارجية في العهد وهو يصعد ويهبط من طائرات. ليجوب العواصم الأمريكية الجنوبية. منصاعا لأوامر مستعجلة تنتظره في كل مطار، لكي يواصل ذلك الطريق الهستيري. مزعجا الحكومات بذرائع فارغة. وكل ذلك من أجل ألا يعود إلى مدينة تروخييو بينما الزعيم يضاجع زوجته. وهذا ما يرويه كراسويلر نفسه. أبرزكتاب سيرة حياة تروخييو. أي أن الجميع كانوا يعرفون ذلك. ودون فرويلان نفسه أيضا.


أهناك ما يستحق كل ذلك يا أبي؟ أكان الوهم بالتمتع بالسلطة؟ أحيانا أفكر أن لا. وأن الازدهار كان أمرا ثانويا. وأنكم في الحقيقة. أنت، وأرالا، وبيتشاردو، وتشيرينوس، وألفاريث بينا، ومانويل ألفونسو، كنتم تستلذون التلوث بالقذارة. وأن تروخييو قد أخرج من أعماق أرواحكم ميلا مازوشيا، ككائنات تحتاج إلى من يبصق عليها، يهينها، لأنها بالتحقير تجد ذواتها.”
― Mario Vargas Llosa, quote from The Feast of the Goat

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.
