“A double-edged sword
One side destroys
One releases
I am your Gordian knot
Will you release or destroy me?

Trapped by earth nevermore
Air will whisper to you
What spirit already knows:
That even shattered
anything is possible
If you believe
Then we shall both be free.”

About the author

Popular quotes

“That the woman in her had died in anguish and a vengeful man had been born in her place apparently brooked no notice of the universe. Nor had the universe even blinked in the absorption into itself of her tragedy.”
― Karen Kondazian, quote from The Whip

“I grow weary of the love
That lasts for a night
When it should be there
The next sunrise”
― Irum Zahra, quote from Psychaotic: See The World In Red And Black

“Начнем с того, что, на мой взгляд, только люди могут отделить сон от грез наяву. Будь ты львенком, медузой или папоротником — ты не отличишь бодрствование от сна. Мне кажется, что еще несколько тысяч лет назад люди тоже так считали. А потом появился человек, который разрушил замкнутый круг и раскрыл разницу между двумя мирами. Несколько сотен лет люди свыкались с мыслью, что жизнь наяву и мечта — две совершенно разные вещи. И этого бы не случилось без того, первого «Джереми».
А после произошло еще кое-что. Имея представление о мире мечты и реальной жизни, мы еще не подозревали о прошлом, настоящем и будущем. Был день, снова день, и день за ним.
завтра = вчера = сегодня = то же самое = всегда
Наверняка не обошлось без первопроходца, который совершил основополагающий скачок, — того, кто рассказал остальным о существовании места, где нас нет и где все не так, как мы привыкли. Из-за мысли о будущем жизнь людей изменилась. Их потомки стали жить по-другому, лучше. Мы научились прилагать ум к действию и усовершенствовали способы выполнения задач. И это людям открыл такой же человек, как Джереми.
А потом пришел еще кто-то и рассказал нашим предкам, что существуют не только жизнь и смерть, а еще и жизнь после смерти. Вещатель, Джереми. Мой сын был рожден сказителем, и теперь он решил переложить свою задачу на меня.”
― Douglas Coupland, quote from Eleanor Rigby

“Charlie and I believe our four criteria are essential if directors are to do their job — which, by law, is to faithfully represent owners. Yet these criteria are usually ignored. Instead, consultants and CEOs seeking board candidates will often say, “We’re looking for a woman,” or “a Hispanic,” or “someone from abroad,” or what have you. It sometimes sounds as if the mission is to stock Noah’s ark. Over the years I’ve been queried many times about potential directors and have yet to hear anyone ask, “Does he think like an intelligent owner?” The questions I instead”
― Warren Buffett, quote from Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders

“Every wall in Ethan's room was covered with images, making Alek feel like he'd stepped into a kaleidoscope.”
― Michael Barakiva, quote from One Man Guy

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.
