Quotes from The Black Stallion

“I believe that half the trouble in the world comes from people asking 'What have I achieved?' rather than 'What have I enjoyed?' I've been writing about a subject I love as long as I can remember--horses and the people associated with them, anyplace, anywhere, anytime. I couldn't be happier knowing that young people are reading my books. But even more important to me is that I've enjoyed so much the writing of them.”
― Walter Farley, quote from The Black Stallion

“You've never in your life seen a horse run so fast! He's all power-all beauty.”
― Walter Farley, quote from The Black Stallion

― Walter Farley, quote from The Black Stallion

“Its hold was loaded with coffee, rice, tea, oil seeds and jute. Black smoke poured from its one stack, darkening the hot cloudless sky. Alexander”

“...да обича и това, че човек един ден почва да разговаря и сам със себе си, че си приказва с кончето, с кучето, с котката и козата, но все пак най му е драго, когато си говори сам на себе си, най-напред тихичко, все едно че си играе на кино, оставя спомените като кадри от миналото да текат пред очите му, по-късно обаче, както бях направил и аз, почва и да си общува със себе си, да се съветва със себе си, да се пита, да си отправя въпроси, да изслушва отговорите им и да се стреми да открие в самия себе си онова най-съкровеното, като прокурор да отправя към себе си обвинения и сам да се защитава, и така, радвайки се, в разговора със самия себе си да стигне до смисъла на живота, не до онова, което е било и се е случило отдавана, а до онова, което предстои, що за път е този, който съм изминал и който още трябва да извървя, и изобщо, имам ли още време пред себе си, за да стигна в мислите си до онова спокойствие, което предпазва човек от копнежа да избяга от самотата, да избяга от ония най-съществени въпроси, за които човек трябва да има и сила, и кураж да ги поставя…?”

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.
