“What’s that?” he asked.

“A picture of my mom,” I said, opening his ice-cold hand and putting the frame in it gently.

“But Apron,” Chad said. “I can’t see.”

“I know. But it’s not for now. It’s for when you get there, so you can find her.”

Chad tapped his finger on my mom’s cheek. “Does she look like you?”

I thought about it hard enough for Chad to take in another long breath. “A little bit,” I said.

“Not quite as pretty?”

“Well,” I said. “You’ll have to see for yourself.”

Chad raised his eyebrows. “I’ll find her, Apron. I promise. If you promise me something, too.”

I nodded, but then remembered he couldn’t see me. “What?”

“Don’t stay sad. Remember our poem. What it means. Promise?”
― Jennifer Gooch Hummer, quote from Girl Unmoored


“O Ocean, you remind me somewhat of the bluish marks one sees on the battered backs of cabin boys.”
― Comte de Lautréamont, quote from Maldoror = Les Chants de Maldoror, together with a translation of Lautréamont's Poésies


“4 :
...
الحقيقة هي السيد ، ..
و الحقيقة هي اسمه و كلامه ،
مع حب غير محدود

الناس يتضرعون و يصلون :
(اعطنا .. اعطنا)
و المعطي العظيم يعطيهم هداياه

فما التقدمة التي نستطيع وضعها أمامه ،
بعد كل هذا ، كي تشفع لنا في محكمته ؟


ما هي الكلمات التي نستطيع قولها
لاستحضار حبه ؟
...

في وقت السحر ،
بساعات اللذة الروحانية فيما قبل الفجر
أنشد اسمه
و تأمل عظمته و مجده
...
بواسطة الكرمة
(Karma)
حصلنا على هذا الرداء من الجسد المادي ..،
و بنعمته عثرنا على بوابة التحرر

اوه ناناك ، نعرف هذا جيدا:
الواحد الصحيح .. هو نفسه .. الكل

*****
*(الكارما هي مجموعة من تصرفاتنا السابقة في حيوات و تجسدات اخرى ، و التي ربما أدت الى اعادة تجسدنا مرة اخرى ، و عدم تحرر ارواحنا من التجسد كما يعتقد المؤمنين بها، و يعتقد السيخ بامكانية تحرر ارواحنا من التجسد بواسطة نعمة الله الحق)”
― Guru Nanak, quote from Sri Guru Granth Sahib


“Sometimes he thought they were all forsaken, every soul on this earth.”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale


“You drive like a maniac,” I said through clenched teeth.
“That’s not the only thing I do like a maniac, Brooke.” His hand moved away from the steering wheel and settled on my thigh.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Surrender Your Love

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.
