“إننى أعتقد، أنه من الأفضل لنا أن ندير ظهورنا بوضوح للكلمات الرنانة مثل "الجمال" و"الحقيقة" وما الى ذلك. هل ترين ما أرى؟ إننا سخفاء للغاية، وضعاف العقول عندما نتناول أمور الحياة،لكننا عمالقة عندما نحكم على الكون.”
― Lawrence Durrell, quote from Balthazar
“En cuanto a mí, aprendí una gran
lección con aquella victoria. Una lección
que Toni me había estado taladrando
desde hacía años, pero que hasta entonces
no había comprendido cuánto era cierta.
Aprendí que hay que perseverar siempre,
que por muy remotas que parezcan las
probabilidades de ganar, hay que pujar
hasta el límite de las propias fuerzas y
probar suerte. Aquel día en Melbourne me
di cuenta, con más claridad que nunca, de
que la clave de este deporte se encuentra
en la mente; y si se tiene la mente
despejada y fuerte, se puede vencer casi
cualquier obstáculo, incluido el dolor. La
mente pude vencer a la materia.”

“muffin earlier.” “A muffin.” He lifted his chin skeptically. “Well, that’s one plus in your favor. Helga got canned because she ate too much.” Maggie swallowed at the implication. “Helga?” “She was the nanny… what? A year. Year and a half ago. Something like that.”

Balzac and the Littl...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.
