Quotes from The Dreamseller: The Calling

“Internet, jogos de video, computadores, são úteis, mas tâm destruído algo inviolável: a infância. Onde está o prazer do silência? Onde está a arte da observação? Onde está a inocência? Angustia-me que o sistema esteja a gerar crianças insatisfeitas e ansiosas. Fortes candidatas a serem doentes psiquiátricos e não seres humanos felizes e livres.”
― Augusto Cury, quote from The Dreamseller: The Calling

“Físicamente, vivimos más tiempo que en el pasado, pero la percepción del tiempo es mucho más rápida. Los meses corren, los años vuelan. Algunos están en la cumbre de su juventud psíquica, pero se miran y descubren que tienen setenta u ochenta años.”
― Augusto Cury, quote from The Dreamseller: The Calling

“La tristeza no desaparece, pero la desesperación debe ser contenida, pues no honra al que ha partido.”
― Augusto Cury, quote from The Dreamseller: The Calling

“Критиката наранява човека, а предубеждението го заличава”
― Augusto Cury, quote from The Dreamseller: The Calling

“Físicamente, vivimos más tiempo que en el pasado, pero la percepción del tiempo es mucho más rápida. Los eses corren, los años vuelan. Algunos están en la cumbre de su juventud psíquica, pero se miran y descubren que tienen setenta u ochenta años.”
― Augusto Cury, quote from The Dreamseller: The Calling

“Si piensas, entenderás que la culpa, los errores, las decepciones y las desgracias son privilegios de una vida consciente. ¡La muerte no tiene esos privilegios!”
― Augusto Cury, quote from The Dreamseller: The Calling

“It didn't look like the kind of snow that whispers down gently in the pit of the night and in the morning turns the landscape into a glittering wonderland of uncommon and ethereal beauty. It looked like the kind of snow that intends to make the world as bloody cold as possible.”
― Terry Pratchett, quote from Sourcery

“We need not deplore the renunciation of historical truth when we put forward rational grounds for the precepts of civilization. The truths contained in religious doctrines are after all so distorted and systematically disguised that the mass of humanity cannot recognize them as truth. The case is similar to what happens when we tell a child that new-born babies are brought by the stork. Here, too, we are telling the truth in symbolic clothing, for we know what the large bird signifies . But the child does not know it. He hears only the distorted part of what we say, and feels that he has been deceived; and we know how often his distrust of the grown-ups and his refractoriness actually take their start from this impression. We have become convinced that it is better to avoid such symbolic disguisings of the truth in what we tell children and not to withhold from them a knowledge of the true state of affairs commensurate with their intellectual level.”
― Sigmund Freud, quote from The Future of an Illusion

“If I can't wait for you at the end of an aisle on your wedding day, I'll wait for you in heaven.”
― Lurlene McDaniel, quote from Don't Die, My Love

“You have no control. Who lives, who dies, who tells your story.”
― Lin-Manuel Miranda, quote from Hamilton: The Revolution

“No rash decisions. No big commitments. Each day as it comes.”
― Lisa McMann, quote from Gone

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.
