“- Имам къща – каза човекът, който бе забелязал движението на Жакмор и се усмихваше. – Дават ми храна. Дават ми злато. Много злато. Но нямам право да го харча. Никой нищо не иска да ми продава. Имам къща и много злато, но трябва да преглъщам срама на цялото село. Те ми плащат, за да имам угризения вместо тях. А всички злини и мръсотии, които вършат. За всичките им пороци. За всичките им престъпления. За пазара на старците. За изтезаваните животни. За чираците. И аз боклуците.
Той спря за миг.
- Но това не е интересно за вас – продължи той. – Да нямате намерение да оставате тук?
Последва дълго мълчание.
- Да – отвърна Жакмор. – Ще остана тук.
- Тогава ще станете като другите – каза човекът. – Вие също ще си живеете със спокойна съвест и ще хвърляте върху ми вашия срам. И ще ми давате злато. Но нищо няма да ми продавате срещу него.”
― Boris Vian, quote from Heartsnatcher


“The cottages are full of life. It's incredible to think they are filled with people who know nothing of computerised technology, nor even running water, sewage systems or electricity. And yet here they live. Surviving.”

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.
