“Just because you're the same kind doesn't mean you're all one happy family. The important thing is to understand each other. That's love!”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“.هناكَ شيءٌ ما يحدثُ في هذا العالم على الدوام . هناكَ كائنٌ ما يموت و آخر يولد. هناك فراقٌ و لقاءٌ في الوقت نفسه تقربياً. يعني ذلك أنه يستحيل علينا أن نحزن إلى الأبدِ”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“That's all there is to it. We look different, so we don't understand each other's inner thoughts, but we cherish each other in our own way. I respect you.”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“كانت حياتي قاسية, لكنني كنت سعيدة جدًا, وتمكنت من البقاء حية بسبب ذلك الحلم”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“تمكنت الفراخ من قبول بايبي بسرعة بالرغم من اختلاف ريشه عن ريشها”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“لا أدري لماذا حياتي صعبة هكذا. هل يحصل هذا معي لأن لدي حلمًا؟”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“كان المكان هادئًا رغم انتهاء حياةٍ غاليةٍ على قلبها. كانت الأشجار والنجوم والقمر و العشب كلها هادئة, وكأنها تتظاهر بأنها لم تشاهد أي شيء.”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“انت مختلفة عن دجاجة باحةالحظيرة. تبدين أكثر ثقة بنفسك, وأكثر مهابة. يا لغرابة ذلك لأن ريشك قد تساقط, لكن مظهرك يبدو أفضل”
― Sun-mi Hwang, quote from The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
“He just hoped Meg leading the way didn’t mean all the blood prophets would do strange things to their hair.”
― Anne Bishop, quote from Murder of Crows
“Hicke hade tagit liknande språng i hela sitt liv, språng undan faror, språng ut i det okända, språng utan skyddsnät. Hicke hade alltid litat på turen och på förvissningen om att världen i grund och botten var vänligt inställd till honom (s. 224, 226).”
― Cressida Cowell, quote from How to Twist a Dragon's Tale
“An unrivaled beauty, limited in its life. A beauty so extreme in its grace that it can’t last. It stays to enrich our lives, then drifts away in the wind. Never forgotten. Because it reminds us we must live. That life is fragile, yet in that fragility, there is strength. There is love. There is purpose. It reminds us that life is short, that our breaths are numbered and our destiny is fixed, regardless of how hard we fight.”
― Tillie Cole, quote from A Thousand Boy Kisses
“Of course not,” she snapped sharply. “How can you love ignorant, brutish people whom you don’t even know? Can anyone love filth and squalor? Or lice and rats? Who can love aching weariness, and carry on working, in spite of it? One cannot love these things. One can only love God, and through His grace come to love His people.”
― Jennifer Worth, quote from Call the Midwife
“While I would champion any campaign to support Muslim women who do not wish to cover. I would now also protest vigorously for the right of a woman to wear that covering, if it is what she wants and believes in. Ayatollah Khomeini and Jacques Chirac have much more in common than either of them would care to acknowledge. Each tried to solve overarching social problems by imposing his will on the bodies of women.”
― Geraldine Brooks, quote from Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women
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.
