About the author

Popular quotes

“Weet je wat misschien het vreselijkste is van alle gezegden? "De tijd heelt alle wonden". Maar het is waar. Er blijft altijd een litteken, dat misschien pijn doet als het weer omslaat; maar de wond is op een dag geheeld. Als jongen van een jaar of acht ben ik eens gestruikeld met zon gebogen, puntig nagelschaartje in mijn handen, dat drong diep in mijn knie en ik weet nog precies hoe ik gilde van de pijn. Net als iedereen heb ik dus een litteken op mijn knie, maar ik zou je nu niet kunnen zeggen, op welke. Jij hebt beslist ook littekens, waarvan je je de wonden niet meer kunt herinneren. Daar zit toch iets afschuwelijks in. Dat betekent toch, dat die wonden er achteraf evengoed niet geweest hadden kunnen zijn.”
― Harry Mulisch, quote from The Discovery of Heaven

“I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”
― Marcus Luttrell, quote from Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10

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.
