“Deep down, even the oldest man in the world refuse to learn from his own mistakes, I thought”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Cursed graze that burns; cursed mind that never stops thinking. Mirrors that don’t lie; doubts that torment; dictators who torture every hope on the rack. The crossroads approach, and it makes my head spin; we choose the path that allows us to sleep; we reject the tempting loophole. Lose yourself within the eyes of the one who deceives, or find yourself within those of the one who still loves you. The uncertainty of what hasn’t been experienced versus the certainty of the already expired. Merge the experiences; the game is as controlled as a fire. Feel the heat; feel the cold. Wager, then, on your own defeat.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“No. That you shouldn’t deny a reality just because you don’t have the evidence for it yet.”

“If something is true, the evidence will appear,”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“you shouldn’t deny a reality just because you don’t have the evidence for it yet.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Mi madre me explicó una vez que el duelo tiene cinco etapas y que ella ayudaba a sus pacientes a pasar por todas ellas sin que ninguna se convirtiese en patológica. Recuerdo que esas etapas eran la incredulidad, luego la rabia. No me acuerdo de la tercera y la cuarta, pero la última era la aceptación.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Lo peor de la muerte es a los que deja vivos.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“A veces los días nacen prometiendo besos y abrazos. A veces estos besos y abrazos llegan, y no puedes reprocharle nada al día, pero no son de ningún modo como tú los esperabas. A esos días solo puedes pedirles un poco más, y por suerte ese deseo es siempre concedido: que mueran cuanto antes y que llegue un nuevo día.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“When people are left without any goals, they need time to reorder their priorities and fill the void their obsession has left in their thoughts and routine.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“We are whatever time we have remaining.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Yet again in life, I was wrong. Not even the passage of millennia makes you infallible.”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“We are whatever time we have remaining.” —José Manuel Caballero Bonald”
― Eva García Sáenz, quote from The Immortal Collection
“Sometimes the day dawns with the promise of cuddles and kisses. Sometimes that promise is fulfilled and you can’t reproach the day, even if it turns out to be nothing like what you were expecting. You can only ask one small thing from those sorts of days, and luckily that request is always granted: that they end as soon as possible, and that a new day arrives.”

“When a man really tells the truth, the first truth he tells is that he himself is a liar.”
― G.K. Chesterton, quote from What's Wrong with the World
“O what auailes it of immortall seed
To beene ybred and neuer borne to die?
Farre better I it deeme to die with speed,
Then waste in woe and wailefull miserie.
Who dyes the vtmost dolour doth abye,
But who that liues, is left to waile his losse:
So life is losse, and death felicitie.
Sad life worse then glad death: and greater crosse
To see friends graue, then dead the graue selfe to engrosse.”
― Edmund Spenser, quote from The Faerie Queene
“They held the funeral on the second day, with the town coming to look at Miss Emily beneath a mass of bought flowers with the crayon face of her father musing profoundly above the bier and the ladies sibilant and macabre; and the very old men - some in their brushed Confederate uniforms - on the porch and the lawn, talking of Miss Emily as if she had been a contemporary of theirs, believing that they had danced with her and courted her perhaps, confusing time with its mathematical progression, as the old do, to whom all the past is not a diminishing road but, instead, a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches, divided from them now by the narrow bottle-neck of the most recent decade of years.”
― William Faulkner, quote from A Rose for Emily and Other Stories
“Después de todo ¿dónde no hay infierno?”

“a man of knowledge has no honor, no dignity, no family, no name, no country, but only life to be lived, and under these circumstances his only tie to his fellow men is his controlled folly. Thus”

BloomBookQuoters 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.
