“I wanted to tell him that you can meet someone and they can change your life forever, even if you have only known him for a short while, that when you leave, you're a different person than before you met him... and I undertstand that because of meeting Deni.”

“- A što se tiče Lucasa Bechaumpa, Samba, i on je homogen čovjek, izuzev onog njegovog dijela koji nastoji pribjeći čak ne onom što je najbolje u bijeloj rasi nego drugorazrednom - jeftinoj, traljavoj, nepoštenoj glazbi, prostom, lažnom, prcjenjivanom novcu bez pokrića, raskošnoj palači reklame podignutoj ni na čemu poput kuće od karata nad ponorom i svoj toj bučnoj zbrci političke aktivnosti što je nekoć bila naša nerazvijenija nacionalna industrija a sad je naša amaterska razbibriga - svoj lažnoj galami što je dižu ljudi koji je namjerno potiču i onda se obogaćuju na našoj nacionalnoj strasti prema osrednjosti: koji će čak i prihvatiti i ono što je prvorazredno pod uvjetom da je zagađeno i pokvareno prije nego što nam se servira: nama koji smo jedini ljudi na kugli zemaljskoj što se javno razmeću time da su drugorazredni, odnosno priprosti. Ne mislim pritom na takvog Samba. Mislim na onaj drugi njegov dio koji ima veću homogensot nego što je imamo mi i koju je dokazao ukorijenivši se u zemlju s koje je da bi mogao pustiti korijenje u nju morao doslovno istisnuti bijelca: jer je imao strpljenja i kad nije imao nade, dalek pogled i kad se na kraju nije ništa vidjelo i ne samo volju nego i želju da izdrži jer je volio onih nekoliko starih jednostavnih stvari koje mu nitko nije poželio oduzeti: ne automobil ni gizdavu odjeću ni svoju sliku u novinama nego samo malo glazbe (svoje vlasite), ognjište, ne svoje dijete nego bilo koje dijete, nekog boga, neko nebo koje čovjek može sebi malo priuštiti u svako doba a da ne mora čekati na smrt, malo zemlje da po njoj prospe vlastiti znoj među vlastitim zelenim ladicama i biljem. Mi - on i mi - morali bismo se udružiti: dati mu preostale privredne, političke i kulturne povlastice na koje ima pravo u zamjenu za njegovu sposobnost da čeka, izdrži i preživi. Onda bismo pobijedili; zajedno bismo vodili glavnu riječ u Sjedinjenim Državama; predstavljali bismo frontu koja bi bila ne samo neosvojiva nego koju ne bi mogla ugroziti čak ni masa ljudi koji više uopće i nemaju ništa zajedničko osim bjesomučne pohlepe za novcem i osnovnog straha od jednog nacionalnog neuspjeha koji kriju jedan od drugog iza glasnog iskazivanja počasti nekoj zastavi.”

Shadowhunters and Do...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.
