“Be that as it may, a gentleman doesn’t continue to press his
attentions on a lady who can’t return them.”
“Then, as I see it, you have two problems, my lord,” Harry said.
Tony’s eyes narrowed.
“One, that the lady does, in fact, return my attentions, and two”—Harry turned to meet the earl’s
gaze—“I am no gentleman.”

"Stop!"
"What?"
Men could be so obtuse. "Do I look like I've just been tumbled?"

"This one." She squeezed [his] arm.
The vicar inspected [him] and sniffed. "Doesnt look that much different from the other one."

“Now, I don’t know if you can appreciate this without actually knowing her, but getting Mrs. Stricker to laugh is like getting an octopus to stand up on two legs.”
― James Patterson, quote from Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life

“لقد شكل الإنسان ويشكل يوميا نظاما ذاتيا يجرده من هويته, وهذا ليس سوء فهم للتاريخ يصعب تفسيره, او انحراف لاعقلاني او نتيجة لارادة شيطانية عليا قررت لأسباب غير معروفة أن يتعذب فصيل من البشر. يمكن أن يحدث هذا, وهو جائز لأن الإنسان الحديث يمتلك سمات معينة تجعله يشكل هذا النظام أو على الأقل يتحمله. يبدو انه يحمل في طياته شيئا يعد مثل هذا النظام امتداد له أو انعكاس له ويتفق معه. يحمل شيئا يبطل كل محاولة لتحفيز "الأنا الجيدة".
الإنسان مجبر على العيش في الكذب, لكن مجبر على ذلك لأنه قادر على حياة كهذه. فليس فقط النظام هو الذي يحول الإنسان ونفسه, بل الإنسان المنفصل عن نفسه هو الذي يدعم هذا النظام وكأنه مشروعه البديهي, وكأنه صورة منحطة لانحطاطه, وكانه دليلا على فشله.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless

“The Buddha isn’t a god or deity to be worshipped. He was a rebel and an overthrower, the destroyer of ignorance, the great physician who discovered the path to freedom from suffering. The Buddha left a legacy of truth for us to experience for ourselves. The practices and principles of his teachings lead to the direct experience of liberation. This is not a faith-based philosophy, but an experiential one. The point of the spiritual revolution is not to become a good Buddhist, but to become a wise and compassionate human being, to awaken from our life of complacency and ignorance and to be a buddha.”
― Noah Levine, quote from Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries

For black children, incarceration is an especially common family circumstance. More than 1 in 9 black children have a parent in prison or jail, a rate that has more than quadrupled in the past 25 years.”57 Not”
― Christopher L. Hayes, quote from Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy

“you never really could know how much trouble until it was too late and you loved them enough not to care about the consequences.”

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.
