― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“...защото то, щастието, е известно най-вече със своята липса … не държа обаче да съм щастлив, животът е за предпочитане. Ужасна гадория е щастието, долна работа, на мен да ми се падне, ще му сменя физиономията.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Близвах си от сладоледа. Съвсем се бях скапал, а хубавите неща са най-готини, когато ти е скапано. Много пъти съм се уверявал, че е така. Точно когато ти се ще да пукнеш, шоколадът най-много ти се услажда.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“C'est pas nécessaire d'avoir des raisons pour avoir peur.”

― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“تف به هرچی هروئینی است. بچههایی که هروئین میزنند به خوشبختی همیشگی عادت میکنند. کارشان تمام است. چون خوشبختی وقتی حس میشود که کم بودنش را حس کنیم. آنهایی که از این چیزها به خودشان تزریق میکنند، حتما در جستجوی خوشبختی هستند و فقط احمقترین احمقها برای پیدا کردن آن، چنین راهی را انتخاب میکنند. من هرگز گرتی نشدم. چند بار با دوستانم ماریجوانا کشیدم. آن هم برای اینکه باهاشان همراهی کرده باشم و به هر حال، ده سالگی سنی است که آدم خیلی چیزها را از بزرگترها یاد میگیرد. اما من میل چندانی به خوشحالی نداشتم. زندگی را ترجیح میدادم.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Аз мисля, че живота трябва да го живеем в най-ранна възраст, защото после се обезценяваш и никой нищо не ти дава даром.”

“Много ясно си спомням този миг от живота си, понеже беше досущ като останалите.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Ma io non ci tengo tanto a essere felice, preferisco ancora la vita. La felicità è una bella schifezza e una carogna e bisognerebbe insegnarle a vivere. Non siamo della stessa razza, io e lei, e a me non me ne frega niente.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Писнало ми е от хора, дето все въздишат.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“از صاحب مغازۀ سگفروشی، اجازه خواستم که سگِ کوچولوی خاکستریِ موفرفریاش را ناز کنم. سگ را به من داد. سگ را گرفتم، نازش کردم و مثل برق زدم به چاک. اگر چیزی را خوب بلد باشم، همین دویدن است. بدون دویدن، در زندگی هیچ کاری نمیشود کرد”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“y me parece que el señor Hamil se equivoca cuando dice eso. Creo que los que mejor duermen son los injustos porque todo les importa un bledo, mientras que los justos no pueden pegar ojo y por cualquier cosa se dan mala sangre. Si no, no serían justos.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')

― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“«Hay que comer menos para adelgazar, pero eso es muy duro para una vieja que está sola en el mundo. Necesita más cantidad para sí misma que los demás. Cuando uno no tiene al lado a nadie que le quiera, empieza a criar grasa».”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Yo me cago en la heroína. Los chavales que se inyectan se convierten en adictos a la felicidad y eso no perdona, ya que a la felicidad se la conoce por sus estados de carencia.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Era tan feliz que hubiera querido morirme, porque a la felicidad hay que agarrarla cuando pasa. Estaba”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')

― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Добре ми беше, че си имам мадам Роза, но ако можеше и някой още пó така и пó за мен, няма да седна да се дърпам, мамка му. Пак щях да се грижа за мадам Роза, дори и да си имах истинска майка, за която да се грижа. Господин Н‘Да е с няколко жени и си ги гледа всичките.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')
“Мадам Роза казваше, че ако си мечтаеш много, по-бързо ще порастеш, и ръчищата на господин Боро сигурно цял живот са мечтали, такива грамадански бяха.”
― Romain Gary, quote from The Life Before Us ("Madame Rosa'')

"Oh, Susan, there is no such thing as a common day. EVERY day has something about it no other day has. Haven't you noticed?”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Anne of Ingleside
“I put the words into a flask and flung them out to sea. Flung them far out from me, made through myself, but not myself. Only a fool tries to reconstruct a bunch of grapes from a bottle of wine.
The world is packed tight with fools.”
― Jeanette Winterson, quote from Art and Lies
“You cannot be anything you want to be — but you can be a lot more of who you already are. The”
― Tom Rath, quote from Strengths Finder 2.0
“It's not easy being the Chosen One. Just ask Buffy Summers. Ask Harry Potter. And ask Zoey Redbird, the latest in this list of "lucky" candidates picked by fate to save the world from darkness- and oh yeah, find romance, keep their friends and maybe not flunk every class. In their spare time of course.”
― P.C. Cast, quote from Nyx in the House of Night: Mythology, Folklore and Religion in the PC and Kristin Cast Vampyre Series
“There come times in our lives when we do things that we don't understand. We confuse ourselves, we might even logically oppose our impulses, and yet we act on them anyway.
There are some things that we feel that we absolutely must do. We might know that they're wrong, or pointless, or gravely punishable, and yet we do them anyway. These actions are not born of anger or emotion - we are perfectly sober. It's rather inexplicable. When the time comes, we can't stop ourselves, and so we cannot blame ourselves.”
― Isamu Fukui, quote from Truancy
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.
