Quotes from The Memory Artists

“Но има два вида интелигентност, както казва майка ми - на ума и на сърцето...
Най-свестните хора, които съм срещал, притежават нещо, което Норвал няма: интелигентност на сърцето. Доброта, щедрост, търпимост, приемане на слабостта.”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“Не забравяй, че понякога преследването на разумното е също форма на лудост.”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“Scientists can talk about human nature,but only poets can free those feelings we keep in the pent heart”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“At the top of the heap is poetry,at least as it used to be written.Nothing else goes far,nothing goes as deep n the blood and soul.Shakespeare surpasses Beethoven because he had sound and meaning.Always remember that as you get older.Poetry is in the emprean,TV is in the pit”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“So why was the goddess of Memory linked with artistic creation,you may well ask"
"Because for the Greeks creativity wasn't associated with the idea of producing something new-as it is today.The artist built upon, or reworked, the great intellectual and cultural achievements of the past.
So a great memory,you see, was considered a key part of creative activity- it gave the artist more material to draw upon, as well as a richer, more complex intellect. When James Joyce said ' I invented nothing, but I forgot nothing either," I think he was referring to exactly this sort of thing. ”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“... за него животът беше търсене на съкровище, а светът - пещерата на Аладин.”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“Ако искаш да видиш дъга, трябва да изтърпиш дъжда.”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“Единствената разлика между живота в коловоз и гроба е в дълбочината.”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“Меланхолията се отразява добре на изкуството.”
― Jeffrey Moore, quote from The Memory Artists

“will not tell you one single solitary fact about my work, my friends, or the woman I was arrested with. But I will tell you this, René Bordelon. You’re a gullible fool. You’re a terrible lover. And I hate Baudelaire.”
― Kate Quinn, quote from The Alice Network

“The problem, as I see it, are the twin human creations of marriage and religion. It is marriage and religion that make copulation complex and hurtful. Marriage brings up notions of trust, cuckoldry and ownership, while religion makes certain kinds of intimacy sinful.”
― Matthew Reilly, quote from The Tournament

“Coming home is hard." Ven said.
"It shouldn't be" Daleina said. "They love me. I love them. It should be easy."
"Once you leave, it's never easy again. Or at least it's never the same. You're not the same. You can't expect them to be.
She nodded. "Sometimes they feel like strangers. And still, I'd die to protect them.”
― Sarah Beth Durst, quote from The Queen of Blood

“But these—they weren’t case updates so much as letters, the kind you wrote to someone you knew so well you could imagine them beside you, even when they were across an ocean, living out another life.”
― Brittany Cavallaro, quote from The Last of August

“Hayatta yalnız kalmanın esas olduğunu hâlâ kabul edemiyor musunuz? Bütün yakınlaşmalar, bütün birleşmeler yalancıdır. İnsanlar ancak muayyen bir hadde kadar birbirlerine sokulabilirler, üst tarafını uydururlar; ve günün birinde hatalarını anlayınca, yeislerinden her şeyi bırakıp kaçarlar. Halbuki mümkün olanla kanaat etseler, hayallerindekini hakikat zannetmekten vazgeçseler bu böyle olmaz.”
― Sabahattin Ali, quote from Madonna in a Fur Coat

About BookQuoters

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.
