“Обичам те много - казах аз. - Обичам теб и този миг, и лятото, което ще отмине, и този пейзаж, и раздялата, и за първи път през живота си самия мен, защото целият съм твое огледало, отразявам те и така двойно те притежавам.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon

― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“لو أستطيع الآن استحلاف الذاكرة ألا تظن أنني سأطلب منها أن تبقي هذه الليلة في ذاكراتي كما أراها الآن .. ألا تظن أنها يجب أن تحيا في داخلي على هذا النحو مادمت حيا ؟”

“Isterijos ir baimės apimti žmonės seka paskui lozungus, nepriklausomai nuo to, kas ir kieno vardu juos skelbia, jei tik rėksnys pažada masei prisiimti sunkią mąstymo naštą ir atsakomybę už tai, ko ji bijo, bet negali išvengti.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“أريد هيلين بعطرها و ثيابها، بالسرير و بالغروب. تمنيت لو أستطيع بسط نفسي عليها كلحاف و لو كانت لي آلاف الأيدي و آلاف الأفواه، تمنيت أن أصبح عدسة مقعرة كاملة أستطيع فيها أن أحسها أينما وجدت و من دون فراغات”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon

“Гледах го да върви по улицата надолу с куфара в ръка, окаяна фигура, образа на вечния рогоносец и на вечния любещ.
Ала от цялата галерия тъпи победители не бе ли той притежавал по-дълбоко човека, когото обичаше? И какво притежаваме в действителност. Защо е тази врява около неща, които в най-добрия случай са само взети за известно време назаем; и защо са тези брътвежи за това, дали ги притежаваме повече или по-малко, след като измамната дума „притежавам“ означава само: да прегърнем нищото?”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“الأشخاص الذين أحبهم بعمق أكثر من صورة هؤلاء المنتصرين الأغبياء؟ ماذا نمتلك في الحقيقة؟ ولماذا هذا الصمت حول أشياء لا يمكن أن تزهر إلا إذا نظرنا إليها كإعارة لبعض الوقت؟ لماذا هذه المقولات كلها حولها؟ وما أهمية النقاش حول قوة أحد في امتلاكها إذا كانت كلمة امتلاك لا تعني سوى احتضان الهواء؟”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“Wir leben im Zeitalter der Paradoxe. Zur Erhaltung des Friedens führen wir Krieg”

“Haß ist eine Säure, die die Seele auffrisst, ganz gleich, ob man selbst hasst oder gehasst wird ”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“Sie wissen, dass Zeit ein sehr dünner Aufguß des Todes ist, der uns langsam zugefügt wird wie ein harmloses Gift. Anfangs belebt es und lässt uns sogar glauben, wir seien fast unsterblich - aber wenn es Tropfen um Tropfen, Tag für Tag um einen Tropfen und einen Tag stärker wird, verändert es sich in eine Säure, die unser Blut trübe macht und zerstört. Selbst wenn wir versuchen wollten, mit den Jahren, die wir noch haben, die Jugend zurückzukaufen, so könnten wir es nicht, die Säure der Zeit hat uns verändert, und die chemische Verbindung ist nicht mehr dieselbe, es müsste denn ein Wunder geschehen.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“Po danu Lisabon ima nečeg naivno teatralnog što privlači i očarava — ali je noću grad iz bajke koji se sa blistavo osvijetljenim terasama spušta ka moru, kao neka nagizdana žena što se naginje ka svom tamnoplavom ljubavniku.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, quote from The Night in Lisbon
“Blind Gods! Hear my words. If there is truth in my art, let what I say be true eternally. The sweat and blood of Naga women built this city, but you banished them. From today, may no woman feel safe in this city. May corrupt and evil people forever rule this wretched place. May every man be possessed with lust – for woman, money, position, prestige, and power. May each man fight another. May brothers butcher brothers and rape their own sisters. Every time a woman steps outside her home, may she feel the fear of violation. Let this be the asylum of evil men and woman. May the high and mighty ever fear for their lives and live in self-imposed jails for security. May the ruled despise their rulers and may the rulers fear the ruled. May this be a city of graveyards. May invaders from across the borders ransack the city repeatedly, changing the roles of oppressor and oppressed without end. May invaders plunder the city of her wealth again and again. May this be a city without trust, a city of anger and violent passions. May the blood of holy men fall here. May her citizens pollute this sacred river, making it into a sewer. May the air be poisonous and the streets filthy and crowded. May this city be damned forever.”
― Anand Neelakantan, quote from Ajaya: Roll of the Dice
“21 And they shall pass through it hardly bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.”

“Tyler was just like any other girl now. She was manipulative and greedy. She was a witch in fucking sexy high heels.”

“You found me," he said.
"You didn't hide very well. And I'm a PI.”
― Ilona Andrews, quote from White Hot
“Benjamin’s expression turned regretful. “You’re right. I’m sorry.” Jason couldn’t believe his ears. His younger brother was actually apologizing for something. “I appreciate that,” Jason finally said.”
― John O'Riley, quote from Inheritance
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.
