“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

“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

Popular quotes

“Are you in pain?"
"Nothing a whiskey and some tender female soothing will not alleviate."

She snorted. "I should spank you rather than succor you!"
He grinned roguishly, "As you deem just, my love. However, we should wait until the physician completes stitching me up."

She laughed, "Impossible!”
― Sharon Lathan, quote from Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One

“How I love Bangkok! It’s so teeming with everything that should be forbidden. I’m not just talking about the sex trade. I also mean the ways of driving, the ways of putting up buildings, environmental management arrangements, the continual attention of con artists and snatch-thieves, and the quaint local custom of peeing in side-streets.”
― John Dolan, quote from Everyone Burns

“I've missed so much. Like the day you opened your flower shop or how you came up with the name Whimsicality. I missed the day you brought Noah into this world and saw him for the first time. I missed your late-night cravings and his midnight feedings. I'll never forgive myself for not being there, Josie.”
― Heidi McLaughlin, quote from Forever My Girl

“Peabody, why don't I have any damn coffee?"

"I don't know, sir, but I will rectify that immediately."

Peabody popped up, was actually humming under her breath as she programmed the AutoChef. And there was a bright look in her eyes when she carried the coffee to Eve.

"Eat any good pizza lately?" Eve muttered, and the light in Peabody's eyes turned instantly to embarrassed guilt.

"Maybe. Just a slice ... or two."

Eve leaned in. "Ate the whole damn pie, didn't you?"

"It was really good pizza. I sort of, you know, missed the taste of it."

"No more humming on duty."

Peabody squared her shoulders. "No, sir. All humming will cease immediately."

"And no sparkly-eye crap either," Eve added and yanked open the door to look for Louise.

"You can look pretty sparkly-eyed after really good pizza, too," Peabody muttered, then decided not to press her luck when Eve snarled.”
― J.D. Robb, quote from Seduction in Death

“Y lentamente, de su oscuro miedo empezó a brotar algo que todavía no era felicidad, pero sí un asombro ante la diversidad de la vida.”
― Stefan Zweig, quote from Burning Secret

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.
