“وضع قدمه على الأرض الروسية وهو يرتدي قبعته الصغيرة وقميصه النظيف المهترئ وسترته البالية. جيش مؤلف من شخص قصير شاحب وأعزل. وكان يقف ضد الأرض الروسية الشاسعة والموجيك الأشرار والأرستقراطيين المعربدين والكهنوت ذي القوة الطاغية، والحصون والقصور والسجون والقوانين القديمة والأخلاق القديمة والسوط. الإمبراطورية القديمة المدججة بالسلاح. هناك وقف بقبعته الصغيرة، وبعينيه المنغوليتين الدقيقتين اللتين تحدقان بثبات في الجو بينما كان في داخله شيطان يرقص ويصفر وهو يصر بأسنانه وبتكلم: هذا كله لك يا فلاديمير اليتش. إنني أهبك إياه مجاناً. يكفي أن تقول عبارة واحدة. قل العبارة السحرية التي كنت أمليها عليك طوال تلك السنين الطويلة: "يا عمال العالم اتحدوا!" قلها وعندها فإن القياصرة والقساوسة ذوي اللحى العنزية والجدائل الذهبية والكروش المتخمة والأنيقة، بنفخة واحدة سيتساقطون على أقفيتهم. امش على جثثهم يا فلاديمير اليتش. إلى الأمام يا فتى، دس على جثثهم واصعد. ركز العلم الأحمر على الكرملين. حطم جماجمهم بالمطرقة واقطع أعناقهم بالمنجل!
وراح لينين يسأل وهو يصغي إلى شيطانه الداخلي بقبضتين مشدودتين "من أنت؟ قل لي اسمك. أريد أن أعرف من أنت"
"أنا المعجزة" أجاب الشيطان ونطح روسيا بقرنيه.”

The Street LawyerBookQuoters 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.
