“Love?' he asked himself, giving no sense of recognition for that word in the dictionary of his mind. It was the only battle he had lost in life, the only thing that had been snatched away from him, before he could even claim it.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“Love never comes with a brochure of rules and regulations, a prospectus with guides of what is acceptable and what is abominable. It’s a standard to follow your heart, and that’s what I did and if doing that hurt you, then I’m sorry… sorry for coming in your life and wasting your time, for causing you an anguish so great that you could not bear the sight of me. Today, I am proud to stand up and honour myself and proclaim to the world… yes, I loved someone more than myself. I loved someone truly, madly, deeply!”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“That night it did not rain as much in the sky as it did in his heart.”

“Walking alone is not difficult but when we have walked a mile worth a thousand years with someone then coming back alone is what is difficult.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“Perhaps that is the real surprise of love; it exists, but one may not attribute causes and effects to it. The existence may appear to be a mere fallacy to the minds of some, and by the time they realise what hit them, they would already be down and dead.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“There is not much left to see in this world if one sees her once.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“I didn't know that there was a thin line between ignorance and arrogance.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“Silence has its own language and in that silence he found words within himself; words for her, words for him and words for them.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“If a man cries in front of you, it doesn't mean he's weak. It means that he trusts you enough to let his guard down.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“It was like watching a movie being played on the blank screen of his mind; the only difference was that he did not get bored, no matter how many times he watched it.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“If not towards his case to give him glimpses of what could be a happy future, it stayed back at least to warrant her happiness, stayed back with the pain that strangely didn’t hurt anymore.”

― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“Her features were dainty, her small slender wrists climbed up to become the delicate shoulders that beckoned him. Her skin was like peach-tinted cream and he need not have touched her to experience the melting softness of her body. Her perfectly oval face was austere and her manner a little haughty. Her expressions had delicacy as well as a particular strength that did not abate her femininity. It seemed that the world had stopped. Her voice sounded like a melody and she looked like a dream, an illusion, up close and personal.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“He decided that for an ounce of that laughter, he could sacrifice an entire lifetime of happiness.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“I eyed her like a thirsty traveler in the desert looks at a pail of water.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“Fate, they say, fate- the clay that molds the events of your life, and it was the same fate that had thrown the stone of her heart on the building of his expectations. But then wasn't it his fault that he had constructed the building of glass? Hadn't he failed to cement the bricks of his love with trust and colour them with security? There was no insurance for broken hearts, no ointment for wounded souls and there would never be one, he knew.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“An obstreperous urge seized him. he desperately wanted to hold on to her, to support his slipping heart, and when it slipped away, he realized she had gone away, incarcerating herself in his thought with her smile and unblemished innocence.”

“He stopped his act to take a snapshot of that instant he would so treasure- her delightful laughter that could make him do anything, anything at all, in the world and beyond!”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“The flush on her pale cheeks was like the blush of sunset on snow.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply

― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“He noticed that she threw away the crumbled bus ticket on the street as soon as she got down. He picked it up and put it in his pocket along with his own a memorabilia of their first date together, just like a strand of her hair he would find later on his shirt and the broken pen cap that she would go on to search in the laboratory and so many other such small things which he would collect.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply
“He got up slowly, not bothering to curse himself for forgetting the stop where he had to disembark. He was not used to leaving things behind; he wondered how the bus stop escaped.”
― Faraaz Kazi, quote from Truly, Madly, Deeply

“… Poor little old human beings—they’re jerked into this world without having any idea where they came from or what it is they are supposed to do, or how long they have to do it in. Or where they are gonna wind up after that. But bless their hearts, most of them wake up every morning and keep on trying to make some sense out of it. Why, you can’t help but love them, can you? I just wonder why more of them aren’t as crazy as betsy bugs.” —Aunt Elner, 1978”

Gods in AlabamaBookQuoters 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.
