“… и като закрих лицето си с ръце, за да се спася неизвестно от какво, наддадох адски вик. Вик, който сигурно съм носила в себе си, и с този вик, толкова широк, че едвам мина през гърлото ми, от устата ми излезе едно съвсем малко нещо, почти нищо, като хлебарка, направена от слюнка… и това малко нещо, почти нищо, което беше живяло толкова време вътре в мен, беше моята младост, която излетя с този вик, който не ми беше ясно какво е… Безпомощност? Някой докосна ръката ми, обърнах се , без да се стряскам, един стар човек ме попита дали съм болна и чух, че отварят балконска врата. Не се ли чувствате добре? Приближи се една старица и старецът и старицата застанаха пред мен, а на балкона имаше някаква бяла сянка. Мина ми – отвърнах. Дойдоха още хора, идваха бавно, като дневната светлина, казах им, че ми е минало, няма нищо, това са нерви, нищо, никаква опасност… И отново тръгнах да вървя, да се връщам назад. Старецът и старицата, обърнах се да ги видя, бяха останали на същото място и ме следваха с очи и на слабата светлина, която вече се беше появила, изглеждаха недействителни… Благодаря. Благодаря. Благодаря. Антони години наред ми благодареше, а аз никога не съм му благодарила за нищо, Благодаря… На ръба на тротоара на улица „Гран“ погледнах нагоре и надолу дали не идват трамваи и пресякох тичешком, а когато стигнах на отсрещната страна, пак се обърнах да видя дали ме следва онова малко нещо, почти нищо, което така ме бе подлудило.Вървях сама…”
― Mercè Rodoreda, quote from The Time of the Doves


“And then you run. Because the only thing worse than her being gone is that you're still here.”
― Tricia Rayburn, quote from Siren


“But I believe we all fall in love for some esoteric and simple reason: the first time a man comes to your rescue, the way he holds you when you kiss, his smile that has you endlessly daydreaming. I'm not sure the reason you fall is as important as the fact that you have indeed fallen.”
― David Cristofano, quote from The Girl She Used to Be


“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”
― Virginia Woolf, quote from A Room of One's Own / Three Guineas


“Sometimes I feel like relationships consist of telling your same life stories to different people until someone finally appreciates them.”
― Kate Rockland, quote from Falling Is Like This

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.
