“Кой запали този пожар? Кой изравни със земята тези овошки? Кой разстреля тези братя, които през целия си живо са се смели? Кой уби сарпанча? Кой счупи пръстите му? Кой счупи пръстите му? Кой счупи ръцете му? Кой счупи древния му врат? Кой окова тези мъже? Кой направи така, че мъжете да изчезнат? Кой разстреля тези момчета? Кой разстреля тези момичета? Кой събори тази къща? Кой събори онази къща? Кой събори тази къща? Кой събори онази къща? Кой уби този младеж? Кой удари по главата тази старица? Кой наръга тази леля? Кой разби носа на онзи човек? Кой разби сърцето на онова младо момиче? Кой уби този влюбен? Кой застреля годеницата му? Кой изгори костюмите? Кой натроши мечовете? Кой изгори библиотеката? Кой опожари шафрановото поле? Кой изколи животните? Кой изгори кошерите? Кой отрови оризищата? Кой уби децата? Кой бичува родителите? Кой изнасили онази жена с мързеливо око, докато тя крещеше за змийска отмъстителност? Кой изнасили онази жена отново? Кой изнасили онази жена отново? Кой изнасили онази жена отново? Кой изнасили онази мъртва жена? Кой изнасили онази мъртва жена отново?”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from Shalimar the Clown
“Without the infinite personal God, all a person can do, as Nietzsche points out, is to make systems. In today's speech we would call them gameplans. A person can erect some sort of structure, some type of limited frame in which he lives, shutting himself up in that frame and not looking beyond it.”
― Francis A. Schaeffer, quote from How Should We Then Live? The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture
“She'd pushed it down, crushed it beneath the weight of stubborn determination, but still it haunted her at night, when such terrors shamble from their dens to torment innocent insomniacs.”
― quote from Thief's Covenant
“Though frankly… Tarnapol, as he is called, is beginning to seem as imaginary as my Zuckermans anyway, or at least as detached from the memoir-ist – his revelations coming to seem like still another “useful fiction,” and not because I am telling lies. I am trying to keep to the facts. Maybe all I’m saying is that words, being words, only approximate the real thing, and so no matter how close I come, I only come close.”
― Philip Roth, quote from My Life as a Man
“Uncle Feather came to town, Flying in the blue sky. Yellow nose and yellow legs And he belongs to me oh my . . .”

The Fire Next TimeBookQuoters 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.
