“- Amerikanac zapravo ne voli ništa drugo osim svog automobila: ni ženu ni dijete ni domovinu čak mu ni bankovni račun nije na prvom mjestu (u stvari on uopće ne voli taj bankovni račun ni izdaleka toliko koliko to misle stranci jer on će potrošiti gotovo sav svoj novac ili baš sav za tako reći bilo što samo ako je dovoljno bezvrijedno) nego njegovo motorno vozilo. Jer automobil je postao naš nacionalni simbol seksa. Mi ne možemo pravo uživati ni u čemu ako se ne moramo bar jednu uličicu voziti do toga. A s druge strane cijela naša sredina i odgoj i obrazovanje zabranjuju nam sve što je kradomično i potajno. Zato se mi danas moramo rastaviti od supruge da bismo od ljubavnice otklonili i tako dalje. A kao rezultat toga američka je žena postala hladna i aseksualna; ona je projicirala svoj libido na automobil ne samo zato što njegov sjaj, njegove tehničke napravice i njegova pokreljivost udovoljavaju njezinoj taštini i nesposobnosti (zbog odjeće koju joj je nametnuo zemaljski savez trgovaca na malo) da hoda nego zato što je on neće izgnječiti ni raskuštrati niti je svu oznojiti i uznerediti. Zato da bi je uopće još nekako mogao osvojiti i potčiniti američki je muškarac morao usvojiti automobil. Makar zbog toga živio u iznajmljenoj štakorskoj rupi on ga mora on će ga ne samo imati nego i svake godine obnavljati da ponovno zadobije prvobitno djevičansto i nikom ga neće posuđivati, nijednoj tuđoj ruci neće dopustiti da ikad upozna posljednju vječito neoskvrnjenu i vječito požudnu intimnost njegovih pedala i poluga pa iako nema kamo ići s njim ili ako ima onda ne ide onamo gdje bi ga mogla nagrditi bilo kakva ogrebotina ili mrlja ipak svako nedjejno prijepodne provodi u njegovu pranju, mazanju i poliranju jer radeći to on miluje tijelo žene koja mu je već odavno uskratila pristup u svoj krevet.”
― William Faulkner, quote from Intruder in the Dust
“But witchy magic doesn’t listen to please and pretty please, and anyway, I didn’t really care. I only pretended to care because not caring makes me a monster.”

Far from the Madding...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.
