Books' quotes

Here are some awesome quotes that I have gotten from some of the books I've read:

The history of love (Nicole Krauss):

"The truth is the lie I invented so I could live."

"When the eye sees something beautiful, the hand wants to draw it. I wish I could draw you."

"There are so many ways to be alive, but only one way to be dead."

Persuasion (Jane Austen):

"She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older -- the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning."

The gargoyle (Andrew Davidson):

"Die Liebe ist stark wie der Tod, hart wie die Hölle.” Der Tod scheidet die Seele vom Leibe, die Liebe aber scheidet all Dinge von der Seele."

Meister Eckhart, deutscher Mystiker
Predigt: “Êwige Gerburt”

“Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell.” Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.

Meister Eckhart, German mystic
Sermon: “Eternal Birth”

“The mouth is the front gate to all misfortune.”

“The Lord allows no accidents.”

“Certum est quia imposibile est.” – “It is certain because it is impossible.”

“Quod me nutrit, me destruit.” – “That which nourishes me also destroys me.”

“God is a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”

“Why me?”… “There is no reason. A moment of bad luck, with lifelong consequences.”

“Dû bist mîn, ich bin dîn:
Des solt dû gewis sîn;
dû bist beslozzen in mînem herzen,
verlorn ist daz slüzzelîn:
dû muost och immer darinne sîn.”

“You are mine, I am yours:
you may be sure of this.
You’ve been locked inside my heart,
the key has been thrown away;
within it, you must always stay.”

“It is always interesting to listen to the bargains if those who have nothing to offer.”

“I’m not a hero in soul and never will be, but I am better than I was. Or so I tell myself; and for now, that is enough.”

“How do you dare to think you know my heart, when you don’t even understand your own?”

“Everyone’s past, is nothing more than the collection of memories they choose to remember.”

Midnight Sun (Stephenie Meyer):

“Love doesn’t always come in convenient packages.”

“As long as I was on my way to hell – I might as well enjoy the journey.”

“Your existence alone was excuse enough to justify the creation of the entire world.”
