"Burning books is a crime, but no lesser crime is not to read them." This phrase Ray Bradbury has long been traveling the Internet. Many people know the author of the statement, but few know which book the phrase is from. This is not surprising, because such complete and complete proposals do not require a background context. Therefore, in the article we will consider catchphrases from books of different genres and authors, and try to understand why they are needed.
Do not give up!
During reading, phrases often come across that a person, without noticing it, remembers. Some quotes fascinate with the depth of wisdom, others astound the imagination with elegant stupidity, while others delight in their senselessness. But in each of them is hidden something valuable, something that a person can see and understand only after a while.
It cannot be said that phrases from books occupy a significant place in the life of the reader, but they give everyday life a bit of taste. Now there is a massive propaganda of self-development, career growth and the development of your own business, so you can often find quotes from books on psychology and motivation.
In particular, the book by Paul Arden “The important thing is not who you are, but what you are trying to become.” It is worth noting a few phrases from the work:
- “The right question will always be followed by the right answer.”
- "Do not give up! Raise the bar, do the impossible and do not think about the limits. The key to success is to do what is impossible. ”
- "By doing your own thing, you can rather create something eternal."
Each sentence encourages a person to go forward, breaking all boundaries. These phrases are simple, understandable, inspirational, so they can often be found on the Web.
From the world of fiction and fantasy
Phrases from books of a fantastic genre are less common, but this does not in the least diminish their significance. Take, for example, the words of the author A. Balabukh: “For ten thousand wise men it is known that this cannot be done. But at some point a fool appears who does not know this. He makes a big discovery. ” Or the phrase of R. Podpolny: "True friendship means a lot to a person, especially if he is in school." As you can see, regardless of the context of the work, phrases describe everyday life with ordinary human needs. To confirm this, a few more examples can be cited:
- “Amanita can be surrounded with care, but boletus will not grow out of it anyway” (L. Lagin).
- “Happiness is like a horizon that is impossible to reach. Happiness is a dream ”(G. Guryevich).
- “The most important thing in life is to engage in an honest battle with fate” (C. Vonnegut).
- “War is a profitable business. The first investment is a son ”(S. King).
Popular
Phrases from books of the fantasy genre also touch upon important topics, but practice shows that if a work has not become “TOP” or a bestseller, then quotes from it are unlikely to reach the general public.
For clarity, you can take the work of Haruki Murakami "Norwegian Forest." From the very first pages, the reader may get the feeling that he is viewing a news feed on social networks. And all because the famous writer of our time was quickly “dismantled” into quotes. There are many other famous authors whose works are literally dismantled according to the proposals. You can even make a list of the most popular phrases:
- “Love cannot be confused with friendship, end, so end” (E.M. Remarque, “Arc de Triomphe”).
- “Nobody knew what the rabbit was thinking at that moment, he was too educated” (A. Milne, “Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all”).
- “A person will always hate another who has the same flaws” (Oscar Wilde, “Portrait of Dorian Gray”).
- “It is difficult to forget about the pain and it is almost impossible to remember happy moments - joy does not cause wounds” (C. Palahniuk, “Diary”).
- “It is impossible to stop loving the one who died, especially if he was better than all the survivors” (D. Salinger, “The Catcher in the Rye”).
- “When it hurts, it hurts, there's nothing to be done about it” (H. Murakami, “Norwegian Forest”).
- “Continuing to fight even if you know in advance that you lost, this is courage. Going to the end, contrary to everything, it is impossible to win, but sometimes it happens ”(Harper Lee,“ To Kill a Mockingbird ”).
Popular words include quotes from books: “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Little Prince”, “Three Comrades”, “Gone with the Wind”.
Why are phrases needed?
Phrases from books can hardly be called useful or irreplaceable. They will not give vivacity in the morning, will not earn money, will not build a house. These are just beautiful words that help a person correctly formulate their thoughts.
In some cases, phrases help correct speech defects. Considered complete, requiring neither context nor explanation, they are the main catalysts for speech and intellectual development. Take, for example, "From word to phrase." The book was created for classes with non-speaking children. It was based on a methodology for the development of speech, which was based on a smooth transition from pronouncing sounds to building phrases.

The phrase is the largest phonetic unit with a beginning and an end. At any age, it is useful to have the ability to distinguish a phrase from a sentence. In addition, periodically reviewing famous quotes, a person learns to express his thoughts briefly and concisely, and this is already a lot. Often, such statements help to understand yourself, find motivation and inspiration.
