“If you were mine, I would never be able to walk away from you. If you were mine, I'd worship every inch of your body with my hands, lips, and tongue. If you were mine, I wouldn’t be able to stand in the same room as you without running my hands over your skin and tasting your lips. If you were mine…”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“I’m scared because I love you so much sometimes it’s hard to breathe.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“He looks at you like you’re the key to his soul and like he wants to devour you.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“I don’t give a fuck who can hear us, Garrett said angrily. This one’s for me.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“I don't give a rat's ass what Garrett's favorite color is. And for the record, I have a vagina, so I'm well aware of the fact I can look hot without looking slutty.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“He wanted to drown in her and shout at the top of his lungs that she was his. It was always her, only her.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“But if you were given the chance to go back, to tell the truth instead of lie to save someone’s life and their feelings... would you?”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“You hate birthdays yet pee your pants over presents. There is clearly something wrong with you," Garrett joked.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“You wouldn't know what the fuck to do in a dangerous situation if your life depended on it. And it would, little one.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“I didn't want to miss out on a chance to congratulate you on your bouncing baby boy.” Garrett’s eyes trailed over to Milo who stood tall with an arrogant smile on his face next to his father. “I’m not sure on the protocol over here, though, is it customary to celebrate bastards?” Garrett’s comment hit the mark just like he knew it would. The smile was wiped from Milo’s face, and he stalked right up to Garrett and threw a punch at his jaw.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“She swore she would never let someone take so much of her heart and soul that it would wither away to nothing once they were gone. She gave up on the dream of finding someone to consume her mind, body, and soul. It only ruined you in the end. It only left you broken and unable to live.”
― quote from A Beautiful Lie
“Als sie die linke Tür des Fahrerhauses erreichte, die halb offen in festgerosteten Scharnieren hing und durch deren Fensterrahmen, der einer leeren Augenhöhle glich, sich Ranken schlängelten, zuckte wieder ein Blitz herab und färbte die ganze Welt purpurrot. In seinem grellen Licht sah Trisha jenseits der Straße etwas stehen, etwas mit hängenden Schultern, mit schwarzen Augen und großen aufgestellten Ohren, die wie Hörner aussahen.”
― Stephen King, quote from The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
“Corrigan told me once that Christ was quite easy to understand. He
went where He was supposed to go. He stayed where He was needed. He
took little or nothing along, a pair of sandals, a bit of a shirt, a few odds and ends to stave off the loneliness. He never rejected the world. If He had rejected it, He would have been rejecting mystery. And if He rejected mystery, He would have been rejecting faith.”
― Colum McCann, quote from Let the Great World Spin
“Most people would not open a door unless they knew what lay beyond, and even if they opened the door by mistake, they would find an uninteresting room beyond.”
― Trudi Canavan, quote from The Novice
“she’s not pretty, that word is too small. She is not like the girls I used to stare at, all bend and curve and softness. She is small but strong, and her bright eyes demand attention. Looking at her is like waking up.”
― Veronica Roth, quote from Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene
“It had been three weeks, four days and twelve hours since I'd seen her. Since she'd torn my heart out. If I had been drinking, I'd blame it on the alcohol. It had to be an illusion, a desperate one. But I hadn't been drinking. Not a drop. There was no mistaking Blaire. It was her. She was actually here. Blaire was back in Rosemary. She was at my house.”

IsmaelBookQuoters 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.
