“Are those chocolate chip?'' Cole reaches her first and claims one.
''Oh, my godness.'' Nana sets the tray aside and coos the guy. ''Cole, dear, you have a boulder-size knot on your jaw.''
''River did it.'' Cole smirks at the guy. ''And he insulted my mom. And my dad.''
''River Marks.'' Nana shakes her head, as if her heart is acually breaking. ''How could you be so rough? And so insensitive!''
River glares at Cole before bowing his head. ''I'm sorry, Nana.''
''The human body is like a flower. Treat it well, and it will bloom.'' She approaches the ring and extends two cookies. River and I accept with eager thanks. ''Let's be kind to each other and keep our punches away from the face and groin.'' ''Yes, ma'am,'' we say in unison. Then of course, we devour the offering as if we've never tasted sugar.
''Good, good.'' She brushes the crumbs from her fingers. ''I'll leave you kids to your practice.'' She kisses Ali, then Cole, and leaves.
''Are you a rose?'' River sneers at Cole. ''Or a lilly?''
''Orchid. And your jealousy is showing.'' Cole responds.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from A Mad Zombie Party

“I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I'm not Justin Silverstone's biggest fan, but he's not a bad guy. Despite the mistakes he made in the past, he recently helped us destroy Anima from inside out. He's proven himself. And yet, the moment he put his arm around Camilla and turned on his megawatt smile, Ive wanted to open him up from navel to nose, just to play Operation. Same way I reacted when the waiter touched her.
I think I'm on my period.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from A Mad Zombie Party

About the author

Popular quotes

“La gente viola con sus sueños: viola la intimidad, viola el lenguaje con el que se expresa, viola esa imagen como mejor le parece. Cuántas veces he tenido sexo con gente en sueños y al día siguiente no me he atrevido ni a saludarla, pensando que en el “buenos días” se notará las “buenas noches que hemos pasado”. Quizá el mundo iría mejor si contásemos nuestros sueños eróticos a los que han sido protagonistas de ellos”
― Albert Espinosa, quote from Everything You and I Could Have Been If We Weren't You and I

“For the first time in my life, every day when I woke up I had clean clothes, and something to eat two, three times a day, as much as I wanted. Once I had that, I realized my revolution was over.”
― Dinaw Mengestu, quote from All Our Names

“Io e te. Siamo amici, vero? Ci conosciamo da meno di due settimane, ma abbiamo fatto parecchio sesso, e ho pulito il tuo vomito, e tu hai guardato le mie cicatrici e non hai girato lo sguardo. Immagino che queste cose ci rendano almeno amici.”
Quella conversazione stava mettendo Jimmy a disagio. Fece un passo indietro, e quando Shane avanzò, ne fece un altro, fino a che non si trovò con le spalle al muro. “Siamo amici,” disse piano. Fu strano pronunciare quelle parole.
Fu ricompensato dal sorriso di Shane. “E gli amici non tengono il conto. Si fa qualcosa per loro perché ne hanno bisogno o per farli felici, il che a sua volta rende felici noi, e quello è già uno scambio equo, magari nessuno te lo aveva dimostrato prima d’ora, ma avrebbero dovuto.”
― Kim Fielding, quote from Rattlesnake

“Choosing and then living with the consequences, that’s what deciding really is.”
― J.D. Horn, quote from The Line

“Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion.”
― Henry David Thoreau, quote from Walden and other writings

About BookQuoters

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.
