“Her mouth was perfect under his, her taste wrapping him up in addiction. He craved her the way others might drugs. The depth of his feelings shook him. The passion and love mixed together inside him, welling up like a volcano, consumed him.”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“Don’t use ‘tea’ and ‘manure’ in the same sentence or I’ll have to pound you into the ground.” “You’re such a baby,” Lexi said. “It’s science. You’re supposed to love science.” “I draw the line at foul-smelling llama-manure tea.”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“There’s danger in separating yourself from everyone, not wanting anyone to see inside of you where you’re vulnerable. We know the world isn’t safe and perfect like the fairy tales. But if you let it eat away at you, when that one comes along, that woman you know is going to make your world for you, you won’t see her, because you’re too busy hiding. I almost missed my chance with her.”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“My mother used to say, better the devil you know than the one you don’t. I say, if you’re living with the devil, kick him out and find something different.”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“Lissa slipped off the bed. “Don’t say it. Things happen in Sea Haven that can’t be explained, and I’m not tying myself to any man, let alone one of those Prakenskii brothers. Can you imagine my personality with a man like that? So domineering. I’d shove him off a cliff. You just can’t put something like that out into the universe and not have it come back and bite you in the butt.”
“My butt’s pretty small,” Airiana pointed out. She swept both hands through her thick hair, breathing deeply. She was beginning to feel normal again, although a residue of the nightmare had lodged in the pit of her stomach, leaving her with a vague uneasiness.
“Yes, it is. But I’m kind of curvy. Which means my butt is just big enough for fate to laugh its head off while it bites me. I’m not taking any chances.”

-Lissa & Airiana”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound



“You said you see patterns,” Lexi said. “What did you mean by that?”
“The day my mother died, I felt the wind on my face and I looked up at the clouds. I could see this amazing pattern forming, always moving, but immediately I knew something was very wrong. It was there, right in front of me. Who sees forecasts of danger or death in clouds?” Airiana pressed her fingers to her eyes. She had the beginnings of a wicked headache.
“You do, obviously,” Lissa said.

-Lexi, Airiana, & Lissa”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“So you don’t think I’m crazy because I see patterns all around me?” Airiana asked, drawing her knees up to rest her chin on top of them.
“No, I think you’re perfectly sane,” Blythe said. “A little mixed up, but that’s to be expected given what you’ve been through.”
“Let’s not go that far,” Lissa teased. “She’s got it in her head that we’re all going to find ourselves with a Prakenskii man in our laps.”
Lexi nearly spewed her tea across the room. “Don’t say that. Good grief, Lissa. This is Sea Haven. You can’t put something like that out into the universe and not expect repercussions.”
“It wasn’t me,” Lissa denied, holding up both hands. “Airiana said it first, and I told her the exact same thing.”

-Airiana, Blythe, Lissa, & Lexi”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“So they really put in a bid on the piece of property we’ve been salivating over for the last four years?” Airiana asked. “Well, Lexi’s been salivating over. I presume they plan on joining the two properties.”
“That’s the plan,” Lexi said. She couldn’t hide her smile and this time she didn’t try. “The soil is really good. There’s a very large section of forest that is just awesome as well. I’ve been talking to Thomas about possibly getting a few llamas. The manure is excellent for plants.”
Airiana groaned. “It’s too early in the morning to be talking about manure, Lexi, especially in such an enthusiastic tone.”

-Airiana & Lexi”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“Llamas? Really, Lex? For their manure?” Airiana asked as Lexi headed toward the door. “You weren’t kidding, were you?”
“There are studies done about concocting a sort of tea with their manure and using it on the plants . . .”
Airiana held up her hand. “Don’t use ‘tea’ and ‘manure’ in the same sentence or I’ll have to pound you into the ground.”
“You’re such a baby,” Lexi said. “It’s science. You’re supposed to love science.”
“I draw the line at foul-smelling llama-manure tea.”

-Airiana & Lexi”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“Damn it, woman,” he snapped. “Stop crying. Are you hysterical?”
“Maybe.” Her voice was muffled by the pillow and her hands.

-Maxim & Airiana”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound



“In his entire life he’d never had the inclination to gather a woman up, cradle her against his chest and rock her just to soothe her—until now.

-Maxim's thoughts”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“Tears swam in her sky blue eyes and his heart squeezed down like a vise. It took every ounce of discipline he possessed not to press his palm over his chest.
“Damn it,” he swore at her between clenched teeth. “Stop with the tears.” She had to stop. He felt a little desperate.

-Airiana & Maxim”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound


“I happen to know what family you come from, although I know I’m not supposed to know, and I’m certain you can manufacture proof of anything you want.”
“That’s true. I can. But I didn’t."

-Airiana & Maxim”
― Christine Feehan, quote from Air Bound

Popular quotes

“how one lie leads to another and before you know it, your whole life can be a lie.”
― Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, quote from Shiloh


“Teachers, parents, guidance counselors... all of them are always pushing this crap about how it's okay to be different, just be yourself. Don't give in to peer pressure, blah, blah, blah. The truth is, it's really only okay to be yourself if that self is within an accepted range of "normal." You like soccer instead of basketball, Johnny? Well, okay, I guess, so long as you still like sports. What's that, Susie, you want to wear the blue sweater instead of the red? You know we're all about expressing individuality here... so long as it's still a sweater.”
― Stacey Kade, quote from The Ghost and the Goth


“It's too easy, when you have unharnessed power at your fingertips to forget you're not invincible. To make rash decisions that can affect your whole future.”
― A.G. Howard, quote from Unhinged


Perhaps I am broken, he conceded silently, but broken bones heal stronger, and I will have my day in the sun.”
― Peter V. Brett, quote from The Desert Spear


“There was something heartbreakingly beautiful about the lights of distant ships, I thought. It was something that touched both on human achievement and the vastness against which those achievements seemed so frail. It was the same thing whether the lights belonged to a caravel battling the swell on a stormy horizon or a diamond-hulled starship which had just sliced its way through interstellar space.”
― Alastair Reynolds, quote from Chasm City

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.
