“Sam found a chair under Robin’s butt and evicted him from it, bringing it over to his pregnant wife.“Sorry, I wasn’t thinking,” Robin apologized.
“Thanks,” Alyssa said to Robin as she sat down, even as she gave Sam a darkly amused look.
“What?” he said. “I was just helping him think.”
― Suzanne Brockmann, quote from All Through the Night
“She smiled at him, the way she always did, even when he woke up at oh-what-the-fuck-hundred.”
― Suzanne Brockmann, quote from All Through the Night
“Here." Sam came over, stripped down to his boxers. "Hunch forward and put your head down."
Robin looked at him. "My safe word is monkey.”
― Suzanne Brockmann, quote from All Through the Night
“When both men had their shirt off, as they did right now, it was like living in an Abercrombie & Fitch ad- a six-pack celebration, complete with triceps and biceps galore.
No doubt about it, Dolphina loved her new job.”
― Suzanne Brockmann, quote from All Through the Night
“Robin didn't like that idea very much-Jules spending time with Adam? "I get jealousy too, you know. You used to be in love with him."
Jules turned his head to look at him. "That was before I knew what love really was". He smiled. "When I met you, Robin, God.... I had to redefine everything. You know, there was this country song my mother really liked. It used to annoy me, I was in my technopop phase, but lately I just... I find myself thinking about the lyrics all the time. That was a river, this is the ocean.... I thought I loved Adam, and I did, but... it wasn't even close to this incredible ocean that I feel for you".”
― Suzanne Brockmann, quote from All Through the Night
“Tell her we don’t bite.” “I don’t lie to my friends.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Tangle of Need
“En ocasiones, las personas hechizadas llegan a un punto en el que, o bien logran ahuyentar a los fantasmas, o los fantasmas los destruyen. Lo que empeora más esto, incluso, es el hecho de que normalmente no funciona el intentar sacar a rastras a los fantasmas y confinarlos en un lugar donde ya no puedan dañarnos. Creo que, por lo general, sólo los propagamos cuando intentamos hacer eso. Se puede hacer una copia, o transmitir una parte infinitesimal del fantasma, pero la mayor parte se queda enterrada tan profundamente en tu mente que jamás se mueve de allí.”
― Caitlín R. Kiernan, quote from The Drowning Girl
“Good Lord, Jeeves! Is there anything you don’t know?’ ‘I couldn’t say, sir.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, quote from The Inimitable Jeeves
“In the land of the free you are free to say whatever you want, regardless of whether you have anything to say.”
― Claire North, quote from Touch
“The world is made up of two classes - the hunters and the huntees.”
― Richard Connell, quote from The Most Dangerous Game
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.
