“Their lips met with a tender and powerful force. At that point, they melted into each other and Seth felt a flush of sensations over his entire being. Hands wandered naturally, and each caress became more exciting and pleasurable. Where the body ended and the soul began was a mystery in this ancient game of combinations.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“The FDA and the EPA are supposed to be protecting us, not the people who make the poison.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“He felt teenage rejection overcoming him like a childhood virus that lies dormant, then attacks the unsuspecting adult. It would never be something he would get used to.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“You will always be a puppet on someone else’s line if you don’t care enough about the big picture to let your tiny voice be heard. When it is combined with the tiny voices of millions of others that is the real power.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“Society tends to stick labels on everything and everyone. The label that is given to you will stick with you for a lifetime.”

― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy

― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“If you knew when your last day of life was going to be, it was the best place to spend your last night on earth, because in Russia people party like tomorrow will never come.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“Sometimes one man must fight for what he feels is right, even against the majority. Something that is wrong does not change to right just because the majority approves it, ignores it, or the government says it is right. It is still wrong.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“The sensation was an explosion of feelings, leaving in its place a pleasured memory of that moment. That, thought Seth, was pure heaven”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy

― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“Seth discovered that night that he had two extra stomachs; one for vodka and one for overeating.”

“There was a chemical solution to all of America’s food needs, which had been whittled away for years and years and honed down with precision to train the public that everything they needed to put on the table for their family came in a box, bottle or can.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“He was a playboy type in his late 30’s, and a sharp dresser, tonight being no exception. Dave wore a designer sports jacket and chic designer jeans; not at all what you would expect from an FBI agent’s undercover expense budget. His wife (or whoever she was), Julia, was a conservative dresser, with more of what you would expect an FBI agent to be wearing. She had mousy brown hair, spoke in nasal tones, and was somewhat frumpy; not much to look at. They went together about as well as Brad Pitt and a den mother from Davenport Iowa.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“Leave it to a woman to notice all of the little details that men often ignore.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“When I left, Mr. Chairman, I had the constitutional right to freedom of speech. Has that right been stripped from the American people while I was gone?”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“I think you know how it works, Senator. The big chemical companies fill the coffers of one of your colleagues who is a lawmaker from an agricultural state such as, well, let’s take Iowa, for example, and the lawmaker recommends the president to install industry executives in high positions, such as the head of the FDA or the EPA, and, this way, the industry can approve its own products without safety testing.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“He was smart, but he had to be smarter. No points for second place.”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“Politicians were famous for double-speak and were consummate liars. That’s why George W. Bush had to be their favorite president. It’s easier to commit a fraud when the actor believes his lie to the point of a conviction”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy
“Seth’s clock had been set on survival so long that he didn’t realize that he was starving himself of an essential element of being, that of having fun”
― Kenneth Eade, quote from An Involuntary Spy

Kiss Me, JudasBookQuoters 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.
