“Sometimes an understanding silence was better than a bunch of meaningless words.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“I'm afraid to love you. I'm afraid that you'll leave and that I'll go back to being alone again. Only it will be a hundred times worse because I'll know what I'm missing. I can't…” He sucked in a shaky breath. “I want to be able to love you more than I fear losing you, and I don't know how. Teach me, Bree. Please teach me. Don't let me destroy this.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“I lost my heart to you. And, Bree, in case you're wondering, I don't ever want it back.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“Try to believe that maybe more light shines out of those who have the most cracks.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“I stand by my logic though. I think love is a concept, and each person has an individual word for what sums it up for them. My word for love is Bree.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“I knew I loved her – fiercely and with every part of my heart, even the broken parts, even the parts that felt unworthy and without value. And maybe those parts most of all.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now, but I thought if I sat on your porch, you wouldn't be scared. You wouldn't be alone.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“Bad things don't happen to people because they deserve for them to happen. It just doesn't work that way. It's just… life. And no matter who we are, we have to take the hand we're dealt, crappy though it may be, and try our very best to move forward anyway, to love anyway, to have hope anyway… to have faith that there's a purpose to the journey we're on.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“You brought the silence,
The most beautiful sound I’d ever heard.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“...not all great acts of courage are obvious to those looking in from the outside.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“I'm here for you. I'm here because of you. I'm here because you saw me, not just with your eyes, but with your heart. I'm here because you wanted to know what I had to say and because you were right...everyone does need friends.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“My eyes moved over his face. 'Why did you do it?'
He was silent for a couple beats, looking down, taking his bottom lip between his teeth before he brought his hands up and said, 'I don't know.' His expression turned thoughtful, his eyes meeting mine, and then he continued. 'When you were in the trap, I couldn't speak to you to reassure you. You can't hear me...I can't help that.' He looked down for a second and then back up at me. 'But I want you to see me.' An expression of vulnerability washed over his face. 'Now you can see me.”
― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“Bad things don't happen to people because they deserve for them to happen. It just doesn't work that way. It's just... life”

― Mia Sheridan, quote from Archer's Voice
“I don't know ho to do any of this. You deserve better than the nothing I have to offer you. But it hurts even more to think of letting you go”

― Émile Zola, quote from The Ladies' Paradise
“Right now he was nothing but a physically hurt man who had been through hell and back, clinging to his promise. “We be... together. More than just... few... hours. Wanna die... with you. Not... alone.” Fought to stay awake, needed to spend every second with Vadim while he could.

― Aleksandr Voinov, quote from Special Forces - Soldiers
“In a new plant for even established processes or products, there will probably be a shake-down period of six to eight weeks that will prove rather expensive. It takes this long to get the equipment adjusted to the required operating efficiency and to weed out the inevitable "bugs" that seem to occur in breaking in modern intricate machinery.”

The Girl In Times Sq...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.
