“Love is never supposed to hurt. Love is supposed to heal, to be your haven from misery, to make living fucking worthwhile.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Love can destroy you.
Love can erase you.
Love can heal you.
Love can reinvent you,
And, if you are lucky enough,
Love can make you whole again.
That's what Cathy has done to me.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Love is infinite. There is no beginning and no end. There's no starting point and no finishing line. Love just is. Love is born, grows, matures, and sometimes it dies. But the memory will remain with you for the rest of your breathing hours. You will fall in love, you will fall out of love. But you will love again. You always do.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“I want to believe every single lie of hers so I can gladly continue living in denial. I love her that fucking much.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Falling in love with the wrong person is easy. Falling in love with the right person is easier. But falling in love with your soul mate is easiest.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Really, lies are so easy to tell when you don't care anymore, or when you have lost all shame. That is my truth.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“They say being in love and loving someone are two different things, right? I mean, you love your best friend, but you love your husband, right? Falling in love with someone is easy. It's loving when the newness has worn off, when life gets tough, when things get in the way, when physical passion is gone, that true love remains. When love can conquer it all.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Cathy, meeting you was chance, falling in love with you was destiny, and loving you is my reason to exist.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“If only I had known that it takes a lot more than love to make a marriage work, then maybe our story would be different.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“He's the beautiful painkiller that my broken body and my shattered heart demand to stop hurting.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Sometimes not being in control, not being able to think, just losing yourself in the moment, is the greatest feeling in the world. It's liberating. It's addicting. It's the most powerful high you'll ever get. It's a kind of freedom that tastes so sweet on your palate that you can't help but want more each time you have it.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Ignorance is bliss, right? Well, knowledge is misery. And the truth hurts.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“My beautiful girl, you healed me. You made me believe in love again, and I love you. So fucking much.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Life without love, without chasing your dreams, is nothing. It means nothing. It's a sad fucking empty shell, Catherine. It's so easy to drown in darkness, to let it smother you, swallow you whole, to be blinded by it. But you gotta fight. You gotta fucking fight.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“I'm sure of a few things in life...no matter what you do, death will always catch up to you. You've got to work hard to pay for life, party harder to enjoy life, and love hardest to live life, and now, you.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Jealousy is such a potent threatening emotion. It doesn’t just eat you alive—it eats you from within. It’s venom that spreads in your bloodstream, polluting you, killing you. It corrodes you until there’s nothing left.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“I didnt fall in love. I walked smack into it and then fell flat on my ass”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“There's no room for selfishness when you have a defenseless human being depending on you.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“When you fall out of love, it doesn’t mean that you stop loving someone. They just don’t make your heart beat faster. You don’t crave them until you don’t know where they end and you begin. I don’t know that I ever fell out of love with Ben, but I do know that I fell in love with Arsen along the way. Or maybe I confused fucking and lust for love. I don’t know. I don’t think I will ever know.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Own me, fill me, break me, repair me, complete me. Do whatever you want to me. Just stay with me. I need you. I need to be able to live. I need my life back, I need you back.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Miracles are the consequences of daring to believe. And I dare you to believe in us again, Ben. I dare you to.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“The essence of her drives me fucking insane because there's nothing as sweet as the taste of your woman on your tongue. In this moment she is mine.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Missing you is a sickness I can’t cure, and it’s fucking killing me.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“I know what it’s like to lose what you love the most, but life goes on, and you must not lose hope, you know? Without hope, living can become a fucking nightmare.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“You know what? Let’s have the fucking truth. I’ve heard your pathetic excuses, how about you hear me out now? Let me tell you something, Cathy, I hope you’re happy because Arsen may own your heart, your body, but you’ll always be empty because I own your fucking soul. Your soul is part of mine and it always will be. I will heal, I will learn to love again, but you…I pity you.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“I want you in the worst possible way. You’re the drug that offers me relief…that energizes me again…that soothes me…that delivers me sweet oblivion. You’re my drug of choice, Catherine. You’re my addiction. My euphoria.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“They got their happy ending. That’s the only reason why I can make myself walk away, make myself say goodbye to my girls, even though it kills me that I’m not the reason behind their smiles. And I will never be.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“Even when the horizon seems to be bleak and full of pain, we must learn to fight and persevere because the rewards of those tears of struggle
mean that you get to live your life once more.”
― Mia Asher, quote from Arsen: A Broken Love Story
“I can see why people think love is like a drug. You can’t get enough of it.
You need more.”
Asher, Mia. “Arsen A Broken Love Story.” ”

“I could have chosen to hide it all and retain your praise but it was still there rustling in my gut with or without your love.
To hate me for my truth means you loved me for my lies.”
― Juls Amor, quote from THE YEAR OF THE FROG
“Always remember you have been given the power to forgive any offense, and in so doing, remove it from your awareness as far as the east is from the west. True Vision is his gift, allowing you to see no blame; forgiveness is your truest purpose in the life. Seventy times seven, always leaving the old self in a watery grave and rising to find no fault. That's grace, that's true baptism and that's good news...”
― Ted Dekker, quote from Water Walker
“During his sweet sleep, there was an angelic creature and in her eyes a look of joyous elation that filled Kevin’s mind with anticipation of her possible existence in the real world. This freckle-faced vision with her wild mane of untamed blonde curls nightly left an unexplainable ache in his soul. In his dreams, she would appear to him as a mirage of hope. He could feel the love in her heart, for it seeped through her very essence into the air between them. She lay next to him in the grass as they quietly observed the sky above. Her hand seemed to be always just out of his reach. Kevin wanted to hold her hand so badly it was torturous. Her hand was just about touching his but not quite. Then her fingers brushed a path across his fingertips as if to say in the exquisite beauty of the moment, “I will always be right here.”

The SatyriconBookQuoters 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.
