“If you were mine,” he murmured low under his breath, “I would walk through the fires of hell itself to keep you away from a man like me.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Ashes of Midnight
“Goddamn you. How can you still make me feel this way after all these years? Damn you for leaving me! And damn you for coming back like this, just when I thought you were gone forever and I might finally be able to forget you.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Ashes of Midnight
“Leaving you was the last thing I ever wanted to do.” He scowled, his grip holding her tighter, moving her farther into the heated wall of his body. “It was the hardest goddamn thing I’ve ever done. Ever, Claire.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Ashes of Midnight

“he settled back on the bed with her and wrapped her in his protective embrace, giving her a hundred solemn promises that he was very eager to keep, and loving her with all the reverence and worship of a blood-bonded male who had stared hell in the face and now understood that he was holding heaven in his arms.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Ashes of Midnight
“Fuck you very much, if you think we’re gonna let you do this on your own, Reichen.”

“He didn’t care that his voice and hands shook as he brought her closer. He was thoroughly unashamed of the depth of his feeling for this woman.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Ashes of Midnight
“Quería decirle: me siento solo, yo perseguidor, perro que ladra a la luna, pero no sé qué carajo me salía de la boca en lugar de palabras. Creo que tartamudeaba disparates, como ser: pureza, sagrado, culpa, hambre de magia. Llegué a convencerme de que había nacido equivocado de siglo o de planeta.”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from Days and Nights of Love and War
“An individual can be hurt in countless ways by other men's irrationality, dishonesty, injustice. Above all, he can be disappointed, perhaps grievously, by the vices of a person he had once trusted or loved. But as long as his property is not expropriated and he remains unmolested physically, the damage he sustains is essentially spiritual, not physical; in such a case, the victim alone has the power and the responsibility of healing his wounds. He remains free: free to think, to learn from his experiences, to look elsewhere for human relationships; he remains free to start afresh and to pursue his happiness.”
― Leonard Peikoff, quote from Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand
“Her eyes always had a frantic, lost look. He could never cure her eyes of that.”
― Charles Bukowski, quote from South of No North
“Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for, when there isn't the slightest sign of it in sight.”
― quote from The Game Of Life How To Play It
“Your father died for me, and dying with you would be an honor, though not as great as dying to save you.”
― N.D. Wilson, quote from Leepike Ridge
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.
