“Tink, you are the best thing that's ever happened to that kid. I don't care if he only has one day left with you or twenty, you just keep doing whatever you're doing until you have to go, and I will forever worship the ground you walk on. Because a little slice of heaven is better than none at all.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“Ten snorted. “Like I want to hold your damn kid.”
“Hey!” I spun to deliver him a nasty glare. “Watch your mouth around my daughter, fuck face.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“You’re the best man I’ve ever met, Patrick Ryan. Thank you for choosing me.”
I kissed her hard. “I’ll always choose you.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“You don't even know what your mere presence does to me. You're my sanity.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“Oh, don't you smile at me with that milky grin, you lucky shit. There's no need to rub in it. I know where that mouth's been."
"Pick!" I rolled my eyes. He sent me an innocent glance.
"What? He's clearly rubbing it in.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“Excuse me? Are you saying I’m not flirt-worthy? You know, I am almost already down to my pre-pregnancy weight, and my breasts are like twice the size they normally are. Any other heterosexual man on earth would totally hit on this right now.”
“Tink, you are the most flirt-worthy girl I know,” Pick spoke up … “Get yourself something to eat. Then come back and sit by me. I’d be happy to hit on you.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“I think I’m going to like you, Pick Ryan.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“He caught my hip, steadying me. “This’ll change everything,” he broke away from my mouth to say. “Once I’m inside you, you’re mine, I’m yours, and we are together. There will be no friendship and mild dating. It’s going to be all or nothing.”
I gazed up into his eyes. “Then make me your all.”
His eyes heated. “You always were.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“Kissing you, wanting you, just being here with you while I’m legally bound to another woman…that’s not what I should be doing. I won’t want to belong to her in any way when my heart is yours.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“I held my son up so that we were facing eye to eye. "We need to have words, young man. You can't keep doing this. Waking up before Daddy gets his boom-boom is just not cool.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“With a relenting sigh, she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me before nipping my jaw with her teeth. ''You know I won't leave. You had me at 'bullshit.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero
“Sounds like you still need to learn the parts of a woman, Pick said. Next time you guys are together, don't be afraid to explore. She won't mind. If you're touching, licking, kissing, and nibbling on every little place you go, she'll actually appreciate it. Trust me. Get down there at eye level with everything and just . . . look around. Test it out with your tongue. She'll let you know what she does and doesn't like.”
― Linda Kage, quote from Be My Hero

“I don't go after him. He's a funny sort of boy. I've known that from the start. Not just because he seems angry and contemptuous or the way he walks like a tough guy. Because of his smile - it's a child's smile.”
― Delphine de Vigan, quote from No and Me
“Чувствах жарта вътре в мозъка си, разпалена и червена. Фий, поилки, хранилки, гълъбарник, кошници, курешки – всичко по дяволите! Бояджийска стълба, тръстика, топка сяра, гушести, червени очички и червени крака - всичко по дяволите! Паунест, качулат, монахиня, гълъбчета и гълъбища – всичко по дяволите! Таванска стая – само за мен, дупката на тавана – да се затвори, столовете – в таванската стая, край на разходките на гълъбите из къщата, кошът с прането - на терасата, прането – простряно на терасата. Кръглите очи и острите човки, перушината, преливаща от розово в ябълково- всичко по дяволите! Майката на Кимет, без да иска, ми беше показала изхода… Започнах да тормозя гълъбите, докато мътеха. Използвах, докато децата спяха следобед, качвах се на терасата и измъчвах гълъбите. Таванът на терасата беше като фурна, цялото сутрешно слънце се събираше на покрива и го нажежаваше, а сгорещените гълъби и вонята им го превръщаха в ад.”
― Mercè Rodoreda, quote from The Time of the Doves
“It was as if Simon had become my nightlight; even when he wasn't with me, he was illuminating the world so that I no longer feared it.”
― Tricia Rayburn, quote from Siren
“Tears of joy are so much easier to stop.”
― David Cristofano, quote from The Girl She Used to Be
“Sheakspeare'in zamanında bir kadının onunki gibi bir yeteneğe sahip olması mümkün değildi. Çünkü Sheakspeare gibi dahiler çalışan, eğitimsiz, alt sınıftan insanların arasından çıkmazlar.
On altıncı yüzyılda büyük bir yetenekle doğan her kadın mutlaka delirirdi, kendini vururdu, ya da köyün dışındaki sessiz bir kulübede geçirirdi hayatının son günlerini, yarı cadı yarı büyücü sanılır, korkulur ve alay edilirdi.”
― Virginia Woolf, quote from A Room of One's Own / Three Guineas

World AfterBookQuoters 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.
