“He looked at her in complete devotion. “We made a little baby…”
She smiled and giggled. “It wasn’t that hard either, was it?”
“I don’t know about you but I was working pretty hard.”
― Pepper Pace, quote from Beast: An Estill County Mountain Man Romance #1
“Christopher…you are the one that’s beautiful.” She lifted her head. “And not just on the inside. You’re beautiful on the outside, too. To me…you’re perfect.” She could see several emotions move across his face before his eyes half closed...
“You say that to me…and if you’re not careful you might end up stuck with me.” It was a warning.”
― Pepper Pace, quote from Beast: An Estill County Mountain Man Romance #1
“I never thought I’d have this.”
― Pepper Pace, quote from Beast: An Estill County Mountain Man Romance #1
“Christopher, baby, I love you. Completely. I love your looks and everything else about you.”
She felt his hand enclose around hers. “I know you do. Ashleigh…I love you so much that it scares me. Everything I do, I have you in mind.”
― Pepper Pace, quote from Beast: An Estill County Mountain Man Romance #1
“felt loneliness so vivid that he swore it had a taste.”

“Why vampires? You write centuries-long family sagas—why not write historical epics without any hint of the supernatural?"
"Well, that would be boring, wouldn't it?"
"Yeah, God only knows what Tolstoy was thinking.”
― Carrie Vaughn, quote from Kitty and the Midnight Hour
“E io che c'entro?", disse Gabriel, rilanciando il foglio a Kaitlyn. Era sdraiato sul letto a leggere una rivista di automobili - vetture di lusso. "Non è un problema mio".
Kaitlyn afferrò il foglio a mezz'aria. Aveva dovuto ricorrere a tutto il suo autocontrollo per entrare in quella stanza. Probabilmente non avrebbe dovuto farlo, ma in quel momento non riusciva ad affrontare Rob da sola, e Anna era al telefono con i suoi familiari dall'ora di cena.
Kaitlyn si sforzò di mantenere la calma.
"Se c'è qualcosa di vero in quello che sostiene Marisol, allora è un problema di tutti", disse a Gabriel con fermezza. "E tu sei stato l'unico a dire che qui c'era qualcosa che non andava".
Il ragazzo si strinse nelle spalle. "E allora?".
Kait aveva voglia di urlare. "Tu sei convinto che ci sia qualcosa che non va - ma non t'importa di scoprirlo? Non vuoi fare niente?".
Un accenno di sorriso baleno sulle labbra di Gabriel.
"Certo che voglio fare qualcosa. Farò quello che so fare meglio".
Kaitlyn non voleva dargli soddisfazione, ma non riuscì a nascondere la propria curiosità. Anche se si sentiva ridotta a fare la spalla di un comico, buttò lì la domanda: "E cosa sarebbe?"
"Pensare a me stesso", rispose compiaciuto Gabriel. Gli occhi neri scintillarono di maligna soddisfazione.”
― L.J. Smith, quote from The Strange Power
“Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of: Wherefore, let thy voice,
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.”
― Alfred Tennyson, quote from Idylls of the King
“Preserve the part of you that's still human. Avoid falling into ecstatic raptures and trying to impose the Light on people when they don't want it. Avoid relapsing into contemptuous cynicism and imagining that you are pure and perfect. That's the hardest thing of all--never to become cynical, never to lose faith, never to become indifferent.
-Gesar”
― Sergei Lukyanenko, quote from Twilight Watch
“Clark sighed and shook his head at the tedious road ahead. Information, that’s what this whole mess was about. Knowledge truly was power, and men like Ellis understood that Clark could help give them the knowledge they needed to grow their billions and protect their kingdoms. Even over the roar of the surf Clark heard Ellis enter the house. Clark and Ellis shared a thirst for power and that was about it. Where Clark was calm and discerning, Ellis was volatile and brash. The man had a way of wearing people out through frontal assault after frontal assault. Nothing tricky, no feints, he just hammered you into submission. Clark found it all very interesting. He was a true tactician, and often relished outmaneuvering people like Ellis, but tonight, in the warm Caribbean air he would prefer drinks, some light fare and the smooth skin of a young woman flown in from Miami.”
― Vince Flynn, quote from Separation of Power
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.
