“I like it when you ask me to come!” he called after me. “I can’t wait to come tonight, Ziggy! Should I come around eight? Or do you want me to come around ten? Maybe I’ll come both times?”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Ben,” Max said, leaning back in his chair with a giant grin. “It’s finally happened.”
I groaned, resting my head on my hand.
“You got your period?” Bennett asked. “Congratulations.”
“No, you twat,” Max said, laughing. “I’m talking about Will. He’s gone arse over tits for a girl.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“It’s about finding the woman who gets you thinking. She’ll be the one who’ll change your mind about everything.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“See, the problem with boobs is if you have big ones, you can never look thin. You get these burns on your shoulders from bra straps, and your back hurts. And unless you're using them for their intended purpose, they're always in the way."
"In the way of what? My hands, My face? Don't you blaspheme in here." He looked up to the sky. "She didn't mean it, Lord. Promise.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“That's why I had a reduction when I was twenty-one," which is when his expression morphed into one of horror.
You'd have thought I told him I made an amazing stew from tiny babies and puppy tongues.
"Why on earth would you do that? That's like God giving you a beautiful gift and you kicking him in the nuts."
I laughed. "God? I thought you were agnostic, Professor."
"I am. But if I could motorboat perfect tits like yours I might be able to find Jesus."
I felt my blush warm my cheeks. "Because Jesus totally lives in my cleavage?"
"Not anymore he doesn't. Your boobs are now too small for him to be comfortable in there." He shook his head, and I couldn't stop laughing. "So selfish, Ziggs,”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“He nodded again and I was tempted to tell him the rule of silence: sometimes an awkward silence is actually far less awkward than forced conversation.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“All that is rare for the rare.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Do you ever feel like the people who mean the most aren’t the people you see the most? Lately I just feel like I’m not putting my heart where it matters.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“In the end one loves one's desire and not what is desired.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Hanna, I don't know if I've ever wanted something more than I want you.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“My love for her was a heavy, pulsing, living thing, and it made me feel crazy, and anxious, and famished.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“It wasn't just a physical attraction between us. Of course I'd been attracted to women before. But there was something more with Hanna, some chemistry in our blood, something between us that snapped and crackled, that made me always want just a little more than I should take. She offered her friendship, I wanted her body. She offered her body, I wanted to hijack her thoughts. She offered her thoughts, I wanted her heart”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“When you’re younger you want the boy who knows how to play the game but when you’re older you want the man who knows when it’s not a game anymore.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“I love you so fucking much, my naughty, sweet Plum.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“«Todo lo raro y singular, para los raros y singulares.»”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“His smile pulled up one corner of his mouth and he looked completely destructive. My heart and lady bits would not survive a night with this man.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Life was built from the bricks of these connections and milestones and moments where you tell your two best friends that you’re about to have a child.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“So,” I said. “Not ready to settle down, then?” “Definitely not.” His smile pulled up one corner of his mouth and he looked completely destructive. My heart and lady bits would not survive a night with this man. Good thing that’s not even an option, vagina. Stand down.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Please,” she begged, kissing me again, reaching for my other hand and trying to pull it around her. “I want to be with you so much it’s making it hard to breathe.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Honestly, he'd said more perverted things to my face. To my boobs. Did he really think he was school-ing me in being sexy right now?
Really? You're completely unimpressed?
Zzzzzzzzzzz, I wrote back.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Don't ever stop being so fucking open.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“That look, that tenderness in her eyes, made me realize for the first time what was happening to me: I was falling in love.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“But when he kissed me? I didn’t feel lost in him the way I get lost in you.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“I felt my blush warm my cheeks. “Because Jesus totally lives in my cleavage?” “Not anymore he doesn’t. Your boobs are now too small for him to be comfortable in there.” He shook his head, and I couldn’t stop laughing. “So selfish, Ziggs,” he said, grinning so widely that I actually stumbled a little.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“He looked to me, his eyes softening. “This is my Hanna.”
― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player

― Christina Lauren, quote from Beautiful Player
“Why won't you give me what I want?”

“DREAMLAND BY a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule— From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime Out of SPACE—out of TIME. Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods With forms that no man can discover For the dews that drip all over; WHERE AN EIDOLON NAMED NIGHT ON A BLACK THRONE REIGNS UPRIGHT Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters—lone and dead, Their still waters—still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily. By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead,— Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily,— By the mountains—near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,— By the grey woods,—by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp,— By the dismal tarns and pools Where dwell the Ghouls,— By each spot the most unholy— In each nook most melancholy,— There the traveller meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the Past— Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pass the wanderer by— White-robed forms of friends long given, In agony, to the Earth—and Heaven. For the heart whose woes are legion ’Tis a peaceful, soothing region— For the spirit that walks in shadow ’Tis—oh, ’tis an Eldorado! But the traveller, travelling through it, May not—dare not openly view it; Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed; So wills its King, who hath forbid The uplifting of the fringèd lid; And thus the sad Soul that here passes Beholds it but through darkened glasses. By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have wandered home but newly From this ultimate dim Thule.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, quote from Poems of Edgar Allan Poe
“Sleep is like a drug,” he explained. “Take too much at a time and it makes you dopey. You lose time, vitality and opportunities.”
― Robin S. Sharma, quote from Who Will Cry When You Die? Life Lessons from the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
“Love is skewed. Love is being strong when he is weak. Love is obsessive and offensive and not any good, but he’s mine.”
― Mary Elizabeth, quote from Innocents
“By night, I am free.
No one hears my monsters but me.
My freedom is fragile, though,
Because every morning,
Over and over,
The night is broken by the sun.
It’s a good way to die.”
― Courtney Cole, quote from Nocte
“What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is lead in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, and every day, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, (which are but the mute articulation of his feelings,) not those other things are his history. His acts and his words are merely the visible thin crust of his world, with its scattered snow summits and its vacant wastes of water-and they are so trifling a part of his bulk! a mere skin enveloping it. The mass of him is hidden-it and its volcanic fires that toss and boil, and never rest, night nor day. These are his life, and they are not written, and cannot be written.”

Grimm's Complete Fai...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.
