“A gentleman takes care of a woman, ensures they feel important, and that all their needs are met before his own, because a gentleman is fully aware of his manhood, and is reminded of it every night when his woman screams out his name in ecstasy.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“I'm trying this new thing were I'm not a complete ass to everyone. Most days I fail.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“He sees my smile and his eyes shine in a way that will never make me doubt the love he has for me, making me feel like there is no separation between our two bodies; that despite our separate forms we still remain a whole, and no amount of distance can change that.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“Someone having this kind of power over you is painful in a way, because it makes you aware of how they can shatter and destroy you like no one else ever could.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“We could probably go days without talking and still feel verbally satisfied, communicating in ways only two souls destined to be together can.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“The pain of her absence makes me even more aware of how much she's become a part of me.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“You. All I need is you,” he says, more as an exhausted sigh. “Tell me about your day. All of it. Every last detail.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“I'm going to kiss you now, and then I'm going to fuck you because that's all I'm capable of right now. I need you so bad I can't be anything but rough. Then we'll clean each other and spend all night and tomorrow making love in my bed. Yeah?”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“We complete the other in ways no one else ever could, teaching one another things about ourselves we wouldn't have known otherwise.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“I don't budge, accepting my fate, thankful that for a brief moment in my life I had the opportunity to discover what life was all about: the ability to love; the courage and strength it takes to love a person, no matter how different they are. Forgiving that they have flaws and appreciating their imperfections. Knowing those are the things that define them, forming them into something that cannot be defined and shelved into a category. Understanding that's what makes them so remarkable.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“Is this what normal is?" Jay asks as we continue to watch the show.
"What part?"
"All of it. Having a shitty day and coming home to someone who takes care of you. Making love to that person. Sharing your day. Realizing everyday can suck if it means your evenings end up like this."
"I don't know" I answer truthfully. "My parents either avoided each other or argued."
Jay doesn't respond, just cuddles more of me under him.
"I hope this is our normal." He quietly confides after a few more minutes.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“Be that man, Jay. Be the man who fights for us and will never let anything destroy what we have. Don't doubt the love we share. Know that is there's one thing true and real in your life it's us, it's our love. Please don't let me go again. Fight for me, Jay. I need to know nothing can take you from me, that you would never allow it.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“Strength comes in more ways than one. Muscle is the weakest form. Inner strength is the strongest, nobody can break you there. Inner is what she has, and what I should have been striving towards.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“the ability to love; the courage and strength it takes to love a person, no matter how different they are. Forgiving that they have flaws and appreciating their imperfections.

“Care to explain this to me?” I slam the statement into his chest, giving it a push, but of course he doesn't budge. Damn him and his muscular awesomeness.”
― quote from Becoming Noah Baxter
“General admission for groundlings—those who stood in the open around the stage—was a penny. Those who wished to sit paid a penny more, and those who desired a cushion paid another penny on top of that—all this at a time when a day’s wage was 1 shilling (12 pence) or less a day. The money was dropped into a box, which was taken to a special room for safekeeping—the box office.”
― Bill Bryson, quote from Shakespeare: The World as Stage
“Strzyg, wiwern, endriag i wilkołaków wkrótce nie będzie na świecie. A skurwysyny będą zawsze.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, quote from Time of Contempt
“...and even though he said we were telling secrets that we were all going to keep, I had learned a long time ago that adults played by different rules.”
― Jason Reynolds, quote from Ghost
“In his prison poems, the bars on his windows are merely the grid through which he sees shooting stars, each lash of a whip is a reminder of the insecurity of tyrants, and a rumour that orders for his execution have been dispatched is reason to weep for the executioner.”
― Kamila Shamsie, quote from Broken Verses
“Oh, Louisa, you can hang on to your hurt out of some misplaced sense of pride, or you can just let go and relish whatever precious time you have.”
― Jojo Moyes, quote from Still Me
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.
