Quotes from Beg for Mercy

“He was too gorgeous for words and worst yet he knew it.”
― Shannon Dermott, quote from Beg for Mercy

“Your the kind of girl a guy can fall for," he said then paused before speaking again. "And you of all people know that love is not possible for people like you and me.”
― Shannon Dermott, quote from Beg for Mercy

“Do you need help with anything?" he asked with a wicked arched brow. "Maybe with cookies for Santa."

Scowling because no one was here but us, I said, "You're a bit late for that. Santa already came."

He hadn't moved, but I knew better than to think he would. Flynn was a pro at filling the bubble air space that was meant to be private and personal. "And were you a good girl?" he asked.

Awkwardly folding my arms over my chest, I said, "Not sure, I haven't checked. But you needn't look. We all know you are all bad."

Laughing, he said, "Yeah, well, there are other things worth unwrapping."

Grinding my teeth, I asked, "What, you didn't get your Ho, Ho, Ho, last night?"

Tossing back another full belly laugh, he said, "You know you're kind of funny when you want to be.”
― Shannon Dermott, quote from Beg for Mercy

“I couldn't believe his arrogance. I turned away hoping to ignore him enough so he'd just leave.

"Just give me five minutes," came Flynn's muffled voice through the closed window.

I ignored him. He'd caused me way too much trouble.

"Mercy, just crack the window so we can talk."

I did and immediately said, "You are a solipsistic obdurate asshole." Then I rolled the window back up to continue to ignore him.

"What the hell? You and these words," he muttered loud enough they came clearly through the closed window.”

About the author

Popular quotes

“Sometimes it seems unfair that events so old can reach forward through the years, sinking claws into one’s life and twisting all that follows it. Yet perhaps that is the ultimate justice: we are the sum of all we have done added to the sum of all that has been done to us. There is no escaping that, not for any of us.”
― Robin Hobb, quote from The Complete Tawny Man Trilogy: Fool's Errand, The Golden Fool, Fool's Fate

“It cannot be stressed enough that there is no certain independent date for any of the archaeological material from earliest Rome or the area round about, and that arguments still rage about the age of almost every major find.”
― quote from SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome

“What do you suggest we do?”
― L.T. Ryan, quote from Noble Beginnings

“all the suns but ours collapsed tonight, how many lifetimes would it take us to realize that we were alone? I”
― Ransom Riggs, quote from Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children Boxed Set

“When you're alone, it's easier," she said a little wistfully. "You can do what you want. You don't have to go home.”
― Candace Bushnell, quote from Sex and the City

About BookQuoters

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.
