“Do you prefer to be on top or bottom?”
“I prefer whatever makes you yell louder when I fuck you harder than you’ve ever been fucked.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Belong to You
“Who do you belong to, Syd?”

“Say it, Syd.”
“I belong to you.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Belong to You
“You’re a mother’s dream, tall, dark and handsome, good manners, straight teeth and wealthy.”
“What about her daughter’s dream. How am I doing there?”
“Fulfilling them all.” I lifted my head to kiss him softly.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Belong to You
“If I don’t bury myself inside of you within the next five minutes, you aren’t going to be able to walk tomorrow.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Belong to You
“Are you saying you want to have sex with me this week and only get to ask and be asked ten personal questions?”
“That’s what I’m saying.” His response was dead serious.
“You’re crazy.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Belong to You
“Maybe we could try this again?" he asked, turning on the charm.
"You didn't even ask for my name," I blurted out. So much for thinking I was impervious to his charm. Clearly, it made me gullible.
"I guess I didn't." He agreed and pulled out the chair beside him for me to sit in. "What's your name?"
"Rimmel." I sat. But only because it got me one step closer to my bag.
"Hey, Rimmel." He started, speaking my name like he'd said it a hundred times before. "I'm-"
"I know who you are, Romeo."
His lips curved up. "My schedule says Roman." He pointed at the paper I was given.
"No one calls you that." And now I know why, I silently added. I mean, sure, he was like super popular and great at football, but I hadn't realized just how far his charm extended until I followed him deep into the bookshelves.
He leaned forward, bringing his face close to mine. "My mother does."
"Does your mother know what you do in libraries?" I countered. My lips snapped closed, and I ducked my head. Oh my God, what if he knows I saw?
His warm laugh dusted the air around us. "You mean study?"
He knew damn well I wasn't talking about studying.

“Because if you can’t be your own weird self on the internet, where can you be? And what would be the point?”
― Felicia Day, quote from You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
“The time is come," he spoke quietly. "Now, when lesser folk would wither, thou must be true to the blood of thine ancestors. Much greatness is bred in thee; accept now this terrible mantle and take a step nearer thy destiny.”
― Robin Jarvis, quote from The Oaken Throne
“Мы, люди, не знаем, кто мы есть. Самих себя мы привыкли воспринимать в определенной «упаковке», той, которая ежедневно смотрит на нас из зеркала и которую нам угодно называть своим Я. О, нас нисколько не беспокоит то, что нам знакома лишь обёртка пакета со стандартными надписями: отправитель — родители, адресат — могила; бандероль из неизвестности в неизвестность, снабженная различными почтовыми штемпелями — «ценная» или… ну, это уж как решит наше тщеславие.”
― Gustav Meyrink, quote from The Angel of the West Window
“It's the story of my life. You see, the quality of any advice anybody has to offer has to be judged against the quality of life they actually lead. Now, as you look through this document you'll see that I've underlined all the major decisions I ever made to make the stand out. They're all indexed and cross-referenced. See? All I can suggest is that if you take decisions that are exactly opposite to the sort of decisions that I've taken, then maybe you won't finish up at the end of your life" --she paused, and filled her lungs for a good should--"in a smelly old cave like this!”
― Douglas Adams, quote from The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide
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.
