“I love you, Ellie. You came into my life and demanded that I paid attention. I’m not letting you go, I won’t. I’ve let a lot of things go in my life, things that needed to be set free, things that if I didn’t release I would have become bitter and empty. You are not one of those things; you are one of the rare, beautiful things that I am desperate to keep. I want you forever, Ellie.”
― Rachel Higginson, quote from Bet in the Dark
“All I wanted was my money. Instead, I got you. You, the one person in the world I have to convince I’m charming, and on top of that I find out that my texts are annoying.”
― Rachel Higginson, quote from Bet in the Dark
“And Ellie, if Fin is offering his heart to you, it’s just a formality because believe me when I say you already have it.”
― Rachel Higginson, quote from Bet in the Dark
“I blamed this on Kelly Clarkson. On Kelly-Freaking-Clarkson. The angry man standing across the kitchen island looked like he was about to throttle me. I had visions of large hands gripped firmly around my neck shaking me like a rubber chicken. His eyes flashed with frustration and I cursed Kelly Clarkson straight to the grave.”
― Rachel Higginson, quote from Bet in the Dark
“He groaned as if frustrated and then whispered almost so quietly I didn’t hear him, “I’m going to keep you.”
― Rachel Higginson, quote from Bet in the Dark
“In that moment, that exact moment, I knew Fin Hunter was going to change my life forever. I didn’t know if it would be better or worse when he was done, I just knew that he was blowing through everything I thought I wanted and needed like a tornado of change and I was helpless to stop it.
I was helpless against him.”
― Rachel Higginson, quote from Bet in the Dark
“Finally, after several more breathless moments, he straightened, disentangling his limbs from mine. “That’s how you should be kissed. Every single time.” And then he patted my head like a small child and walked away.”

“Tuxedo Guy looked even better the closer he got to us- tall wide shoulders, smooth skin, those lips.”
― Myra McEntire, quote from Hourglass
“Zakon privlačnosti torej ustvarja okrog vsake osebnosti zapredek njej podobne energije. Ko poskuša zdraviti svojo jezo ali strah ali ljubosumnost, se proces preobražanja v celovitost okrepi in pospeši, pride v središče zavedanja. Osebnost vidi svojo jezo ali strah ne samo v sebi, ampak tudi povsod izven sebe. Če se osebnost zavestno odloči, da bo ozdravila svojo jezo ali strah, jo vsaka okoliščina spravlja v jezo ali strah, ker se Vsemirje sočutno odzove na njeno željo, da bi postala celovita.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul
“A man protected his woman, after all. And Lord willing, one day Eden would be his.”

“Possibility is a wide field, dear. "Can't" is a word for small imaginations.”

Witches AbroadBookQuoters 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.
