“Nothing in this world is stronger than love. It should always be enough. No matter what.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“I laughed. "Oh, I like this little guy. If we can't let him go, can I keep him?"
"Uh, no"
"I shall name him Herbert," I announced, ignoring Dez. "Do you like the name, little puke-wedgie?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“I’ve missed you, Jas. You have no idea,” he continued, reaching toward me again but stopping short of touching me. “I thought about you every damn day. All I wanted was to get back to you and the clan. But mostly you. Always you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“For thousands of years, my kind had been thought of as nothing more than the stone sculptures perched upon the rooftops of homes and churches. Aka gargoyles. And technically, that’s what we were – but the depiction of a gargoyle was vastly exaggerated. Even the ugliest of all Wardens didn’t have a bulbous nose or fangs jutting from his mouth. It was rather insulting when you thought about it.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“I wasn’t naïve enough to believe in soul mates or any of that childish nonsense that I had once clung to, but there had always been something tangible between Dez and me, even after his absence, it was still there, stronger than before.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“But when your father announced his intentions for us, I knew I had to purge myself of the rage, because loving you... loving you was bittersweet," he whispered against my lips. "Because I knew if I didn't do this, if I didn't get all the hatred out of me, I would never be the mate you deserved.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“My first kiss...and it was everything I’d imagined it to be, with the exception of there being an audience for it. But it was hard to acknowledge them or their cheering and whistles. Flames scorched my already heated skin. Dez’s lips moved against mine, working the tight seam open. I gasped, wondering where in the world he’d learned to kiss like that. Jealousy flared like a beacon on the heels of that thought. Okay. I didn’t want to know how he’d learned.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“I had loved him since the moment he’d taken the pudding from me. When my father had announced on Dez’s eighteenth birthday that he supported a match between us, I’d never been happier than I was in that moment. I was young. And stupid. When Dez had disappeared the very next day, I experienced a heartache that I thought would swallow me whole and never spit me out. He’d been more than a crush. He had been my best friend, my confidant and my world.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“I was not happy. I was knee deep in freak out mode.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“And I'm just saying that by the end of these seven days or maybe a week from then, or a month, you'll say yes." He cupped my cheek and leaned inm pressing his forehead to mine. "And I'll be waiting. No matter how long it takes.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“Maybe at the end of these seven days, you'll still say no. That doesn't mean it's over. Im in this for the long haul.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“Nothing in this world is stronger than love. It should always be enough, no matter what.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“I want you, and I know you feel the same way. Neither of us could’ve changed that much. I believe in that. And I want you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“I don’t bite. Unless you want me to.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“words or the lack thereof had been our problem all along. Either we weren’t telling each other what was really going on or we were saying all the wrong things. Words sucked sometimes.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“Niente a questo mondo è più forte dell’amore. Dovrebbe essere sempre l’unica cosa che conta, a tutti i costi.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“Thoughts of being obliterated were a moo killer.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Bitter Sweet Love
“Las personas con las almas más puras son capaces de las maldades más grandes. Nadie es perfecto, sin importar lo que sean o por qué bando luchen.”

“How many times do I have to tell you, Amelia? Men are like little woodland creatures. You have to lure them to you with tiny breadcrumbs and soft words of encouragement. You cannot simply whip out a rock and conk them over the head with it.”
― Meg Cabot, quote from Princess in Pink
“Tashi dice que quiere enfrentarse al pelotón de fusilamiento vestida de rojo. Le recuerdo que su sentencia está siendo apelada. También cabe la esperanza de que los Estados Unidos hagan valer la ciudadanía norteamericana de Tashi. Es igual, quiero ir de rojo, dice, pase lo que pase. Estoy harta del blanco y el negro. Ninguno va primero. El rojo, el color de la sangre de mujer, los precede a ambos.
De modo que cosemos.”

“Some people make a bad bed, they just have to lie in it.”
― Virginia Euwer Wolff, quote from Make Lemonade
“I have never found such a man! I have never found a man as generous as myself, as forgiving, as tolerant, as carefree, as reckless, as clean at heart. I forgive myself for every crime I have committed. I do it in the name of humanity. I know what it means to be human, the weakness and the strength of it. I suffer from this knowledge and I revel in it also. If I had the chance to be God I would reject it. If I had the chance to be a star I would reject it. The most wonderful opportunity which life offers is to be human. It embraces the whole universe. It includes the knowledge of death, which not even God enjoys.”
― Henry Miller, quote from Tropic of Capricorn

Archangel's StormBookQuoters 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.
