“I'm up for it. Whatever it is. As long as it means I'll always be with you.”
― Melissa de la Cruz, quote from Bloody Valentine
“Jack Force was more than she had ever dared wish for, and he was better than a dream or a fantasy because he was real. He was far from perfect, moody and distant at times, and burdened with sharp temper and an impulsiveness that was part of his dark nature. But she felt more love for him than she thought possible. He wasn't perfect, but he was perfect for her. (Schuyler Van Alen)”
― Melissa de la Cruz, quote from Bloody Valentine
“When were were cast out of Paradise, we lost part of our soul forever. As part of our punishment, we were cursed never to learn to love again. Instead, we were bound to a destiny that was set from the beginning. Azrael and I never chose each other; the choice was made for us. We never knew anything else.
The ring you hold is part of my soul that your mother helped me recover. It was she who saved us from the Dark and led us back to the Light. As her daughter, you too are an Angel of Light. The fire does not harm you. I lost the ring during the crisis in Rome. But now it has been returned to me.
This ring has been blessed by Gabrielle herself.
I have never given this ring, my soul, to anyone. Azrael has never had any part in this.
This is the only part of myself that is truly mine, and now it is yours.”
― Melissa de la Cruz, quote from Bloody Valentine

“It hurt because he knew she loved him; she had told him as much. It just-just not enough...”
― Melissa de la Cruz, quote from Bloody Valentine

“Să aibă parte de o femeie matură trebuie să fie visul oricărui puşti. Dar cu mine e altceva. Ea mă interesează mai puţin ca iniţiatoare în erotism, cât pur şi simplu ca suflet şi gândire şi memorie de femeie coaptă, de femeie adevărată. Elevele sau studentele nu sunt, de cele mai multe ori, decât nişte mâţe închipuite, învăluite, e drept, în lumina de ambră a ochilor şi într-un fel de nonconformism năuc. Fără trecut, sau fără să şi-l conştientizeze încă, anexe de discotecă al căror erotism, când există, e unul pur social şi estetic, ele strepezesc imaginaţia ca nişte fructe încă necoapte. Cele mai multe nu se coc niciodată : le dispare şarmul şi se adaugă mulţimii de neveste cumsecade, cu o sinceră vocaţie a normalităţii. Ingineraşi, vaporeni, contabili - ei se aleg cu mândreţele de tigrese care unduiesc sub flacăra stroboscoapelor, sub peticele ameţitoare de lumină emise de globul cu oglinjoare.”
― Mircea Cărtărescu, quote from Nostalgia
“Her eyes opened then. They were drowsy, slumberous, staring up at him with a hunger that was impossible to miss.
“I felt you,” she whispered, a smile tilting her moist lips. “Watching me. Should I feel you watching me?”
Was she asleep or awake?
“Of course.” He found the growl building in his throat. “Every time I look at you, baby, I touch you.”
― Lora Leigh, quote from Elizabeth's Wolf
“In his suicide note, Kurt Cobain wrote, "It's better to burn out than to fade away." He was quoting a Neil Young song about Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. When I was twenty-four, I interviewed John Lennon. I asked him about this sentiment, one that pervades rock and roll. He took strong, outraged exception to it. "It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out, " he said. "I worship people who survive. I'll take the living and the healthy.”
― David Sheff, quote from Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction
“I’ve often thought it unfair that women are expected to stay at home when there’s a fight to be won. If a
woman has the strength to bear a child, she can swing a sword as well as any man.”
― Karen Hawkins, quote from How to Abduct a Highland Lord
“I can't believe that we have reached the end of everything. The red dust is frightening. The carbon dioxide is real. Water is expensive. Bio-tech has created as many problems as it has fixed, but we're here, we're alive, we're the human race, we have survived wars and terrorism and scarcity and global famine, and we have made it back from the brink, not once but many times. History is not a suicide note - it's a record of our survival.”

Boy ProofBookQuoters 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.
