“We fit, you and I,” he whispered looking into that haunting gaze. “Two broken pieces making a whole.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Dorian gave a smug grin. “My mate thinks I'm the most gorgeous leopard she ever saw.”
“Show us the footage before your head explodes,” Lucas muttered, but his own cat was grinning to see Dorian so happy. The sentinel had been latent most of his life, unable to shift into leopard form. Now that he could, he did so at every opportunity. “Have you managed to catch a rabbit yet?”
A single eloquent finger. “Fuck you.”
Lucas snickered. “What about trying for a turtle?”
Dorian lunged out of the chair and went for Lucas’s throat.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Take care of my heart won't you, Sophie? It's a little odd having it outside my body-but I'm planning to steal yours to make up for it.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“You can drive.”
When he raised an eyebrow, she said, "I've had enough contact with human males to realize you seem to have a congenital inability to function while a female is at the wheel, and I'd rather your full attention be on the case.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Why is it”—she shivered as he kissed the top of her spine, went lower—“that I always end up naked while you remain dressed?”
A husky masculine chuckle, his lips moving over her shoulder, his hands on her hips. “Because I'm a smart man.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Taking a sip of the hot chocolate he'd made her, she met his gaze, those eerie eyes of endless black impenetrable, unreadable.
"Max?"
"Yes?"
"Will you remember me?"
His heart broke into a thousand pieces. "Always.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Now a small woman, with dangerous curves. I could bite into her.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Max cuffed his brother good-naturedly on the ear as River slid in past him and bent to kiss Sophia on the cheek. “Hello, are you sure you’re with the right brother?”
Sophia had never had a younger sibling. But this man with his laughing eyes and bright smile... “Are you making me an offer?”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“I think,” Sophia said as Max mock-scowled, “I’m going to like having a younger brother.” Reaching out, she slipped her arm into the crook of River’s elbow. “So, tell me all of Max’s secrets.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“There's not much left inside me, Max" Sometimes, all she heard were echoes.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Sophia got up, taking one last look at the extraordinary daughter Councilor Nikita Duncan had borne.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Well, Kaleb’s voice whispered in Nikita’s mind, it seems this will make strange bedfellows out of us all.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Max saw the stranger give him the once-over, recognised it for what it was. Women had been making him offers since before he was legal. And he'd learned to turn them down without hurting their feelings ...”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“care of my heart won’t you, Sophie? It’s a little odd having it outside my body—but I’m planning to steal yours to make up for it. —Handwritten note from Max to Sophia”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Ahora que ha llegado el momento, resulta que no puedo decir adiós, que no puedo soportar la idea de dejarte ir. Es una necesidad egoísta y obstinada, pero soy su cautiva.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“—No vas a renunciar a mí, ¿verdad?
—No —respondió, y lo hizo con absoluta seriedad. Él era suyo, la única persona que había sido suya. Y lo necesitaba, necesitaba a aquel policía que reprimía su dolor con puño de hierro, que mantenía sus cicatrices bien ocultas—. No voy a renunciar a ti.
Sus ojos centelleaban.
—Buena chica.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Le rodeó la cintura con un brazo, con un nudo en la garganta.
—¿De veras?
—De veras. —Apoyó la frente en la de él con tierno afecto y le tomó el rostro entre las manos—. Has sido tú quien me ha enseñado que la vida no está grabada en piedra. Somos aquello en lo que nosotros mismos nos convertimos.
Su fe en él le desgarraba, convirtiéndole en un hombre mejor.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Du musst dir die Haare schneiden lassen", murmelte Sascha.
Er küsste sie nocheinmal und lächelte. "Ich fürchte mich vor Scheren."
"Ausflüchte." Sie strich über Lucas Haar. "Du stellst dich genauso verrückt wie die Mädchen an, wenn es um dein Haar geht."
"Erwischt." Eine warme, liebevolle Hand auf ihrem Bauch. "Was macht der Rockstar?"
"Getöse, wie immer.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Si no reclamas a alguien, no pueden rechazarte, no pueden abandonarte, no pueden romperte el maldito corazón.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“—Conociéndonos —repitió Max, como si estuviera sopesando sus palabras—.¿Y vas a dejarme entrar, Sophie?
—Sí. —Algo muy dentro de ella se removió, algo a un mismo tiempo oscuro... y solitario. Infinita y absolutamente solitario—. Quédate conmigo, Max.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“—Esa no es una zona erógena.
—¿De verás? —Inclinándose, Max cerró los dientes sobre aquel mismo punto.
Y Sophia vio las estrellas.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“—Sé quién eres —replicó, sosteniéndole la mirada—. No van a espantarme tus "imperfecciones". —Una húmeda película empañó los ojos de Sophia, volviendo iridiscente aquella negrura—. Tú y yo encajamos —susurró contemplando sus ojos atormentados—. Dos piezas rotas que forman un todo. —No era la declaración más romántica, pero salía de su alma—. No voy a perderte.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“Haces que me sienta fuerte, me haces sentir que puedo luchar contra el mismísimo destino. Si estás leyendo esta carta, es que he fracasado. Pero has de estar orgulloso de mí, Max; lo he intentado con todas mis fuerzas.”
― Nalini Singh, quote from Bonds of Justice
“—Vuelve conmigo, Max —le dijo en voz queda.
—¿Cómo voy a resistirme? —La miró con seriedad y le dio un beso con tal emoción que a Sophia le dolió el alma—. Tienes cautivo mi corazón.”

“But I must say that I’ve never seen him look at anyone the way he looked at you tonight.”
― Melanie Dickerson, quote from The Captive Maiden
“Then she wondered, not for the first time, about the differences between wizards and witches. The main difference, she thought, was that wizards used books and staffs to create spells, big spells about big stuff, and they were men. While witches - always women - dealt with everyday stuff. Big stuff too, she reminded herself firmly. What could be bigger than births and deaths? but why shouldn't this boy want to be a witch? She had chosen to be a witch, so why couldn't he make the same choice? With a start, she realized it was her choice that counted here too. If she was going to be a sort of head witch, she should be able to decide this. She didn't have to ask any other witches. It could be her decision. Her responsibility. Perhaps a first step toward doing things differently?”
― Terry Pratchett, quote from The Shepherd's Crown
“The more times I fall in love, the less sure I am about love.”
― Brandon Stanton, quote from Humans of New York: Stories
“What do you think of it?” Claire had asked her then. “It’s a dump.” Claire had smiled. “Exactly, thank you. Just watch.” Maya had no creativity for such things. She could not see the potential. Claire could. She had that kind of touch. Soon the two words that came to mind when you pulled up to the home were “cheerful” and “homey.” The whole place ended up looking like a happy kid’s crayon drawing somehow, with the sun always shining and the flowers taller than the front door. That”
― Harlan Coben, quote from Fool Me Once
“What I want to be, girls, is beautiful. Beautiful means ‘full of beauty.’ Beautiful is not about how you look on the outside. Beautiful is about what you’re made of. Beautiful people spend time discovering what their idea of beauty on this earth is. They know themselves well enough to know what they love, and they love themselves enough to fill up with a little of their particular kind of beauty each day.”

The Evolution of Mar...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.
