“You can overcome anything...short of death.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“I love you... I don't want you to ever question it. I'd give up my life for yours. That's how much I love you. Don't you dare ever doubt that.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“I never planned on falling for you. You were just an assignment. But it just sort of happened and now... There's not a single thing I would change about you. When you smile, my entire world stops. All I see is you. I need you.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“Shhh..." He grips me closer to his body and then softly whispers in my ear, "I'm about to kiss you, and once I start I won't be able to stop. Just thought I should warn you.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“I wasn’t actually sleeping, more like daydreaming with my eyes closed.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“He takes my face into his hand, and reassures me. "So outside of these walls, we can't stand each other.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“The last thing I want is for you to be afraid of me. But I want you to trust me. I need you to trust me." He sighs and I hear the pain and confusion in his voice.
"Why?"
"I don't know why and it scares the hell out of me." He swallows hard...
Part of me screams for him to run for his own safety, but I don't want him to move. My heart begs... Please stay with me. Forever.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“I don't want to die, but at the same time, I wish I were dead.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“Treat everyone equal. We are all born the same and die the same.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“Just leave me," I whisper in his ear.
"Never.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“All I want is to help you heal. To hold you when you cry. To glue you back together when you break apart. I want to reach out my hand and help you back up.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“You’re amazing just the way you are. There’s not a single thing I would change about you. When you smile… my entire world stops. And all I see is you. I need you, Lexi.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“what point do they believe what’s been branded on their skin instead of just knowing who they are inside?”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“Most of all, I wish for peace. If I survive this, all I want is to live with Cole and to live in peace for the rest of my life, knowing I made the right choice.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“It doesn't matter now. What's done is done. It's in the past, so let's leave it there. Plus, if we could rewind time and fix our mistakes, we'd never learn from them. Right?”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“No matter how this world changes, you can survive.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“To the outside, I'm filth now. I'll never be allowed to return to the life I knew. No one ever does.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“Why the hell are you wearing it on your left hand? I swear to God, if you're married I'm going to kick your ass. I'm not joking.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“Why the hell are you wearing it on your left hand? I swear to God, if you're married I'm going to kick your ass. I'm not joking.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“You’re all I think about. My mind is constantly consumed by you, and it scares the hell out of me.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS: LUST — BLUE GLUTTONY — ORANGE GREED — YELLOW SLOTH — BLACK WRATH — RED ENVY — GREEN PRIDE — PURPLE”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“So we’ll take one day at a time, because each day is one day we didn’t have before.”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“You can overcome anything short of death”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“At times, I want to explode like a bomb or give in to my animalistic instincts like the others. But my father raised me better. He’d”
― Abi Ketner, quote from Branded
“I think that's the most terrifying thing about being... loved--that you can hurt someone so badly just by being what you are.”
― Carole Cummings, quote from Incendiary
“because the cigarette or spliff was an indispensable technology, a substitute for speech in social situations, a way to occupy the mouth and hands when alone, a deep breathing technique that rendered exhalation material, a way to measure and/or pass the time. More important than the easily satisfiable addiction, what the little cylinders provided me was a prefabricated motivation and transition, a way to approach or depart from a group of people or a topic, enter or exit a room, conjoin or punctuate a sentence. The hardest part of quitting would be the loss of narrative function; it would be like removing telephones or newspapers from the movies of Hollywood’s Golden Age; there would be no possible link between scenes, no way to circulate information or close distance, and when I imagined quitting smoking, I imagined “settling down,” not because I associated quitting with a more mature self-care, but because I couldn’t imagine moving through an array of social spaces without the cigarette as bridge or exit strategy.”
― Ben Lerner, quote from Leaving the Atocha Station
“I listen as I walk down the hall, measuring off the seconds before she closes the door. With a friend, you might close it right behind them. With someone you’re interested in, you might wait a few seconds before closing. And with someone you’re falling for . . . With someone you’re falling for, you don’t go inside. You wait and watch them go. Just like she’s doing now.”
― Allen Zadoff, quote from Boy Nobody
“I am SAM, and this is my latest mission. This one’s like a cross between a house of cards and a hand grenade with a missing pin. One wrong move, and—BOOM! The whole thing comes down. I’ve got to be in a dozen different places at just the right time, and in just the right order. Not only that, but this high-tech fortress disguised as a middle school is crawling with guards in the middle of the day. The trick is to act natural when anyone’s looking, and then move like the wind when they’re not. So I walk casually up the corridor, like I belong here. Deputy Marshal Stonecase passes me by and I give her a friendly (but not too friendly) nod. She has no idea I’m working undercover. That’s what the street clothes and prosthetics are for. As soon as I find myself alone, I swing into action. First I check my scanners, perfectly camouflaged inside an ordinary-looking backpack. Once they give me the all clear, I continue to the gymnasium. My first stop is the so-called equipment room. I know it’s a flimsy cover for Sergeant Stricker’s missile silo, but I can’t worry about that now. I work fast. I work carefully. I try not to think about the pair of fully armed heat-seeking missiles just under the floor. And the millisecond my package is delivered, I move on. This next maneuver is what you call a speed round. I cruise through the building like a ninja-tornado, dropping tiny subpackages of coded instructions in every empty corner I can locate. Once the inmates start finding them—and they will find them—they’ll know what to do. That’s it. Within twenty minutes, my mission is complete. The rest of this operation is out of my hands. So I go back to undercover mode and continue my day like none of this ever happened. In fact, none of it did. (You’ve got my back, right?) SAM out!”
― James Patterson, quote from Just My Rotten Luck

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.
