“I don't deserve your love or your shine, but I want it because with you I can feel the sun. I don't want to go back to those shadows.”
“Goodbye, Ash. You were the best-and worst-thing that ever happened to me.”
“This is hard...
Never said it would be easy. Nothing good ever is.' -- Josie & Ash”
“Girlfriends' code. What's discussed with girlfriends stays with girlfriends.”
“Every day. I have to show you every day what you'll mean to me. That's on me. And we'll get there. This-- you-- are important to me. I'm going to make sure you know that at all times.' -- Ash”
“He also knew that this woman was different from all the women who'd come before her. That part scared the shit out of him and excited him all at the same time. What if she was the one? That woman who, when a man saw her, he was instantly struck with the knowledge that he was done for. Like Mia was for Gabe. Like Bethany was for Jace. The one.' -- Ash”
“Wait just a goddamn minute, Josie. We're not finished. No way in fuck I'm giving up that easy. You're worth fighting for.”
“His heart was in the right place even if he went about it all wrong.”
“I don't want you to ever be touched by the gray areas I'm immersed in, baby. I want you clean. I want you to shine, just like you always do.”
“Falling in love is the easy part. It's everything else that happens afterward that's hard and takes work.”
“Then it's too bad I don't belong to you.”
“I think you know I want you, Josie. I certainly haven't made it a secret. But you also need to think about all I would take. I take a lot. I give more, but I take everything.”
“You're not going to lose me. Never that. I'm always going to be here.”
“I'm too much of a 'do it my own way and fuck the rest of the world' kind of guy.”
“Yeah, it's you. It suits you. I wanted something to match your eyes, but I also wanted something that reflected your personality. Your vibrancy.”
“And that makes Mia sad. But it's okay. She'll have Bethany. And me.”
“If you're asking me if I have blood on my hands then yeah, no doubt.”
“He wanted to tie her to him in ways she'd never escape. But they'd be the most loving, silken ties in the world.”
“You don't want me. How could you? You know nothing about me.”
“I'm more concerned with what you think.”
“She's not just any woman. I don't know, man. She hits buttons that a woman have never pushed for me.”
“Pink is you. Definitely your color.”
“I won't lie to you, Josie. So becareful what you ask.”
“When I do finally get you naked beneath me—and trust me, it’s not a question of if, but when—I’m going to make sure you haven’t so much as looked at a drink. I want you to remember everything I do with my hands and my lips and my tongue.”
“Bir türkü duyulur... Gecede başka türlü, gündüzde başka türlüdür. Çocuk söylerse başka tatta, kadın söylerse... Genç söylerse başka türlü olur, yaşlı söylerse... Dağda söylenirse başka, ovada, ormanda, denizde başka türlüdür. Hep ayrı ayrı tattadır. Sabahleyin başka, öğle, ikindin, akşamlayın başkadır.”
“There was nothing I wished I'd said to him. There was nothing I wished I hadn't said.”
“A woman who’s lived in a cage all her life. And hates it. Bored in there, aren’t you. Waiting for life to happen. And when it finally does, it steals from you what you loved most. So take back. Explode. Lash out. Blow up”
“Could he actually be a decent guy?
Hard to imagine.
He was pretty to look at, though, she thought. Boys weren't objectified nearly enough, and turnabout is always fair play.”
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.
