“I never could get close enough to you. In the months we were together, all I wanted was to love you more, to become part of you.”
“Live every minute as if it’s your last, so when you’re my age, you have no regrets.”
“Just because something’s hard and just because it makes both of us nervous doesn’t mean it isn’t worth it, Reese. Worth absolutely everything.”
“After ten years of conflicting feelings, I’m suddenly not conflicted at all.”
“What was that?” “Us,” he instantly replied. “Inescapable, unbreakable us.”
“Don’t hold my hand in here. It’s hard for me to concentrate when you do.”
“You do realize that makes it even more tempting.”
“I remember everything, Trent. Not just the bad, but the good, too.”
“She loved the way he deepened the kiss, making her dizzy as he wound his fingers in her hair and angled her head, urging her mouth open wider as he kissed her more forcefully. Reese tore at his shirt, needing to see him, to feel his skin against hers.”
“I love you, and I don’t expect you to tell me that back tonight. But I hope you’ll continue to open yourself up to the possibility of us. I promised to always love you, and I’ll do whatever it takes to be with you. And when I do, I’m praying that the only ‘Dear Trent’ note you’ll want to write in the future will be to tell me how much you love me. Just as much as I love you.”
“God, you feel good, Reese. Like I’ve finally found the missing piece of me.”
“I always need you, Reese,” he told her as he curled his body around hers the way he always used to. “Always.”
“Reese is a caring, talented, intelligent woman with a big heart and a strong will.” Every word Trent spoke was filled with love. “I promise you that I will treat her as the love of my life, because that’s who she is.”
“I would be everything for you if I could.” “You very nearly are,”
“Sorrow compressed my heart, and I felt I would die, and then . . . Well, then I woke up.”
“That is how you know you've left childhood behind - when you wish for time to go backward.”
“Is there sound, he wondered, without reception? Do you hear the shot that gets you? How big, in fact, was the Big Bang? Do our pathetic earthly squeals fall upon deaf ears? Is silence golden or common stone.”
“It was Aunt Lovey's belief that all ordinary people led extraordinary lives, but just didn't notice.”
“Ten years ago, we would have been writing perfect stories, but people's attention spans have become more limited in these, the last days of literacy.”
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.
