“My wife would fight the world for me. It was miraculous to know that. When no one else had fought for me, I’d somehow found the one soul who would.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Goddamn it. You’ll never be without me. We’re going to grow old together. Die together. I’m not going to live a single day without you.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Are you in love Mr. Cross?
Irrevocably.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“I'm fighting here, with everything I've got. Fight for me too.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“If you’re going to worry about anything, Gideon, it should be me . Because I can’t be rational when it comes to you. I’m crazy about you. Literally. I can’t think about a future without you— it freaks me out.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“He buried his face in my throat. “Love you.” Tears stung my eyes. He said the words so rarely. “Tell me again,” I begged, holding on to him. His mouth found mine. “I love you . . .”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“I prefer to spend time with you. You’re the most interesting person I know.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You

― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You

― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“He didn’t see in himself what I saw— a generous soul who wanted so much to belong to something greater than himself. He didn’t recognize what a miracle he was. When he didn’t know what to do in a given situation, he let instinct and his heart take over. Despite all he’d been through, he had such an amazing capacity to feel and to love. He’d saved me, in so many ways. I was going to do whatever needed to be done to save him, too.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“He loved me so much more than he loved himself. It broke my heart that he’d sell himself short like that. It made it impossible to hold myself back. “You’re everything to me,” I breathed. “I think about you all the time.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“She wasn’t like any woman who’d come before her. Not just because of who she was, but also because of who I was when I was with her.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“I would have found Eva eventually. And I would’ve wanted her, given up everything to have her. I would have left you to be with her. The end was inevitable.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“You okay, angel mine?”
“I’m in your arms. Life doesn’t get better than this.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“I crawled into his lap, sighing happily when he shifted me into a spot that felt made for me. Every peaceful moment we had with each other was treasured. Gideon deserved the respite, and I longed to be that for him. His lips touched my forehead. “You okay, angel mine?” “I’m in your arms. Life doesn’t get better than this.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Did we choose love, or did we choose ourselves?”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Eva: We can write a manual on How to Lose a Guy in 10 weeks
Cary looked at me. "Fucking Perfect”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“That compromise means you don’t always have to be the strong one, Gideon. You can do the heavy lifting on occasion, and you can let Eva do it sometimes. Marriage isn’t about whether you’re strong enough as an individual. It’s about how strong you are together and the luxury of taking turns carrying the load.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“We were addicted to each other.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You

― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Gideon brought into my life. The acceptance and the love. The safety. Gideon had given me my freedom back, a life without terror. Giving him vows in return was too simple a repayment for that.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“I think of nothing but you. All day. Every day. Everything I do, I do with you in mind. There’s no room for anyone else.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Don’t hang up. For God’s sake, Eva, we’re married . We’re in love. There’s no shame in that. So what if it’s crazy? It’s us . It’s who we are. You need to come to grips with that.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Sure. You two are whack jobs separately. Together, you’re a goddamn nut house.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“I need you to understand that you’ll never have to settle for pieces of me. You shouldn’t be settling at all. You deserve so much better. You could have anyone—”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Sometimes you’ll lead, sometimes you’ll follow. Expect you’ll grumble about the following part for a while yet.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“I would always be obsessive when it came to her. I’d come to accept that. Eventually, she would, too. “There are things I can’t give you. Don’t fight me on the things I can.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“She can’t change the past.” “It’s not the past she’s thinking of.” He set his hand briefly on my shoulder. “It’s the future.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“Pride swelled my chest. Uncovered by the lack of makeup, the dusting of freckles on her nose made her adorable. Her body told you she was a dream to fuck, the confidence in her posture told you she’d take no shit from anyone, and the mischievous amusement in her eyes told you there would never be a dull moment.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Captivated by You
“That sensation of being caught—claimed—challenged me on the deepest level.”

“But there was not a police car in sight. Sure, Tracy thought in disgust. They’re never around when you need them.”
― Sidney Sheldon, quote from If Tomorrow Comes
“I don’t think you do. This” –he gestured impatiently at himself– “is just a fucking shell. You’re what drives me, Eva. Can you understand that? You’re my heart and soul. If something ever happened to you it would kill me, too. Keeping you safe is goddamned self-preservation! Tolerate it for me, if you won’t do it for yourself.”
I surged into him, knocking him off-balance and onto his back. I kissed him hard, my heart pounding and blood roaring in my ears.
“I hate to freak you out,” I murmured between desperate kisses, “but you’ve got it real bad for me.”
― Sylvia Day, quote from Entwined with You
“When the sun is strong and the air is warm, however, we shout greetings to one another down the lengths of long driveways and from the windows of our cars as we pass; we hold our heads high as we walk, staring up into the sky with our eyes shut and our faces widened by smiles. We breathe in deeply the summery air, but this sort of inhalation doesn’t result in a sigh; it’s a precursor to a purr, or the moans one might make during a backrub. We no longer mope, we no longer grouse. We are filled with energy. Although”
― Chris Bohjalian, quote from Midwives
“I am not angry or sad or happy to see you. I could not give a shit. You don't even ripple.”
― Gillian Flynn, quote from Dark Places
“The way we react to the Indian will always remain this nation’s unique moral headache. It may seem a smaller problem than our Negro one, and less important, but many other sections of the world have had to grapple with slavery and its consequences. There’s no parallel for our treatment of the Indian. In Tasmania the English settlers solved the matter neatly by killing off every single Tasmanian, bagging the last one as late as 1910. Australia had tried to keep its aborigines permanently debased—much crueler than anything we did with our Indians. Brazil, about the same. Only in America did we show total confusion. One day we treated Indians as sovereign nations. Did you know that my relative Lost Eagle and Lincoln were photographed together as two heads of state? The next year we treated him as an uncivilized brute to be exterminated. And this dreadful dichotomy continues.”

Thomas the RhymerBookQuoters 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.
