“You are speaking of my future lover. Be more respectful.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“The sweetest part of being a couple is sharing your life with someone else.
But my life, evidently, had not been good enough to share.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“I don't like having feelings," Eric said coldly, and he left.
That was a tough exit line to top.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“Eric was holding my hands, and I was digging my nails into him like we were doing something else. He won't mind, I though, as I realized I'd drawn blood. And sure enough, he didn't. "Let go," he advised me, and I loosened my grip on his hands. "No, not of me," he said smiling. "You can hold on to me as long as you want.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“They say there's no harm in daydreaming, but there is.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead



“Let go," he advised me, and I loosened my grip on his hands. "No, not of me," he said, smiling. "You can hold on to me as long as you want. Let go of the pain, Sookie. Let go. You need to drift away."
It was the first time I had relinquished my will to someone else. As I looked at him, it became easy, and I retreated from the suffering and uncertainty of this strange place.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“My eyes flew open, and I pushed back against rock-hard shoulders. I let out a little squeak of horror.

"It's me," said a familiar voice.

..."Eric, what are you doing here?"

"Snuggling.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“And by golly, love sure was a battlefield. Benatar was right about that.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“They found the corpse in the closet of Alcide's apartment, and they hatched a plan to hide his remains." Eric sounded like that had been kind of cute of us.

"My Sookie hid a corpse?"

"I don't think you can be too sure about that possessive pronoun."

"Where did you learn that term, Northman?"

"I took 'English as a Second Language' at a community college in the seventies.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“It was time to pull my moral socks up and behave myself.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead



“She killed Lorena in a fight?" Eric's grin grew even broader. He was as proud as if he'd heard his firstborn reciting Shakespeare.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“I don't like having feelings," _Eric Northman”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“I have always been very fond of you." He'd always wanted to have sex with me. "Plus, I want to fuck you.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“How grateful are you?" he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine.

"That kind of ruins it, when you say something like that," I said, trying to keep my voice gentle. "You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just because I owe you."

"I don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it," he said, equally gently.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“You take I-55 south, and you'll run into I-20. Or you could take..."

I was about to be overloaded with information. "Oh that sounds just perfect. Let me do just that, or I'll lose track."

Sure, glad I could help."

Oh, you surely did."

We beamed at each other, just two nice women. I had to fight an impulse to say "I have a tortured vampire in my trunk," out of sheer giddiness.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead



“Better to be screwed physically than financially.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“Sometimes, instead of going down the road less taken, you just charge down the beaten path.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“Bill said, "She is mine."

I wondered if my hands would move. They would. I raised both of them, making an unmistakable one-fingered gesture. Eric laughed, and Bill said "Sookie!" in shocked admonishment.

"I think that Sookie is telling us she belongs to herself," Eric said softly.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“Alcide: "It's on my right butt cheek. It's shaped like a rabbit."
Sookie: "I love bunnies!”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“Men sometimes have to leave their ladies alone, and ladies are not responsible for the bad manners of fools.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead



“When you've been really beaten, you realize that you are just an envelope of skin, an easily penetrated envelope that holds together a lot of fluids and some rigid structures, which in their turn can simply be broken and invaded.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“Apparently, once you got used to regular and spectacular sex, your body had a mind of its own (so to speak) when it was deprived of that recreation; to say nothing of missing the hugging and cuddling part.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“You never told me all this before," I said, by way of explanation. "You all have divided
up America into kingdoms, is that right?”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“What I think I'll do is I'll do my best to yank Debbie out of me by the roots. And then I'll turn up on your doorstep, one day when you least expect it, and I'll hope by then you will have given up on your vampire.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“You can hold on to me for as long as you want. Let go of the pain, Sookie".
- Eric, Club dead.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead



“Finally, I drew in a long breath. It was noisy and painful and just heaven.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“You might have been paid back enough to suit you" I said, "but I don't know if you've been paid back enough to suit me.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“The sweetest part of being a couple was sharing your life with someone else.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead


“Okay," I said. "I'd hoped to avoid this, but... Bill, I rescind your invitation into my house." Bill began walking backward to the door, a helpless look on his face, and my brush still in his hand. Eric grinned at him triumphantly.
"Eric," I said, and his smile faded. "I rescind your invitation into my house." And backward he went, out my door and off my porch. The door slammed shut behind (or maybe in front of?) them.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

Popular quotes

“We all die young. He was around your age then. I had just turned 18 and met Evelyn. We fell hard for each other. Any moment I could find, I was with her, which in turn led to her getting pregnant with Neal. My plan was for us to take my inheritance and live on some remote island somewhere. But, when my brother died, I had to step forward. I hated the life with a passion."

"And now you can't let go."

He was good at what he did. The stories of young Sedric were the things that nightmares were made of.

"It's like a possession," he whispered. "It crawls into your soul and takes root. You have no control over it. You allow it to grow, because it helps. It's the reason you can let blood flow across the floor like fine wine and not flinch. It helps you become the monster you need to be. The only side effect is that it's always there. No amount of holy water can wash it off. So there's no letting go. I will forever be who I allowed myself to be, and the person I allowed myself to be enjoys the chaos."

Truer words were never spoken.”
― J.J. McAvoy, quote from The Untouchables


“Brooklyn Micheala Valentine was born at four in the afternoon on September 11th”
― Jennifer Foor, quote from Love's Suicide


“There are only three forms of high art: the symphony, the illustrated children's book and the board game.”
― Brian K. Vaughan, quote from Saga, Vol. 3


“My heart was breaking, but I knew I’d never be able to give him up even if it was going to hurt every time I spoke to him”
― Kelly Oram, quote from Cinder & Ella


“I’ve got good news and bad news for you, Ryan. The bad news is that you’re the only one in the world who can activate the Doomsday Machine, and Foe and his gang are never going to stop coming after you. The good news is that with myself and Valkyrie protecting you, you stand a very good chance of emerging from this relatively unscathed.”

Valkyrie looked at the back of Skulduggery’s head. “You said they’d probably try to cut his hand off.”

“I said relatively,” Skulduggery reminded her.”
― Derek Landy, quote from The End of the World

About BookQuoters

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.
