“There are people you meet that you get to know, and then there are people you meet that you already know.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“I'm scared I'll never feel this again with anyone else," I whisper.
He squeezes my hands. "I'm scared you will.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“I love you so much.” His voice is breathless and full of fear. “I’ll love you forever. Even when I can’t.” My tears fall harder at his words. “And I’ll love you forever. Even when I shouldn't.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“I'm afraid if I listen to my heart once, I'll never figure out how to ignore it again.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess

― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess

― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“No one deserves you like I do.” …
“No one sees you like I do.” …
“No one understand you the way I do.” …
“No one makes your heart beat like I do.” …
He presses his palm against my heart. “And no one else deserves to be inside you if they can’t get there here first.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“Tell me something about yourself that no one else knows. Something I can keep for myself.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“Sometimes we don’t get second chances, Owen. Sometimes things just end.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess

― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“He kisses me like he's giving me every kiss he wishes he could have given me the past, and every kiss he'll wish he could give me in the future.
All at once.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“How can a fifteen-year old girl defend her love when that love is dismissed by everyone? It’s impossible to defend yourself against inexperience and age. And maybe they’re right. Maybe we don’t know love like an adult knows love, but we sure as hell feel it.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“It's amazing how you don't realize just how alone and scared you were until you have someone by your side to support you.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess

She deserves me.
If only she knew that.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“Tonight, everyone’s focus is on my art, but my focus is on her. She’s the most interesting piece in this entire room.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“Every day of my life it feels as if I'm
fighting my way up an escalator that only goes down.
And no matter how fast or how hard I run to try to reach the top, I stay in
the same place, sprinting, getting nowhere.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“It’s not a confession if no one reads it. It’s just an unshared secret.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“You drink to escape the emotional pain you’re in, and then the next day you do it all over again to get rid of the physical pain. So you drink more and your drink more often and pretty soon you’re drunk all the time and it becomes just as bad, if not worse, than the reality you were attempting to escape from in the first place. Only now, you need an escape from the escape, so you find something even stronger than the alcohol. And maybe that’s what turns alcoholics into addicts.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“She seems a lot like me. A loner, a thinker, an artist with her life. And it appears as though she's afraid I'll alter her canvas if she allows me too close. She doesn't need to worry. The feeling is mutual.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“Fucking heels,” she mumbles. Only she isn’t wearing heels. She’s wearing black flats, but she blames them, anyway.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“She deserves so much better than what I can give her. I don’t, however, think she deserves better than me. I think she would be perfect for me and I would be perfect for her, but all the bad choices I’ve made in my life are what she doesn’t deserve to be a part of.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“How is it possible that I’m already falling in love with you?”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess
“I love you so much.” His voice is breathless and full of fear. “I’ll love you forever. Even when I can’t.” My tears fall harder at his words. “And I’ll love you forever. Even when I shouldn’t.”
― Colleen Hoover, quote from Confess

Institutes of the Ch...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.
