“You can forget what people said and did, but you never forget how they made you feel. You can forgive the people who hurt you, but you will remember what they taught you.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“Love happens in the blink of an eye. One moment your heart is yours, and the next it belongs to someone you never intended to give it to. There is no transition. No earning on his part. Just foolish trust and hope for a future of happiness and emotional fulfillment. As much as we hope for a happily ever after, life doesn't work that way.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“I'd do anything for you. You know that?" he whispered into my ear. "If you fell, I'd hold you. If you were afraid, I'd wrap my arms around you and take away your fears. I'd die to keep you safe but more than anything I'd do whatever it takes to keep you by my side. For you I'd conquer anything, everything, anytime.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“I Don't want someone who's perfect because I'm not perfect. I want someone who's real; someone who complements me rather than completes me.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“Don’t ever trust a guy with a Southern accent, a lazy smile, and a casual stance, because he’s about to sneak his way into your panties without even trying.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“To love someone so deeply is to risk losing yourself forever. Once I admitted my feelings to him, there was no going back—no hope to ever make my heart complete without him”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“I'm still thinking of you. Even though everything's messed up, I still want you by my side. I still want to be with you, within you, inside you, hearing you panting my name.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“The hardest part was acknowledging I might never see you again. Realizing how much you mean to me and how much I'd miss your pretty face every morning and night. Realizing all the things I didn't do with you and might never get a chance to. But I think most of the pain came from the realization that the time we spent together was not enough for me and I couldn't force you to feel the same.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“Every story has an ending. You can’t stop after one chapter just because you don’t know how it ends”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“I hated him, loved him, wanted him, and yet I wished him away. So many conflicting emotions of wants and needs. So much fear. Not because of him, but because of myself—of how deep my feelings and desires were running, and how much I would fall if I happened to lose my grip.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“The trials of our lives make us strong, determined to succeed, to be different, both in body and spirit.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“Sweetie, love's meant to be shared. Maybe it won't last forever. But who cares? Every story has an ending. You can't stop after one chapter just because you don't know how it ends. If you love him, you should at least give it a chance. I think a life without sharing love is hell in itself. What's worse than loss?”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“He dominated everything: my thoughts, my space, even the air I breathed.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“He had destroyed and shattered my love only to conquer it again.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“Love is when you'd rather be hurt than hurt the one you love.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love

“I care enough for you to let you go," he whispered. "But I'll never stop protecting you”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“It’s never over. Not until every fight has been lost. And for you, I’d fight.”
― J.C. Reed, quote from Conquer Your Love
“I’m my true self when I’m with you. I feel like I don’t have to hide.”

“were true, then they needed each other just as much as they needed air to breathe. “Mr. Mayfield—Jett?”

“Even when she slept, her anxieties did not.”
― Frances Hardinge, quote from A Skinful of Shadows
“We live only in the present, in this fleet-footed moment. The rest is lost and behind us, or ahead of us and may never be found. Little of life we know, little the plot of earth on which we dwell, little the memory of even the most famous who have lived, and this memory itself is preserved by generations of little men, who know little about themselves and far less about those who died long ago. (Book 3, Verse 10)”

Will You Please Be Q...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.
