“The irony of life is to realize that you live only to die.”
― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura
“Give me agony or give me death,
I'll take thy heart as eternal breath”
― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura
“My Dearest Love,
As I sit here writing, I wish nothing more than to have you with me. The days have gone slowly without your tender gaze upon mine. I am weak without you and do not know how I can survive in this state. The scent of your hair, the touch of your lip, the rose of your cheek all lay engraved in my touch, my sight, my scent, my mind and my heart. I am committed to you with all that I am, and I am nothing without you. Tonight I lay awake recounting our lover’s meets and I agonize over the insignificant distance between us. Yet, it so pains me to have you this short distance away. Might I be a fool to feel this way? And if a fool I am, then it is for you; for you would make any man a king’s fool, my queen. I pray thee sleep well, with dreams of your one true love and may he be me, for the love of my eternal life is the one that breathes life into my soul and that is you and only you. I bid thee sweet dreams and sweet kisses on thy cheek and thy lip and thine eyes, that I should be so fortunate to keep them on mine lip every night.
Ceaselessly Yours,
David Chios”

“I win,” he grinned.”

“What were you guys doing in there?” Bill sounded perturbed.
“We’ve been waiting for you forever.”
“William,” David hung his arm over Bill’s shoulder, “A man always waits patiently for his ladylove.”
“Are you for real?” Bill’s eyes narrowed. “What black and white movie did you pop out of?”

― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura
“He cupped my face and closed the gap between us nestling his nose next to mine. I felt my heart in my throat, beating at full speed. “No.” I restrained him, raising my right arm against his chest. David moved slightly back, staring deep into my eyes. “You’ll be the death of me. I swear it.”
― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura

― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura
“Why didn’t you do something about it the first time you found me there?” “Isis, have you ever looked at yourself?” He intently looked into my eyes. I kept silent, listening for the rest of his explanation. “You’re gorgeous. Fit for the god of gods. You are unending beauty to the tips of your fingers.”
― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura

― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura
“I tried opening the door to the car again, forgetting the darned thing would not open. “You need to get this door fixed,” I nagged.
“It’s not broken, my lovely,” David grinned.
“Then why won’t it open?”
“Child locks to keep the princess from opening the door herself.” He gave me a crooked smile.
“Oh,” I blushed.”
― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura

Incessantly battling for Victory’s love,
Its resolute intents to no avail . . . But this singular army will not retreat,
It is obligated by penance-
Ravenous for Her emotional defeat.”

“I love you, David. I’m sorry for not telling you, but I’ve loved you since the first time I saw you. I’m sorry I hurt you when all you ever did was love me. I need you to forgive me before . . .” I reached out for David with my left hand, “before it’s over.”
― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura
“Galen poked Eryx on the shoulder three times. “Brother, if you feed the cats, they’ll keep coming back. Please. I beg you. Stop.” Bill and Andy broke out in laughter. I bit my bottom lip to keep from smiling at Galen’s rude, yet humorous remark. Jean and Marie took half a turn and walked away.”
― Nely Cab, quote from Creatura
“Oh, be still my beating heart. I offer no contest to your words.”

“Good afternoon, class," he said.
I said a soft good afternoon, but no one else in the class joined me.
Dr. Green laughed. "I think my class is missing. Did no one show up today? I'll have to mark everyone as absent. I believe I said good afternoon."
The room chorused a low murmuring of 'good afternoon' in reply.
"This won't do," Dr. Green said. "I'm here to teach you Japanese. I can't very well teach you English, too.”
― C.L. Stone, quote from First Days
“Ela não é bonita.É diferente,rígida e intocável,como se tivesse sido esculpida em pedra.No entanto faz com que eu mantenha a minha sanidade quando mais nada resulta.É como se ela me pusesse os pés bem na terra,como a gravidade,só que com muito mais força.Ela protege-me das pessoas sem rosto que me perseguem todas as noites e a cada instante do meu dia.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“I lay on my bed in late afternoon, watching a patch of light move across the floor, my throat tight, my body still. This is the saddest part of any day, when too much time has passed to create happiness while it is still light out. It’s too late. The daylight has been squandered on my immobility. The patch of light falls still; it begins to fade. It will be better when it is gone. This is only one day, I remind myself, and it is very nearly over.”
― Laura Nowlin, quote from If He Had Been with Me
“I felt such pity for her, and such gratitude, too—because she let me be nobody.”
― M. Pierce, quote from Last Light
“Tall, blonde and model-pretty, she’s the girl every other longs to be. Until she opens her mouth, and her outer beauty can no longer compensate for her inner bitch.”

Red Earth and Pourin...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.
