― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful

I give you shelter for your heart and may my arms be your home. I willingly give you all that I am and all that I will become. My love for you has no beginning or no end. For this is my promise and my solemn vow.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful

“What purpose would that serve? Anger only breeds anger. I get pissed at you, then you get pissed back at me, and it turns into a vicious cycle. It’s just better if I analyze my feelings and deal with them.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“I remember the first time I saw you.”
His voice breaks into my tumbling thoughts.
“You had no idea I saw you. I remember thinking that’s a woman I can see spending the rest of my life with.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful

His eyes laser onto mine in a way that sends a shockwave to my core. Just like then, I’m embarrassed by my reaction to him. The idea of his touch makes my center clench with expectation.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“For however short or long it may be,” keep coming back to me. This moment has to last forever in my heart. I don’t want to feel this way—to have these doubts. I want my faith to be firm in his survival of what he faces. So I will choose to live in the moment from this point on, cherishing him day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“week before our first anniversary. Drew”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“Not a thing. I’m just so damned happy you’ve agreed to make it official and be mine forever.” He pulls me into his arms, and it’s here I want to stay. For a lifetime.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“Something breaks in my chest as he drives into me with so much passion I feel his love in every stroke. A tear falls from my eye and I know there is no turning back. This man is mine and I am his.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“There is no doubt in my mind I see stars as he slips into me. My back rises off the bed as it feels like heaven, like home. Nothing in so long has felt this right.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“Probably not. I like to do things on my own." "Yes. I am well aware of your rather obsessive independence." Oh, good. Obsessive? "I'm not obsessive about it. I just find it easier to do things for myself, rather than be disappointed when..." "Disappointed when you are let down, and/or betrayed? Am I right?" "You know you're right. Please... please don't play games with me," I beg. I don't like this at all. "Oh, Sweetheart... I'm not playing games with you. I'm listening to what you do and don’t say and repeating it back to you. I want you to hear all I hear. I want you to see all I see. Remember, I'm just learning you, but you have known yourself always. Therefore, I am a fresh perspective to all you know, say, and feel. Do you understand what I'm trying to give to you?" "I know when you give back to me my own words; I don't like to hear them. I sound pathetic. I sound like a loser. I never thought I was a loser, until all of this and I hate it. I hate the way you see me. I'm embarrassed that I'm essentially, completely transparent. I don't like this game, anymore." I feel so sad suddenly.”
― Sarah Ann Walker, quote from I Am Her...

Lev shrugs. "It's just because my hair is so tatted. But maybe I'll keep it."
"Don't," Connor tells him. "I lied. I hate it.”

“She's trying so hard to be okay --- to make it all this shit okay --- but sometimes it's like the world just won't let her. The hits keep coming, and she keeps hurting.”
― Tahereh Mafi, quote from Fracture Me
“Business success requires business preparation. You don't have to be a master tactician, but you do need to have a plan in place. This plan will act as a foundation for everything you want to achieve.”
― Alejandro Cremades, quote from The Art of Startup Fundraising
“If the devil was going to come, I expected to see the myth of him. A demon with an asphalt shine. He'd be fury. A chill. A bad cough. Cujo at the car window, a ticket at the Creepshow booth, a leap into the depth of night.”
― quote from The Summer that Melted Everything
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.
