“Do me a favor. Always remember the better times and know that I loved all the pieces of you with all the pieces of me.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“I’d assumed after that I’d never find love. But fate brought us back together and I knew I had to win her over. Even if we did have to fight to overcome the cruel, we hung on to the beautiful and it was damn worth it.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“Everything I have is yours. My love, my heart, my soul, and my life, for however short or long it may be.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“I promise from this day forward I will give you all my love and you will not walk alone. Your love is my anchor, your trust, my strength. 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
“Love encompasses a whole lot of things, Drew. And when I fell in love with you, I didn’t fall for only the good times. I fell for it all, including this.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“The way he looks at me, it's as if he's looking into my soul.”
― A.M. Hargrove, quote from Cruel and Beautiful
“Even if we did have to fight to overcome the cruel, we hung on to the beautiful and it was damn worth it.”
― 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
“You’re still as beautiful as the first day I saw you.”
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

“Bodie’s phone rang. Ivy. I knew it was her, the way you know the protagonist of a horror movie really shouldn’t go down into that basement. Bodie took the call, then nodded at me to go back inside.”

“We vegabons are a part of this now, and we have a chance to make things better. Maybe we can make the world a little brighter before we die. At least, that’s why I’m here. I’ve always wanted to make people smile. But for the first time in my life, I’m powerful enough to do more. I can help change things. You empowered us, Kara. Don’t give up. The rest of us need you to believe, or we’ll lose faith completely. We may have Grimoires too, but there is only one true Vegabond.”
― S.M. Boyce, quote from Treason
“Practice listening to other people talk about their beliefs without interrupting them. Listen to Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, Mormons, Anarchists, Republicans, KKK members, Heterosexuals, Homosexuals, Meat Eaters, Vegans, Scientists, Scientologists, and so on . . . Develop the ability to listen to ANYTHING without losing your temper. The first principle here at Buddhist Boot Camp is that the opposite of what you know is also true. Accept that other people’s perspectives on reality are as valid as your own (even if they go against everything you believe in), and honor the fact that someone else’s truth is as real to them as yours is to you. Then (and this is where it gets even more difficult), bow to them and say, “Namaste,” which means the divinity within you not only acknowledges the divinity within others, but honors it as well. Compassion is the only thing that can break down political, dogmatic, ideological, and religious boundaries. May we all harmoniously live in peace. You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger. —The Buddha”

SanctuaryBookQuoters 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.
