“Just nipping to the loo,” he explained when she frowned. She nodded as her mind raced to connect the word to meaning. She knew that word. She knew she knew it, and yet, her mind kept hiding it every moment she tried to recall it. Loo, loo, loo. “The bank?” she dared in a tiny voice. He gave another hefty chuckle, having the time of his life with her inexperience. “Spend a penny … water the one eyed dragon?” “The bathroom,” she cried.”

“Well, you seem to make the perfect friend, being the guru of so many kinds of catastrophes. We could teach one another.” More laughter that had her grinning. “We could maybe write a book.” She busted out in cackles. “Yes. A how-to manual for offing yourself.” In the middle of laughter, he said, “Or The Guru’s Guide to Not Giving a Damn.” “Thank”

“Medical Helpline Hussy, here to turn sexual stories, how can I help you? Oh God what was she doing? ”

“Dead tired, dead stupid, and dead dumb. That’s the same as stupid, stupid.”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“have to. You don’t understand, and it’s okay. I don’t want you to worry about me.” His carefree tone made her panic and stutter out stupid half-ass words. “Bye, Rosie,” he said, regretfully. “You don’t need to do this!” she gasped, finally finding her voice. “Don’t you dare hang up, dammit! I mean it.” After many seconds of nothing, he whispered a perplexed, “Or what?” She shot out of her chair. “Or … I will be so very angry at you! And hurt!” she knew she was crossing every line possible, but her gut said he was dead serious—stupid pun unintended. ”

“Why had he said Josh? He had no idea. But he did know that William was a fake, a liar. Useless. He didn’t want to be William any longer. Josh could be anyone—a mask he could wear and pretend to the world that he was normal and happy.”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“He didn’t sleep anyway, so what did it matter? His mind never wanted to calm. Always stuck in the nights … the darkness. Endless moments locked in that abyss where no one could hear him. No”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“He shook it off like an old sweater cloaking his back, rolling his shoulders to ease out the tension his thoughts created. William died the night he threw himself into the river. William was gone. The”

“So much of a distant memory now. Everything had changed. He had changed. He had clarity. All of those talks with Carly and Dr Broadhurst had helped him because he’d let it—because he’d chosen to let it.”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“She took another bite, closing her eyes as she chewed and hhmmmd out her enjoyment of it. “God yes,” she said. “Well I have to say this is my first.” “First?” He grinned with naughty mischief. “Foodgasm.” She”

“He had no one to call. No one to ask to help him. And that’s how he liked it. It was better that way. No one could leave when you were already alone. Fuck,”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“Oh shit. It finally hit her. He was blushing from the eye orgasm she was having all over him. ”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“I’m crying because I thought you were dead. You said you’d call and you didn’t. What was I supposed to think? I’ll tell you what I thought. I thought you offed yourself, but I wasn’t really sure. I waited. I waited for days, William.” She”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“You know, when I called you that first night …” there was a long pause and Rosie strained to hear, needing to know that very thing, “it was to have somebody to say goodbye to.” Pain”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“His nostrils filled with the scents of the room, the scents of that night when his mother had summoned him. She’d been wearing nothing, her skin glistening in the night light, her femininity bared. William gripped the phone trying to crush it in his hand. “Look at your mother’s ….” Josh slammed his hands into the side of his head and scrunched his eyes shut, just as William had done that night. He doubled over, screaming into the empty house. No. He wouldn’t see it; he wouldn’t listen to those words or do as he was told. He stood himself up, eyes piercing the ones in the reflection. “I fucking hate you. It was all you. All you. Why did you do what?” He’d cut William out. He’d make him fucking leave. He’d kill him if he had to. He was no longer William. William was dead. Josh”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“collapsing to his knees on the pile of glass on the floor. The distorted reflection mocked him, laughed at him, pointed the blame back. “I’ll fucking kill you.” He snatched up a shard, his shaking hand pushing the jagged edge into his bare thigh. Electrifying pleasure raced through him. He let his head fall back, his mouth fell open as the glass silenced the evil in his skin. The cuts breathed air into his soul, releasing him from those mental binds—a man freed from the bars of his memories. He dropped the slick glass on the floor, blood dripping down his thigh. He”

“Life’s too short?” “Yep, but it’s the longest thing we ever do.” “That’s very true. I’ve never thought about it like that.” “Not many do,” he said. They”

“Struggling. Fighting angry ghosts that held their tongue, strangling them so they’d never tell.”

“He lowered his head with a shy grin. “You’re skenning like I’ve a third head.” “Skenning.” She panicked at the term wanting to grab her list of slangs from her purse, sure she didn’t have that one. “Staring?” he helped. “Oh,”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“I’m buying.” She was sure her wallet screeched at the generous offer. “I’ve got a few quid, thank you,” he said. “It’s cracking flags out.” He looked out the window then back, assaulting her with another heart stopping smile. “I’ve lost you, have I?” “I’m usually … I’m lost,” she admitted but in more ways than he realized. “I’m usually really good with slang, quid is cigarettes, right?” “Quid is money,”
― Mason Sabre, quote from Cuts Like An Angel
“Quids,” she bubbled with a fluttery laugh, grabbing her purse while staring at his expanse of chest. “I have to write them as I learn them.” She snatched her little pad and scribbled it in. When she was done, she found him smiling at her. “I’m weird,”

“Before I fell
in love with words,
with setting skies
and singing birds—
it was you I fell
in love with first.”
― Lang Leav, quote from Love & Misadventure
“In a few hours, I’m going to be banished to the surface, my belongings raffled off as novelty items and my living space given to someone else—my reputation destroyed. I’d rather have your head than your soul at this point in my illustrious career.” - Al”

“There are things we never tell anyone. We want to but we can’t. So we write them down. Or we paint them. Or we sing about them. It’s our only option. To remember. To attempt to discover the truth. Sometimes we do it to stay alive. These things, they live inside of us. They are the secrets we stash in our pockets and the weapons we carry like guns across our backs. And in the end we have to decide for ourselves when these things are worth fighting for, and when it’s time to throw in the towel. Sometimes a person has to die in order to live. Deep down, I know you know this. You just can’t seem to do anything about it. I guess it’s a sad fact of life that some of us move on and some of us inevitably stay behind. Only in this case I’m not sure which one of us is doing which. You were right about one thing though. It’s not fate. It’s a choice. And who knows, maybe we’ll meet again someday, somewhere up above all the noise. Until then, when you think of me, try and remember the good stuff. Try and remember the love.”
― Tiffanie DeBartolo, quote from How to Kill a Rock Star
“He grinned. "It's more of a personal challenge. Do you have any interest in getting to know me at all? Personally, I mean."
"Can't I just Google you? Isn't your entire life somewhere online?"
He scowled. "Probably.”
― Olivia Cunning, quote from Backstage Pass
“Margo, they're afraid of us. They're afraid of everything.' And then I kept on talking without really thinking, until it turned into a chant:
They're afraid of change, and we must change.
They're afraid of the young, and we are the young.
They're afraid of music, and music is our life.
They're afraid of books, and knowledge, and ideas.
They're most afraid of our magic.”
― James Patterson, quote from Witch & Wizard
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.
