― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures
“But when you’re in love, you’re not in control of what you think or say or do. And there is nothing I love more than control, and nothing I love less than not having it. So you tell me —what is a person like me supposed to do with a feeling like that?”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures
“Link held up a spoon. “Bend this fork with your mind.” “It’s a spoon.” “Trick question.” Sampson grabbed it and crushed it in his hand. Link swallowed. “So you think with your fists? Good to know.”

― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures

― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures

― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures
“This wasn’t how they talked. They threw things at each other. Insults, jokes, sometimes even remotes. They made war and made peace and made up and made out. They didn’t do things like set ground rules. They didn’t do feelings talk. They didn’t get it out in the open.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures
“Just for a minute,” she said. He’s not half bad, she thought, as far as princes go. “Just to watch the sunset,” he agreed. He’s not half bad, she thought, as far as enemies go. “Just to see the stars,” she conceded. This isn’t half bad, she thought, as far as wars go. “Just one day,” he said. “You promised.” And just to take another look at one small photograph hanging on the wall, she thought. Lennox Gates, what is your Siren story?”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures
“A troubled Necromancer. An Illusionist with a secret. An Incubus marked for death. A Darkborn in hiding. A Siren with a past.”

“When it came to relationships, the truth never set anyone free. The truth only set things on fire.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures
“If Link and Ridley openly admitted that they were still fighting, it would mean openly admitting that they still cared. If they openly admitted that they still cared, it would mean openly admitting to things like feelings. Feelings implied all sorts of gushy, messy, fuzzy complications.
Feelings were how they'd gotten into this fight in the first place.
Disgusting.
Ridley would rather have Link stab her through the heart with a pair of gardening shears than admit to any of those things.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Dangerous Creatures

“When Olivia leaves the room, I move to follow, but Franny steps into my path.
“Oh no, you stay here.”
“Simon,” I say with a scowl, “collect your wife before I say something I’ll regret.”
But Franny just tilts her head, appraising me. “I used to think you were a selfish bastard, but I’m starting to believe you’re just a fool. A double-damned idiot. I’m not sure which is worse.”
“Then I guess it’s good that I don’t give a turtle’s arse-crack about your opinion of me.”

Right Behind YouBookQuoters 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.
