― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love

― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love


“You think I’m broken, don’t you? You think I should be fixed. You want me to be normal. I’ll never be your version of normal, Lis. I’ll never be like you – like them.”
“I’m not trying to fix you, Daniel. I just want you to be happy. I love you just the way you are.”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love


“I don’t want to be defined by this.”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love


“It’s like doing one of those dumb math problems: three people are driving at 20mph in a car carrying two gallons of gas and a horse doing yoga, when a car traveling at 30mph with two clowns drinking cola collides, what time is it in Tokyo? It doesn’t make any sense and the only answer I ever come up with is who”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love



“He didn’t care what people thought about the way he looked. He knew that his tats, his piercings, the way he dressed, gave people a giant fuck off message, and that suited him just fine. That shit was deliberate.”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love


“What do you want, Lisanne?”
“You,”
“Are you sure? You don’t get to have your first time again, baby doll. This isn’t how I’d imagined it.”
“You’ve imagined it… with me?”
“Are you fucking kidding me? You are hot. I’ve wanted you since I met you, but I figured you just wanted to be friends. That’s cool. I like having a friend who’s a girl.”
“Can I just… can I touch you?”
He nodded slowly, his eyes following her hand as it moved shakily to his waistband.
Softly, she laid her hand over his crotch and felt his heat and hardness. He inhaled deeply.
“You are so fucking sexy.”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love


“No, baby, I’m all man,” he said with a smirk, winking at her. “Want me to prove it?”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love


“Honey, if you're not sure it was a date, then it wasn't. A guy has to ask you on a date for it to be a date. It's different from just hanging out together.”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love


“You have to walk a mile in another man's shoes before you judge him.”
― Jane Harvey-Berrick, quote from Dangerous to Know & Love

“I know when I am well off. You had better come up to me.’     ‘You know I can’t.’     ‘Of course you can’t. You can only go down and down.’     ‘Are you trying to insult me?’     ‘Yes, but it’s very difficult.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers, quote from Murder Must Advertise


“How long should we wait before we decide whether or not a person has developed a clinical depression during his or her life? Suppose, for example, that an individual with a strong family history of depression dies in an auto accident at the age of twenty-one without ever having had an episode of clinical depression. We might conclude that she or he did not inherit the tendency for depression. But if that individual had not died, she or he might have developed an episode of depression later on in life, since a first episode of depression can often occur when you are older than twenty-one.”
― David D. Burns, quote from Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy


“That’s it. That is fucking it. I stand up, grab Anna by the waist and, while dragging her to the bedroom, say over my shoulder to Brent, “If you can answer the door when her brother gets here, we’d appreciate it. Don’t bother us for the next hour, two if Anna’s as insatiable as usual. You may want to turn on the television to drown out the noise!” I push a laughing Anna into the bedroom and slam the door behind us.  ”
― April Brookshire, quote from Young Love Murder


“-وماذا في الكلمات من سوء؟
-ليس هناك مخدرًا أسوأ من الكلام”
― Antonio Skármeta, quote from The Postman


“It's good to be just plain happy; it's a little better to know that you're happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how, in what way, because of what concatenation of events or circumstances, and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss, and if you have any sense you ought to kill yourself on tire spot and be done with it. And that's how I was-except that I didn't have the power or the courage to kill myself then and there. It was good, too, that I didn't do myself in because there were even greater moments to come, something beyond bliss even; something which if anyone had tried to describe to me I would probably not have believed.”
― Henry Miller, quote from The Colossus of Maroussi

About BookQuoters

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.
