“It's hard for an educated woman to turn her head off. That's part of the joy of being a submissive. None of the decisions are yours. When you can't refuse anything and can't even move, those voices in your head go silent. All you can do, and all you are permitted to do, is feel.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Dark Citadel
“I’m a firm believer in equality at all times—”
“At all times?” She glanced at the cuffs clipped to his leathers. “Why do I find that hard to believe?” And why the heck was she arguing with him. Mine, mine, mine.
“At all times,” he repeated. “However, in the bedroom or in the club, I am a lot more equal than you.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Dark Citadel
“My God, no wonder people like being tied up.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Dark Citadel
“You're allowed to look, sweetheart, he murmured, running a finger down her hot cheek. I enjoy having your eyes on me.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Dark Citadel
“She could just imagine, all her friends and family mourning around her grave. The tombstone would read Kari Wagner, Died of Sheer Stupidity.
It would be almost as bad to have her grave marker read Died of Terminal Bedroom Boredom.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Dark Citadel
“Give me her damn address, you sadistic bastard.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Dark Citadel
“...some people become hypercritical when stressed.
Then again, he hadn't been stressed last week. She giggled, remembering how he'd instructed her on the proper way to fold hand towels. Talk about nitpicky. Perhaps this would be a good time to call it quits.”

“Most folks here got rules 'bout trespassing. Warning shot's fired right close to the head. Get they's attention. Next shot gets a lot more personal. Now I'm too old to waste time firing a warning shot.....”

“It’s one of the things men are for, taking the blame. They usually deserve it, even if you don’t know exactly how.”
― Robert Jordan, quote from The Path of Daggers
“Mój lęk brał się z czegoś dużo potężniejszego i nie tak realnego jak Mark czy Teddy Giles. Nie mógł się pomieścić w jednej osobie. Ta groźba była niewidzialna, podlegała przeobrażeniom i ogarniała dosłownie wszystko. Przerażenie wywołane czymś tak niechwytnym może wskazywać, że wpadłem w obłęd, że upodobniałem się do Dana, który w ataku paranoi potrafił niewinne klepnięcie po plecach odebrać jako próbę zamachu na jego życie, ale szleńswto przybiera różne formy. Większość z nas od czasu do czasu doznaje czegoś podobnego, ulegając powabowi psychicznego rozpadu. Wtedy jednak wcale nie flirtowałem z myślą o szaleństwie. Zdawałem sobie sprawę, że duszący mnie niepokój nie jest racjonalny, ale zarazem instynktownie wiedziałem, że choć to, czego się lękam, znajduje się poza sferą rozumu, ten nonsens również potrafi być realny.”

The Awful Rowing Tow...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.
