“I barely knew Sebastian. You knew him enough to suck face. ”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“Whatever it was, it was something you could dance to, or lie down on the floor, close your eyes, and weep to.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“I glanced up into round black eyes, ringed in yellow, but in some small part I saw humanity there. Sadness. It blinked. "Made," it said quietly, almost ashamed.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“I'm not some three-hundred-year-old pervert who kisses teenage girls, okay? I'm the same age as you. Born just like you.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“Scared?" "You haven't lived until you go grave robbing.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“Thanks to Bruce and Casey, I could operate six different firearms, drop a two-hundred-pound asshole to the floor in three seconds, and cuff a perp with one hand tied behind my back.
And they called it "family time.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“I don't want blood to rule my life like it does some. Once you take it, it's like a drug." He stared out the window to the masked revelers in the courtyard. "Warm, rich, never enough."
I nodded, fidgeting with my mask. "Kind of like chocolate." I tried to hold in my grin. Casey always said I had a weird sense of humour that came at the oddest times.
He blinked before bursting into laughter. He had the nicest laugh and the most incredible smile I'd ever seen. It lit his grey eyes and sliced attractive little dimples into his cheeks. "Yeah. I guess it is like chocolate.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“Finally, after we were soaked through, he lifted his head and stared down at me, his hands cupping my face. "I thought you'd tell me to f*** off, and you'd leave. I thought every word I spoke was the last time I'd see you."
"Please. I can deal. Do you have any idea how screwed up I am?"
His crooked smile transformed his face. "Yeah. I've got some idea."
My belly went warm again. Sebastian kissed me, his lips wet from the rain.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“I don't know what you've been smoking, Henri, or what world you're living in, but no one tell us what to do.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“Yes, tell us, Ari. Tell us what you have seen."
Athena.
Dead flowers and flashing emerald beads threaded through her tangled, upswept hair.
A hard swallow went down down my throat, followed by a tightening of every muscle I possessed. All the emotions of my vision boiled over, as fresh and furious as they'd been a few moments ago. "You should know, you petty piece of shit.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“I was pretty sure I knew what I looked like: a cartoon hamster in the headlights.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“I laughed in disbelief, the sharp sound rebounding down the corridor, the echo eventually replaced by the flat, continuous drip of water against stone. First vampires, witches, and shape-shifters. And now this.
This is what Alice must have felt like when she tumbled down the rabbit hole.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her
“Josephine shrugged like it was tomatoes or tom-ah-toes.”
― Kelly Keaton, quote from Darkness Becomes Her

EnchantedBookQuoters 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.
