“Electrical shivers shoot up my leg.
And my knee is such a slut!
She likes it! She's that friend you have. The one who you tell you're on a diet and the next day shows up with cupcakes and says, Aww, just one won't hurt.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“I did it because I think it's time you finally knew that the stars were always for you. Always. Only. Ever. For you.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“I gotta go. Just got a taker on the rope.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“He takes a deep breath and gives me one of those smiles that almost blinds me. The kind of smile that makes me want to drag him to a little chapel in the woods, say I do, and make him the last boy I ever kiss.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“This is ridiculous, Maggie. I’m going to tell him to put his shirt back on.” She gives me an evil eye. “Don’t you dare. You’ll cause a riot.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“Riley: “I grind so fine, I’m practically coffee,” he says with a straight face, then busts out a grin.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“I think I’ll leave it off, just for you. You can think about us naked. Hammering. Nailing. Pounding. Screwing.” He gives me a totally naughty and completely adorable smirk. “I will be thinking no such things.” “Oh, yeah, you will. It will be all you think about for the rest of the day.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“I can’t help but laugh. “You totally butchered that cheer.” “Yeah, I need a little more work on the motions. I can remember football plays, but these stupid arm motions are just confusing.” “Do you want me to help you? I know that cheer.” “Maybe you can come teach me in my room. I’d probably learn it better if we were naked.” “If you were naked, there wouldn’t be any cheering going on.” “You cheer me on sometimes. Go, Dawes!” I smack his shoulder. “Shut up. You should hear yourself.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me
“Braxton: Tell me what girls want.
Me: I think that depends on the girl. Also depends what kind of girl you want.
Braxton: Right now, I’d like a trio of slutty girls. All naked together in my room with nothing to do but me.
Me: Let’s try to deal with reality.
Braxton: I was. I originally wanted a harem.
Me: Fine. Three slutty girls it is.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Date Me

“Con los países pobres ocurre lo mismo que ocurre con los pobres de cada país: los medios masivos de comunicación sólo se dignan echarles una ojeada cuando ofrecen alguna desgracia espectacular que puede tener éxito en el mercado. ¿Cuántas personas deben ser destripadas por guerra o terremoto, o ahogadas por inundación, para que algunos países sean noticia y aparezcan por una vez en el mapa del mundo? ¿Cuántos espantos debe acumular un muerto de hambre para que las cámaras lo enfoquen por una vez en la vida? El mundo tiende a convertirse en el escenario de un gigantesco reality show. Los pobres, los desaparecidos de siempre, sólo aparecen en la tele como objeto de burla de la cámara oculta o como actores de sus propias truculencias. El desconocido necesita ser reconocido, el invisible quiere hacerse visible, busca raíz el desarraigado. Lo que no existe en la televisión, ¿existe en la realidad? Sueña el paria con la gloria de la pantalla chica, donde cualquier espantapájaros se transfigura en galán irresistible. Con tal de entrar en el olimpo donde los teledioses moran, algún infeliz ha sido capaz de pegarse un tiro ante las cámaras de un programa de entretenimientos. Últimamente, la llamada telebasura está teniendo, en unos cuantos países de América latina, tanto o más éxito que las telenovelas: la niña violada llora ante el periodista que la interroga como si la violara otra vez; este monstruo es el nuevo hombre elefante, miren, señoras y señores, no se pierdan este fenómeno increíble: la mujer barbuda busca novio; un señor gordo dice estar embarazado. Hace treinta y poco años, en Brasil, ya los concursos del horror convocaban multitudes de candidatos y ganaban enormes teleaudiencias: ¿Quién es el enano más bajito del país? ¿Quién es el narigón de nariz más larga, que la ducha no le moja los pies? ¿Quién es el desgraciado más desgraciado de todos? En los concursos de desgraciados, desfilaba por los estudios la corte de los milagros: la niña sin orejas, comidas por las ratas; el débil mental que había pasado treinta años encadenado a la pata de una cama; la mujer que era hija, cuñada, suegra y esposa del marido borracho que la había dejado inválida. Y cada desgraciado tenía su hinchada, que desde la platea gritaba, a coro:
-¡Ya ganó! ¡Ya ganó!”
― Eduardo Galeano, quote from Upside Down: A Primer for the Looking-Glass World
“The simplicity of living astounds me. But it’s the terror of death that devours me.”
― L.B. Simmons, quote from The Resurrection of Aubrey Miller
“Sieh sie dir an", sagte Vincent. "Alle finden einfach zueinander. Sie kommen so mühelos zusammen. Warum passiert mir das nicht?”
― quote from Torture the Artist
“Nothing spells trouble like two drunk cowboys with a rocket launcher.”
― C.J. Box, quote from Cold Wind
“But this is only in the beginning. Just a little patience, just a little awaiting … If you go on looking, watching these thoughts silently, with no judgment, with no antagonism, with no desire even to stop them—as if you have no concern with them—unconcerned … Just as one watches the traffic on the road, or one watches the clouds in the sky, or one watches a river flow by, you simply watch your thoughts. You are not those thoughts, you are the watcher, remembering that “I am the watcher, not the watched.” You cannot be the watched, you cannot be the object of your own subjectivity. You are your subjectivity, you are the witness, you are consciousness. Remembering it. It takes a little time. Slowly, slowly the old habit dies. It dies hard but it dies, certainly. And the day the traffic stops, suddenly you are full of light. You have always been full of light, just those thoughts were not allowing you to see that which you are. When all objects have disappeared, there is nothing else to see, you recognize yourself for the first time. You realize yourself for the first time.”

TwistedBookQuoters 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.
