― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“Fuck you. (Dev)
Thank you so much for the offer, but while you do have a certain feminine quality in your demeanor and a remarkable head of hair that any woman would envy, you’re far too hairy for my tastes. No offense. (Fury)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“I’m going. But before I do, let me congratulate all of you on your stupidity. (Fury)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“You look like shit. (Vane)
Yeah, well, I wouldn’t date you either, asshole. (Fury)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark

They’re on crack. (Fury)
Anyone else on crack? (Savitar)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“Good grief, Fury, warn me if you’re going to jump in here naked. (Bride)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“Count yourself lucky. I watched my entire family as they were eaten alive by the very pack of animals you have downstairs in your house with your child. The blood of my parents flowed from their bodies through the floorboards and drenched me while I lay in terror of being torn apart by them. I was only a year older than your child when it happened. My parents gave their lives for mine and I watched as they gave them. So you’ll have to excuse me if I have a hard time thinking good of any animal except those who are dead or caged. (Angelia)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark

“You know what really kills me over this is that I’ve never seen two animals act more human. What kind of Romeo-Juliet bullshit are they playing anyway?
Hell if I know. He says she’s the only one who understands him. Given the girly way he’s been acting lately, I actually agree with that ‘cause I definitely don’t get any of it. If he starts wearing lipstick and pink, I vote we take him out and shoot him. Put his whiny ass out of my misery.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“We have another confession from Dare Kattalakis. Going once, going twice…are there any more confessions in the room? Anyone else want to admit to shooting a lion? Didn’t think so. (Savitar)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“Then I’ll do some digging. (Fury)
You just can’t help this kamikaze streak you have, can you? (Sasha)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“The smile he gave her was wistful, just a little lift to his mouth. "You are a fighter."
""Yes. Always. And sometimes I'm a whole army.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“Wait your turn, Lion, or I’ll be wearing your eyeballs as jewelry. (Savitar)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“I can’t believe you were going to call me a liar and take my place under the guillotine. Next time I try to save you, woman, you better stay saved. (Fury)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“I warn you now. Anything happens to my mate or my son, we will hunt you down and rip you into so many pieces they’ll never find all of you. (Vane)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“I’m an Aristos. I don’t think you want to tangle with me. (Angelia)
Like I give a shit. I’m a god, baby, so in the grand scheme of things, if I wanted to rip your head off and use it for a bowling ball, there’s not many who could stop me and most of those who could would be too afraid of me to even try. (Zarek)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“Since when does a dog care about what it humps? (Dev)
I could go so low with that that even the gutter would envy us, but…I know what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to provoke a fight with me so that you can legally turn me away. I really, really want to give you that fight, too, but I have to see Sasha and it can’t wait. Sorry. We’ll have to hump and fight later. (Fury)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“It’s for Carson. (Margery)
And I repeat what I said. Just what I need, a bunch of drunk fucks working on me. Remind me not to do anything stupid tonight. Oh wait, I’m here. Too late for that warning, huh? (Fury)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“I’m just doing a favor for my brother. (Fury)
That’s what I told myself, too. But the problem with family, they get you into shit and then abandon you to it. Or worse, get themselves killed off. (Sasha)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“I’m not an animal. I don’t pretty on people’s families to get back at them. (Angelia)
Oh, girl, trust me. Animals don’t revenge-kill or –attack. That’s purely human. So in this case, you better act like an animal and guard her with your life. ‘Cause that’s what I’m going to take if she so much as gets a paper cut in your presence. (Vane)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark
“The kingdom of God is not our only inheritance. In His last will and testament, Jesus left His heirs something else, something very special: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27).”
― R.C. Sproul, quote from The Holiness of God

― Kresley Cole, quote from If You Dare
“La cenere s'indurì, cadde altra pomice. L'interno dei cadaveri marcì e insieme a loro, con il passare dei secoli, marcì anche il ricordo dell'esistenza in quel punto di una città. Pompei divenne una città di cittadini vuoti dai contorni perfetti, stretti l'uno all'altro o isolati, con gli abiti volati via o sollevati sul capo, che tentano disperatamente di afferrare i loro oggetti più adorati senza riuscire a stringere nulla tra le mani: vuote entità sospese a mezz'aria al livello dei tetti.”
― Robert Harris, quote from Pompeii
“(...) Qual sera o destino de Helène? O meu, certamente. Que meios têm as mães de assegurar às suas filhas que o homem ao qual elas serão entregues será o esposo de seus corações? As pobres criaturas que se vendem por alguns trocados a um homem qualquer são humilhadas, mas a fome e a necessidade absolvem essas uniões efêmeras; enquanto a sociedade tolera e encoraja a união imediata, da mesma maneira horrível, de uma jovem menina ingênua e de um homem que ela mal conhecia há três meses; ela é vendida por toda sua vida. É verdade que o preço é alto! Se, não permitindo nenhum compensação a suas dores, ele será honrado; mas, não, o mundo calunia as mais virtuosas dentre nós! Este é nosso destino, visto sob duas faces: uma prostituição pública e a vergonha, e uma prostituição secreta e a tristeza. Quanto às pobres meninas sem dote, elas se tornam loucas, elas morrem; para elas, não há piedade! A beleza, as virtudes não são valores no bazar humano, e esse antro de egoísmo é chamado de Sociedade. Mas que as mulheres sejam deserdadas! Ao menos assim, uma lei da natureza será cumprida ao escolher as companhias, casando-as segundo a vontade de seus corações.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from A Woman Of Thirty
“Kate, I’m—”
I whirl around and point a finger at him. “If you tell me you’re sorry, I will kick your balls up into your eye sockets, I swear to God!”
He closes his mouth. Smart move.”
― Emma Chase, quote from Twisted
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.
