“If Sasha’s threatened, Astrid’s upset. If Astrid’s upset, I’m going to kill whatever’s upsetting her until she’s happy again. (Zarek)”
― 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
“You know him? (Papa Bear)
I used to. But if you guys want to chop him up and make hamburgers out of him, I wouldn’t mind in the least. Hell, I’ll even go get the grinder. (Fury)”
― 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

Then I’ll try not to piss on the floor or hump the furniture…your leg, though, might be another matter. (Fury)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dead After Dark

― 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

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

I don’t know. Apparently I’m having a moment of extreme stupidity. (Angelia)”

Believe me, I’m well acquainted with your willingness to stab and kill in cold blood. (Fury)”
― 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)”

“This is what primate sex hormones do: “They make individuals perceive other individuals as more attractive than they’d normally perceive them.” Hormones are nature’s three bottles of beer.”
― Mary Roach, quote from Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex
“Meanwhile, every so often, your children come to visit. They are, amazingly, completely charming people. You can’t believe you’re lucky enough to know them. They make you laugh. They make you proud. You love them madly. They survived you. You survived them. It crosses your mind that on some level, you spent hours and days and months and years without laying a glove on them, but don’t dwell. There’s no point. It’s over. Except for the worrying. The worrying is forever.”
― Nora Ephron, quote from I Feel Bad about My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman
“Whether or not the fame of Gilgamesh of Uruk had reached the Aegean – and the idea is attractive – there can be no doubt that it was as great as that of any other hero. In time his name became so much a household word that jokes and forgeries were fathered onto it, as in a popular fraud that survives on eighth-century B.C. tablets which perhaps themselves copy an older text. This is a letter supposed to be written by Gilgamesh to some other king, with commands that he should send improbable quantities of livestock and metals, along with gold and precious stones for an amulet for Enkidu, which would weigh no less that thirty pounds. The joke must have been well received, for it survives in four copies, all from Sultantepe.”
― quote from The Epic of Gilgamesh
“DJing for people is fun until someone comes up with a phone screen that has 'PLAY SOME RIHANNA' written on it. I prefer to play older songs because they're the ones I personally enjoy dancing and singing along to and modern dance music bores my brains out.”

“The Fool card represented one who walked without fear, aware of the choices she made in the journey of life, life itself being defined as a state of courage and wisdom and not an uncontrollable participation in society, as many people experienced their lives.”

Born of BetrayalBookQuoters 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.
