“Honestly kiddo? You’re beautiful. You use your weight as an excuse but you’re just all woman. Not every woman has to look like a stripper. Or a model. Or Megan Fox. You’re petite, have a tiny waist, a fantastic rack, a devastating ass…what the hell more do you want? You should know it. Everyone else knows it…that’s why you’re getting all these asinine comments. Can’t you just see that it’s just jealously that’s ripping these people apart?”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“Who can resist this handsome mug?” He stroked his broad jaw and I tried my hardest not to nod along. “Complete with rapist facial hair,” I added.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I still need you," I murmured. He rested his forehead against mine and closed his eyes, his breathing irregular. Then his lips found mine again. It made my heart ache, made my soul ache. I loved him far too much.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“What if I really am alone?”
“Baby, you aren’t alone. I’m here.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I guess I am just a pervert with rapist facial hair.”
“Well, you’re my kind of pervert.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I hated how easily my feelings got involved in every single thing he did or said. I always thought maybe it intensified when we were apart, you know, like a celebrity you'd pine after from afar. But it only grew when we were together. Sometimes it felt like looking at his face and just accepting the way things were between us was the hardest thing in the world.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I hope next time you feel – well, retarded – about yourself, you’ll remember that I think you’re…”
I looked up into his eyes. They were drunk, yes, but still absolutely mesmerizing.
He didn’t finish his sentence. Instead he said, “Sorry I licked your face.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I have your back, OK? Don’t forget that. I won’t let you.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“In all of our experiences together, there always was that moment that I could have turned back and I never ever did. Even if it scared me to the core, to the very soul and fiber of my being, I still went forward into the unknown. Some may call that brave. I don't think I'd call it that. Stubborn beyond repair seemed more fitting.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I guess when you expect the worst it’s always a pleasant surprise if everything ends up going smoothly.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“Relax,” he whispered. “You’re as stiff as a board.” No, I thought, you’re as stiff as a board. Which was true, I could feel that against my legs.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“Dex:
" Now, without any more jerking off from you, I suggest you get packing as fast as you can. I’ll help. Where are your bras and underwear?”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I have never wanted someone so badly before, mentally and physically, that I was afraid my body might act without any instructions from me.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“Parents just don’t understand,” I said into the blanket, my voice muffled. “What?” she asked. I rolled over and gave her a weak smile. “Will Smith was onto something.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“Because I think everything happens for a reason and I think we need to go through shit sometimes to strengthen ourselves for whatever happens down the line.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“Even beyond the worry that I would molest him at some point (which I knew wouldn’t happen) – it was the idea that we would be alone on the “Island of Death” together.”
― Karina Halle, quote from Dead Sky Morning
“I briefly wondered if children her age were taught to fear the rapist moustache because that’s one thing that would have had me running the other way (that and a white Chevy Astro van with no windows). But”

― Geraldine Brooks, quote from People of the Book

Science and Sanity:...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.
