“I had severe control freak tendencies, and when I had no control—I freaked out.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“Sometimes it’s better to hold onto what you have, rather than risk what might be.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“Love doesn't come along too often. Believe me, I know. When it does, only the foolish let it fade. Even if it is him.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“I've tired so hard to stay away from you, buy your soul is so powerful. It can't be ignored. It calls to me. It's like trying to resist every lust you've ever suffered - all at once. I feel that every time I see you.”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“What is that?"..."Why do you smell like that?"...
"Smell like what?"
"You smell delicious."..."You smell like food. Why do you smell like food?”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“She was an Angel craving Chaos...
He was a demon seeking Peace...”
― H.M. Ward, quote from Demon Kissed
“He who the sword of heaven will bear
Should be as holy as severe;
Pattern in himself to know,
Grace to stand, and virtue go;
More nor less to others paying
Than by self-offences weighing.
Shame to him whose cruel striking
Kills for faults of his own liking!
Twice treble shame on Angelo,
To weed my vice and let his grow!
O, what may man within him hide,
Though angel on the outward side!
How may likeness made in crimes,
Making practise on the times,
To draw with idle spiders' strings
Most ponderous and substantial things!
Craft against vice I must apply:
With Angelo to-night shall lie
His old betrothed but despised;
So disguise shall, by the disguised,
Pay with falsehood false exacting,
And perform an old contracting.”
― William Shakespeare, quote from Measure for Measure
“What you fight weakens you; what you cooperate with strengthens you.”
― Wayne W. Dyer, quote from Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao
“While it is a truism that man has not learned much more than the sexual act, and that fire burns when you stick your hand into it, it behooves the scholar to immerse himself in the analyses of the problem, rather than the problem itself. One”
― Jim Harrison, quote from Dalva
“Obješen na nebu, Mjesec netaknute čistoće nije se brinuo za ovaj svijet prašine.”
― Shan Sa, quote from Empress
“I need you like I need my heart
to pump blood through my body, like I need air to
breathe, like we need gravity. Hell, you are my
gravity. Being with you makes me feel centered and
whole, and I’m too screwed up to convince you to want
any different. I’m too selfish to push you into someone
else’s arms when I know mine may be the worst ones
for you to be in.”
I love you.”
― Rachel Van Dyken, quote from Elite
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.
