Quotes from Dime Store Magic

“A stereotype becomes a stereotype when a significant percentage of the population appears to conform to it.”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

“Could you please put this--could you all put these--could you get dressed, please?"

"The Goddess requires you to be naked on my lawn?”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

“I'd seen more cops in the last few days than on a weekend LAW and ORDER marathon" - Paigne Winterbourne”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

“I opted for the rear door, both as a courtesy and so she couldn't freak out about me showing up on her front doorstep for all of East Falls to see. Being the village pariah does make social calls most trying.

-Paige”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

“When I stepped outside, the Wiccans stopped, turning as one body and bestowing beatific smiles on me...

"Sister Winterbourne" the first one said. She threw open her arms, embrace me, planted a kiss on my lips, then another on my left breast. I yelped...

I grabbed the nearest discarded robe. "Could you please put this-- Could you all put these-- Could you get dressed, please?" The woman only bestowed a serene smile on me. "We are as the Goddess requires." "The Goddess requires you to be naked on my lawn?" "We aren't naked child, we're skyclad."...

"That's --uh--very-- I mean--" I stammered. Be polite, I reminded myself. Witches should respect Wiccans, even if we didn't quite get the whole Goddesss-Worship thing. I knew some Wiccans, and they were very nice people, though I must admit they'd never arrived in my backyard naked and kissed my tits before.”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

“According to Cortez, the Cabals had strict policies against employing any supernatural being that might mistake them for lunch.”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

“I ran my tongue along the top of his underwear, letting it slide underneath. Then i shifted my body forward, lips moving back up his chest, until i was straddling him again.”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Dime Store Magic

About BookQuoters

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.
