“Love is not the absence of logic
but logic examined and recalculated
heated and curved to fit
inside the contours of the heart”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Choosing to be with you, isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline...It's easy. Incredibly easy.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“I wanted to tell you that I just--I miss you. And maybe that sounds ridiculous--like we barely know each other, but between the emails and texts and... everything else, I felt like we did. Like we do. and I miss--I don't know how else to say it--I miss both of you.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“You're full of contradictions, Ms. Wallace."
I looked up at him and arched a brow. "I'm a girl. That's part of the job description, Mr. Maxfield.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“The truth was, he now belonged only to my past, and it was time I begin to accept it, as much as it hurt to do so.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“The night we met—I'm not like that guy." His jaw was rigid.
"I know tha—" He placed a finger over my lips, his expression softening.
"So I don't want you to feel pressured. Or overpowered. But I do, absolutely, want to kiss you right now. Badly.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Unfortunately, the coughing drew her attention. "Are you dying or something?" she asked, affecting a perfect sneer as I shook my head. "Well, hacking up a lung out in public isn't all that attractive--just sayin'."
My face flamed, but then Benji leaned up and spoke around me. "Um, giving half the class an exhaustive summary every Monday morning--in lurid detail--of how much of an alcoholic skank you are? Isn't all that attractive either. Just sayin'.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“As for being somewhere you're not supposed to be--Maybe you're here for a reason, or there is no reason.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy

― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“If someone had asked, "How does this compare to kissing Kennedy?" I would have answered, "Who?”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Lucas: I wanted to talk to you after class, but you disappeared.
Me: I have another class right after. One of those profs who stops talking, stares at you and waits until you get to your seat if you're late.
Lucas: I would probably just walk to my seat even slower. ;)”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“He stuck the pencil over his ear, looking unconvinced. "Mmm. What position would you be the most comfortable for you?"
I couldn't say aloud the answers that popped into my head at that question, but the flush that spread across my face like wildfire gave me away. He caught his lower lip in his teeth, and I was sure it was to contain a laugh. Most comfortable position? What about with my head stuck under a pillow?”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“sometimes, how a situation is perceived carries more weight than the reality of the matter.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Bonus: I now knew what Erin meant by lickable abs.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Sisters in solidarity and all that shit.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Ugh! Erin. You have a one-track mind."
She smiled deviously. "I prefer to think of it as target-driven.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“His earlier hesitation gone, he removed the last scraps of fabric we were wearing, fixed the condom in place, kissed me fiercely and rocked into me.
Had this been Kennedy, it would have been over in a few minutes.
My last coherent thought, as Lucas took his time kissing and touching every part of me he could reach and my body arched into his, was Oh... so this is what all the fuss is about.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“I took a breath and blurted everything out before I was too chickenshit to say any of it. “I wanted to tell you that I just—I miss you. And maybe
that sounds ridiculous—like we barely know each other, but between the emails and texts and… everything else, I felt like we did. Like we do. And I
miss—I don’t know how else to say it—I miss both of you.”
He swallowed, closing his eyes and inhaling slowly. I knew he would be all rational and do-the-right-thing and he would push me away again,
and I was determined not to give him that chance. But then his eyes flashed open and he said, “Fuck it,” pushing me against the door, slamming his
forearms on either side of my head and kissing me more forcefully than I’d ever been kissed”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“He brushed my tears from my face. "How did I find you?”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“I noticed you the first week. Not just because of how pretty you are, though of course, that played into it. It was the way you lean onto your elbows when you 're listening in class, when something catches your interest. And when you laugh, it's never to get attention, it's just-laughter. The way you obssevively tuck your hair behind your ear on the left side, but let the right side fall down like a screen. And when you 're bored, you tap your foot soundlessly and move your fingers on the desktop like you 're playing an instrument. I wanted to sketch you.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“We talked--recent history only--and Lucas relayed the story of how Francis came to be his roommate. "He showed up at the door one night, demanding to be let in. Napped on the sofa for an hour, then demanded to be let out. It turned into a nightly ritual, with him staying longer and longer, until at some point I realized he'd moved in. He's basically the most brazen squatter ever.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“His hands reached for me, gripping my hipbones and pulling me forward. he stared down at me, his voice low. "There are some things I will make time for, Jacqueline.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Please touch me. I need you to touch me.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“What I can't do anywhere is be with you.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“Choosing to be with you isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline," he breathed, pulling back one final time to stare into my eyes. "It's easy. Incredibly easy.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“His jaw clenched. "Okay, so I guess trying to let you down easy was a bad idea--"
"This is your idea of letting me down easy? Breaking up with me so you can screw other girls? Without feeling guilty? Are you serious?"
"As a heart attack."
The last thing I thought before I picked up my econ textbook and hurled it at him: How can he use such a piece-of-shit cliche in a moment like this?”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“The way he kissed me felt like a brand. Like he was tattooing himself under my skin.”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“A word of advice, though. This won't be the last time you have to deal with something in life that throws you off your game. In future courses, as well as in the real world--such as it is--professors and employers won't always be accommodating. We all have to--what's my daughter's terminology--suck it up and deal?”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“So when do we get to the junk-kicking?”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“He took one of my hands in his, and I brought the other to his face, wondering how his eyes could look like chipped ice and still warm me to my core.”

“Zoe loved Trancas's mother. She respected her exhausted and ironic hope for rebirth.”
― Michael Cunningham, quote from Flesh and Blood
“N'y a-t-il pas de gracieuses similitudes entre les commencements de l'amour et ceux de la vie? Ne berce-t-on pas l'enfant par de doux chants et de gentils regards? Ne lui dit-on pas de merveilleuses histoires qui lui dorent l'avenir? Pour lui l'espérance ne déploierait-elle pas incessamment ses ailes radieuses? Ne verse-t-il pas tour à tour des larmes de joie et de douleur? Ne se querelle-t-il pas pour des riens, pour des cailloux avec lesquels il essaie de se bâtir un mobile palais, pour des bouquets aussitôt oubliés que coupés? N'est-il pas avide de saisir le temps, d'avancer dans la vie? L'amour est notre seconde transformation.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from Eugénie Grandet
“The point is, you should have stayed right where you were and let us handle this. Now we're going to have to tie up your uncle and put him in one of the cells or something until we sort out everything and can prove your innocence.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from The Renegade Hunter
“14 Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had* the power of death. 15 Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.”
― quote from Holy Bible: New Living Translation
“In my novel, a couple hold each other close as a raging fire spreads through their room. They know they can’t leave. Fire has sealed off all windows and corridors, leaving them only one thing to do: make love madly in the heart of the blaze.”

Paper PrincessBookQuoters 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.
