“Be reasonable? Fuck you. How’s that for calm and reasonable?”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“You stayed,” he murmured...
Her softly whispered answer sifted into his hair where her lips rested against the top of his head. “You didn’t let go.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“Kellan’s hand found hers, took it into his strong grasp. “There,” he said, pressing a kiss to the center of her palm. “I’ve got you, Mouse.”
“Yes, you do,” she replied.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“I love you, Mira…my Mate. My life. You’re my everything.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“As a girl, Mira had held his hand and led him out of a dark place. As a woman, she’d held his heart, despite his efforts to prove himself from caring for someone he could never bear to lose. Now he only hoped he’d find the strength to push Mira away, when all he wanted was to pull her close and never let her go.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“For us. Kellan, you have to promise me you’ll give me that chance-”
“I can’t promise you that, Mira. I can’t promise to put you through any more hurt or distress than I already have.” He took her face between his palms, tenderly smoothing his thumbs over her cheeks and her trembling mouth. “But I will promise you this: I love you. God, I always have.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“Maybe there’s a place for a rebel ghost within the Order’s ranks after all.” - Lucan”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“It felt right, seeing them joined as a mated couple. A partnership that had been tested more than most, and hard-won. Lucan”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“From this moment forward, we play by our own rules. Whatever it takes, whatever the cost. Our new mission begins now.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“After everything I’ve done,” he whispered harshly, “not only today, or eight years ago, when I left, letting you believe I was dead, but since the first day we met, Mouse. Ever since then, since the very beginning, you’ve stayed with me. You’ve always had my back.” - Kellan
“I always will,” she replied. Her voice was quiet, but her eyes were resolute. “When you love someone, that’s what you do.” - Mira”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“You were great tonight, helping with Candice’s wound and the funeral ceremony for Chaz . . . such as it was.”
“I only did what needed doing, and as for your friend’s funeral, it was a beautiful good-bye you all gave him,” she murmured. “Simple but pure. You honored him well, Kellan.”
The phrase she used—one reserved for the solemnest occasions in Breed traditions—touched him in a way he couldn’t express. Instead, he tipped her chin up on the edge of his hand and kissed her. Not the hungered kind of kiss that they’d been sharing each time they’d connected since her arrival back in his life a few days ago but a kiss shaped by tender caring and gratitude, by profound respect . . . and, yes, love.
He loved this woman.
His woman.”
― Lara Adrian, quote from Edge of Dawn
“You honor us well, warrior." - Lucan”

“What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable. But what end? There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, quote from His Last Bow
“I remember, now, how to cry.”
― Alex Flinn, quote from Breathing Underwater
“Looking down, she became aware of the water, which was covered with a film of calcinous hard-water particles of dirt and soap, and of the body that was sitting in it, somehow no longer quite her own. All at once she was afraid that she was dissolving, coming apart layer by layer like a piece of cardboard in a gutter puddle.”
― Margaret Atwood, quote from The Edible Woman
“I took [Kate's] hand in mine, and felt her fingers squeeze back. And I thought: home. It took me completely by surprise. But I suppose that once you bid farewell to your first home, you're always looking for another—that place where you can feel happy and strong and at your best. For three years I'd called the Aurora home. But now that I lived in Paris, it was not the city itself that was home. It was Kate.”
― Kenneth Oppel, quote from Skybreaker
“I could tell people anything I wanted to and whatever I told them, that would be the truth as far as they were concerned. Whoever I said I was, well, then that's who I'd be.”

SpeakBookQuoters 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.
