“Every devil needs an angel. And she was mine.”
“You were the villain in your own story, Martinez. In mine, you’ve always been my hero.”
“The best thing to ever come out of your mouth was my cock.”
“Even the devil was an angel once, Alejandro.”
“She was trying to save me when all I would do was destroy her.”
“She needed to stay away from me. I wanted her to stay away from me. I should've made her leave, but it didn't matter because I couldn't stay away from her any longer. And in the end... I didn't fucking want to. So instead, I watched her sleep. Protecting her the only way I knew how. Except there was no protecting her.. From. Me.”
“If I wanted a comeback, I’d ask you to spit.”
“Even the Devil was an angel once, Alejandro. It’s only a matter of time until you become El Diablo, too.” I”
“The blonde’s heads that was sucking my cock tried to look up, but I pushed her back down. “Did I say you could stop?”
“Peace, I leave with you. My peace I give you,” I whispered”
“You’re strong, you’re resilient, you fight for everything you believe in, especially me. It didn’t matter how many times I tried to push you away, knowing everything about us was wrong. You wouldn’t have it. You were never scared of me, Lexi. As much as I tried to show you my Hell, you were more than willing to burn right along with me.”
“Don’t knock on the devil’s door, sweetheart, and expect him not to answer.”
“Little did she know, I was the villain in this story.”
“The best thing to ever come out of your mouth was my cock. Now get the fuck out.” “You’re an asshole!” “If I wanted a comeback, I’d ask you to spit.” She stomped her way toward the door, like I gave a fuck.”
“I own your balls, huh?” she grinned, laughing. “I’ll have to remember that the next time you give me any shit.” “The right and the left. Since you put them in your mouth, I guess that counts for something, right?” Her eyes widened. “Oh my God! You ruined it! You suck!” I kissed her lips. “You swallow.” She tried to slap my arm, but I caught her wrist. “You”
“So here I am… What can my cock make you forget tonight?”
“You were the villain in your own story, Martinez. In mine, you’ve always been my hero.”
“Is this what you want? Is that why you brought me here tonight? To fuck you? Because once I’m inside you, I won’t hold back. I won’t stop until I have explored every last inch of your body,” I admitted, needing her to know what she was getting herself into. “I don’t make love, Sophia. I fuck. I fuck long. I fuck hard. I want to fuck you. It’s taking every ounce of restraint inside of me right now to not take you like that. It’s all I know. I’ve never made love, baby. But I want to… with you.” Every”
“Literary scholar Hamid Dabashi notes the curious case of the English language novel The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, written by a traveler named James Morier, who pretended he had merely translated a Persian original. Morier used a ridiculous diction in his novel to lampoon Persian speech and depicted Iranians as dishonest scoundrels and buffoons. Then, in the 1880s, an astounding thing happened. Iranian grammarian Mirza Habib translated Hajji Baba into Persian. Remarkably, what in English was offensive racist trash became, in translation, a literary masterpiece that laid the groundwork for a modernist Persian literary voice and “a seminal text in the course of the constitutional movement.” The ridicule that Morier directed against Iranians in an Orientalist manner, the translator redirected against clerical and courtly corruption in Iranian society, thereby transforming Hajji Baba into an incendiary political critique.2”
“He saw the Constitution as the vehicle to keep ecumenical passions in check.”
“You can't do anything about the past, it's done and can't be mended. But the future is different, if you just think what you really want and reach out and take it.”
“It is a mistake to restrict oneself in one’s pleasures,’ Ross said. ‘One should never risk being thought a Puritan.”

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.
