“The old adage "If you can't beat them, join them", to me is just a way of saying that you're weak. My motto is : "If you can't beat them, then you aren't fighting dirty enough.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“Fine, but if you get yourself killed I reserve the right to flush your ashes down the toilet while I sing the theme from Titanic.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“Romance is a lie that gives people an excuse to act like fools and later blame it on the one whom they had bestowed their supposed love upon.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“Love isn't suppose to be easy, I know that. Nothing worth having is ever easy. But it is supposed to be honest; it is supposed to be true and unconditional. Love is messy and painful and joyous and not without sacrifice. Love is supposed to conquer all. Is it enough if the love only comes from one side? Is the love of one person enough to conquer the hurt of two?”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“Change is inevitable and life changes as swiftly as the wind blows. It’s which direction that you let the wind blow you that matters.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“You are my everything, the very breath Ibreathe, the water I drink, the food I eat; you are all that I need, all that I wantand all that I am is yours.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“I told Tamsin that I didn’t believe in happily ever after anymore. I believed my heart was broken beyond repair and that anyone this broken could not possibly be happy and, therefore, never have a happy ending. I believed Trik was gone, that he had chosen a life of darkness over me. Turns out I was wrong, not about the happy part, but about Trik. He had chosen me. He saved me, or what was left of me. But I have not chosen him. I can’t. He is not what I crave and what I crave I cannot have. So I can’t choose Trik, and all that is left for me to choose is existence or death. Flip the coin, tails stares back at me. Death it is.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“You are my everything, the very breath I breathe, the water I drink, the food I eat; you are all that I need, all that I want and all that I am is yours.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“We picked our noses as children in front of people without shame. Now we just do it in secret as adults.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Elfin
“Just remember that we are not standing on a corner 'trick or treating' for the wrong kind of 'tricks and treats' okay?" Cassie said as she stepped out of the car.
Elora rolled her eyes, but then added, "That was actually a pretty good analogy".
"So glad I meet your approval," she responded, shoving the door closed.”

PaprikaBookQuoters 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 2018, 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.
