“Beth, eat your greens. They’re good for you. Come on, eat your peas.”
“I don’t want to,” she whined, and we turned to watch her push her plate back. “They’re little fuckers.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“Are you Hannah’s boyfriend?”
… Marco’s reply was, “Nope. She won’t let me be.”
Beth had immediately turned her cute look of consternation on me. “That’s really rude, Hannah.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“You’re stalking me?”
“I’d prefer to call it actively pursuing you.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place

― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“When we were kids, I was in love with you … That never went away, Hannah.” He rested his forehead against mine. “And now that I know you again, I’m even more in love with you.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“Cole: "One day you'll meet someone you can stand to commit to, and I'll meet someone who isn't batshit crazy."
Hannah: "Oh, you dreamer you.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“When I’m with you it feels like everything’s going to be okay. I can’t explain it.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I don’t care if you’ve changed. I don’t care who you are now. I don’t need or want your explanations because what you did, you didn’t do it to me, you did it to that girl you left behind. And I’m not her anymore. You made certain of that. She might have needed answers and an apology, but me…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“It’s no problem.” Marco shrugged. “You’re family.”
Her eyes bugged out at me and she whispered comically, “I’m family.”
I patted her shoulder. “They’re not the Mafia, Liv. Calm down.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place

― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I know you still care.” His words whispered across my lips, his mouth almost touching mine. I shivered, my breath stuttering. “And, baby,” he continued, “I don’t think I can pretend any longer that I don’t think about being inside you nearly every hour of every day.”
His words were almost the equivalent of his mouth between my legs.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“You don’t owe me anything.”
“Yes, I fucking do,” he said abruptly. “Whatever this is” – he gestured between us – “it’s important.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I’m not going to hide that I want to get to know who you are now. I’m also not going to hide the fact that I think you’re still the classiest, most fucking beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, or the fact that I remember the taste of you and it still makes me hard.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“Friends, my ass,” Joss grunted … “The sexual tension between you two is off the charts.” Her grin turned smug. “Reminds me of me and Mr Carmichael.”
“No details.” Ellie held up a hand, her eyes pleading.
“I wasn’t going to,” Joss assured her, but we knew where her mind had wandered by the still smug smile curing her mouth and the heat in her eyes.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“Marriage is about leverage?"
"Yes." Every single married person at the table answered.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I can tell you that it's okay to feel whatever it is you're feeling right now. It's okay to miss him and it's okay to hurt and it's okay to feel lost-just as long as you come to me, or your friends, or your family, when all those feelings try to overwhelm you. Because in amongst all those feelings, some of you are going to be angry, and some of you will need someone to blame. It's okay to be angry. I can't tell you if it's right or wrong to feel blame, but what I can say is don't be angry for too long and don't hold on to the blame forever. That kind of anger can take away a piece of you, a piece of you that you might not get back.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I won't lie to you. This changes things. It may even change you. I know it will change me."
"I guess it's a reminder of the uncertainty in life and the foolishness of merely existing when the world is pleading with you to live. If you take anything from this, please take that. We take life for granted. We have to stop that. We have to start living.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I would like to remind you, though, that the only things in your life that are irreplaceable are sitting in this room with you.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“Why it is that life can change so quickly?"
"How it's possible for a heart to stop beating so suddenly, instantly breaking all the hearts that were ever connected to it? But the truth is there is no sense in what happened to Jarrod. None that I can see. I wish I had a better answer, but I don't.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I was done with him giving me space. I wanted a new kind of comfort from him. Specifically in the form of orgasms.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I’d felt lost for a long time after he left. It had taken a while to find my strength and independence again. It had meant hardening my heart and creating little locked doors in my soul so that only the people I trusted implicitly could ever make it inside to touch it.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I would rather have an elephant with a flatulence problem sit on my face.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Fall from India Place
“I don't think God's a woman, if that is what you're asking.”

“You must remember that there was virtually no air travel in the early 1930s. Africa was two weeks away from England by boat and it took you about five weeks to get to China. These were distant and magic lands and nobody went to them just for a holiday. You went there to work. Nowadays you can go anywhere in the world in a few hours and nothing is fabulous anymore.”
― Roald Dahl, quote from Boy: Tales of Childhood

“All elements have a counterweight. Fire is the counterweight of water. Air is the counterweight of earth. The counterweight of chaos is the soul.”

“بشنو این نکته که خود را ز غم آزاده کنی
خون خوری گر طلب روزی ننهاده کنی
آخرالامر گل کوزه گران خواهی شد
حالیا فکر سبو کن که پر از باده کنی
گر از آن آدمیانی که بهشتت هوس است
عیش با آدمی ای چند پری زاده کنی
تکیه بر جای بزرگان نتوان زد به گزاف
مگر اسباب بزرگی همه آماده کنی
اجرها باشدت ای خسرو شیرین دهنان
گر نگاهی سوی فرهاد دل افتاده کنی
خاطرت کی رقم فیض پذیرد هیهات
مگر از نقش پراگنده ورق ساده کنی
کار خود گر به کرم بازگذاری حافظ
ای بسا عیش که با بخت خداداده کنی
ای صبا بندگی خواجه جلال الدین کن
که جهان پرسمن و سوسن آزاده کنی”
― Hafez, quote from The Divan

The ConfusionBookQuoters 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.
