“I run to run." ~ Sam”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“In that moment, I realized that he always had that affect on me. The ice façade I reined over myself was plucked away whenever his attention was on me. He reached over and took it away like I was a baby with candy.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“His hand slid back up to my shoulder. He gave me a pat. "Threesome fearsome. No one stands a chance."
I grinned at him. "What about Nate?"
He tapped his beer with mine. "When he's around, it's the foursome fearsome. You can add any 'some to that name. Thank goodness, huh?" Then he groaned. "I really need to get laid tonight.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“People are snakes, you just have to figure out their different colors, but they're all the same. Everybody wants something.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Mason slid down beside me and Logan curled an arm around my shoulder. He drawled against my cheek, "It'll throw them off. Their visionary senses will tell them we're screwing and they'll get confused." His hand slid down towards my breast.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“He came back up with a brighter smile. "And I'm proven right, again! You guys should hire me for this talent I have. Mom, I bet you have a better sex life with that Garrett dude than you did with dad."
"Logan!"
He turned towards James. "And dad, I bet your sex life is pretty good with Analise. She strikes me as the slutty type."
"Logan!"
He grinned broadly. "And David…I don't know you that well, but you strike me as conservative. You're only going to be with a conservative woman, maybe one that looks exotic though. I can tell you have control issues. You don't like anyone who is wilder than you, probably why you had problems with your ex, huh? As for the current one, she's hot under the covers, but I don't know if you want her to be." He shook his head in sympathy. "You might want to take care of that.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Logan reached out and caught my shoulders when I started to leave. He pulled me back against his chest and enfolded his arms over my chest. "Ah, our little sister, trying to be all nice and saintly."
Mason snorted and opened the door. "Saints don't set cars on fire."
We all piled out behind him and Logan chuckled. "There's that, yeah.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“He flipped up his middle finger. "I don't care. I can't handle this. My game is talk. You tried to take that away." He shot an arm towards Mason. "He fights. I talk. That's the magic of our twosome fearsome.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“It seems like it's my night with Becky tonight, she's down in the dumps because of Adam."
"The quarterback who wants to bang you?"
I shook my head. He knew exactly who Adam was. "Yes, she likes him."
He grimaced. "She could have better taste in men."
"You want her to go after you instead?"
His eyes got wide. "You should encourage those two to date.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“You're so secretive, Samantha. We had no idea you liked to run."My eyebrow shot up. "Well, how could you? We've been such great friends since…" I waited a beat and gave my own forced laugh. "Oh, that's right. We're not friends.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“He whistled. "Are you serious? I was sure I saw Mason showing you."
My hand clamped down on his shoulder and he winced, howling under his breath. "Remove the claws, Sam. Seriously.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Logan shot to his feet. "I can't keep quiet anymore. You all are stupid idiots if you think that. Don't you know her? Don't you know Mason? My god, I'm embarrassed to call you ass-dults!”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“I glared at her, but gentled as I looked at my father. "It's not a cry for help, David. It's—"
"They're hot as hell for each other!" Logan shot to his feet. "I can't keep quiet anymore. You all are stupid idiots if you think that. Don't you know her? Don't you know Mason? My god, I'm embarrassed to call you ass-dults!"
"Logan," his mother hissed. "Shut up.
You promised."
He flipped up his middle finger. "I don't care. I can't handle this. My game is talk. You tried to take that away." He shot an arm towards Mason. "He fights. I talk. That's the magic of our twosome fearsome.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Yeah. He looked like a cat who'd found his favorite mouse wounded or something. It was eerie. And he started to make fun of her, like all cruel and stuff. The things he said to her were horrible and he was only playing with her. She didn't try to defend herself. I guess Mason Kade really hates that girl, and the way he ripped into her. It was something else."
"He enjoyed it." Adam's voice was quiet.
I looked over and held his gaze. Something dark was in their depths.
He spoke again, "It was like an animal that was playing with its kill before they fully killed it. That's what he was doing with her. I've never seen anything like it before.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“She's conquered and proved her loyalty runs deep." He flinched. "Real deep if I'm guessing at how far Mason goes in her—”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“People don't know what they're made of until they're tested.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“I was broken. I didn't need to break anyone else with me.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Fuck your brothers in the ass backwards.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Mason moved back and whispered as his lips teased my skin, "You're going to ride me long and hard tonight." I grinned against his neck. It was what every girl wanted to hear.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Cheaters can always tell when they've met another cheater. Congrats on being in that special club.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Fun was fun and Sam was strung like a violin. I could play sweet music when I plucked at some of her strings.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“I had called that right. Mason said she was different. He was right, but I wasn't going to figure her out. That was all him. My job was to play with her.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Oh how those eyes could unravel my wardrobe in a heartbeat.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“I tried to gentle it. “Are you two pissing on each other for my friendship? I don’t deal with that. You both should know that.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“People are snakes, you just have to figure out their different colors, but they're all the same. Everybody wants something.”
― Tijan, Fallen Crest High”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“We’ve both had to deal with you.” David added, “It’s a bonding experience.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“It was a Friday night, two in the morning, and my two best friends were shrieking”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High

“As he yawned again and tried to cover it with his hand, I thought he looked adorable. His eyes were softer from the fatigue and his eyelids drooped a bit.”
― Tijan, quote from Fallen Crest High
“Jeff whispered in my ear, “Can we please go somewhere? You walked in that door and I got hard.”
“Sweet nothings. That’s what I look forward to from you.” I patted his cheek and walked away.

“And I knew in my bones that Emily Dickinson wouldn't have written even one poem if she'd had two howling babies, a husband bent on jamming another one into her, a house to run, a garden to tend, three cows to milk, twenty chickens to feed, and four hired hands to cook for. I knew then why they didn't marry. Emily and Jane and Louisa. I knew and it scared me. I also knew what being lonely was and I didn't want to be lonely my whole life. I didn't want to give up on my words. I didn't want to choose one over the other. Mark Twain didn't have to. Charles Dickens didn't.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, quote from A Gathering Light
“So what is the answer? How can you stand your ground when you are weak and sensitive to pain, when people you love are still alive, when you are unprepared?
What do you need to make you stronger than the Interrogator and the whole trap?
From the moment you go to prison you must put your cozy past firmly behind you. At the very threshold, you must say to yourself: "My life is over, a little early to be sure, but there's nothing to be done about it. I shall never return to freedom. I am condemned to die—now or a little later. But later on, in truth, it will be even harder, and so the sooner the better. I no longer have any property whatsoever. For me those I love have died, and for them I have died. From today on, my body is useless and alien to me. Only my spirit and my conscience remain precious and important to me."
Confronted by such a prisoner, the Interrogation will tremble.
Only the man who has renounced everything can win that victory.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, quote from The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956: An Experiment in Literary Investigation, Volume 1
“Here." Sam came over, stripped down to his boxers. "Hunch forward and put your head down."
Robin looked at him. "My safe word is monkey.”

“Not my manner of thinking but the manner of thinking of others has been the source of my unhappiness.”

The Female EunuchBookQuoters 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.
