“The elevator doors opened, and Ranger stepped out and spied Tank stretched out on the carpet.
"Fainted," I said.
Ranger walked to Tank and stood hands on hips, staring down at him. "Tank doesn't faint. I've been in firefights with him. He's a rock."
"Well, the rock fainted.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“I looked over at him. "Is that a proposal?"
There was total silence for a couple beats. "I'm not sure. It just popped out."

"Would you say yes?" Morelli asked.
"I'm not sure.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“Babe,' Ranger said. 'Do something with her.'
And he disconnected.
I called Ranger back. 'No,' I said. 'And I need information on Jelly Kantner. His apartment got blown up, and I need to find him.'
And I should do this why?'
Because you like me.'
There was a full beat of silence. 'I do,' Ranger said. 'I like you a lot. Sometimes I'm not sure why. Give me a couple minutes.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“The golden years are for pussies. We went straight to brass.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“I went to the door, and Gary tried hard not to notice I was blue. He looked at his feet, and he looked above my head, and he cleared his throat.
It's okay,' I said. 'I know I'm blue.'
It caught me by surprise,' he said. 'I didn't want to seem rude.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“You fainted," I told Tank.
"I did not," Tank said. "That's a lie.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“Has it ever occurred to you that you might be delusional?'
That's what the psychiatrist said, but I think he's wrong. There's an evil flying pizza out there, and it's got Brenda's name on it.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“If anything happened to you, I'd be so destroyed they'd have to strap me to a bed and feed me through a tube. After five or six years, I might be capable of taking care of Rex. In the interim, you should assign a guardian.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“Morelli smiled. "It could have been Jenny Ragucci. That makes much more sense. I had good luck with sluts."
I looked over at him.
All in the past," Morelli said. "I'm a cupcake man now."
Whoa, dude," Mooner said. "That's so, like, cosmic.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen

― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“Morelli opened a kitchen drawer, removed a gun, and stepped to the cellar door. “Wait,” I said, “maybe we should call the police.” “Cupcake, I am the police.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“Hunh,” Lula said. “You sure got a stick up your ass. When did you get so play-by-the-book?” “I’ve always been play-by-the-book. You’re the one who doesn’t play by the book.” “Well, I knew it was one of us.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“So it was okay with Tank that you bought the ring?” “Tank got a real important job,” Lula said. “He don’t necessarily have time to go shopping for shit like this.” “Does he know he’s engaged?” “Of course he knows,” Lula said.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen
“You should snap me up,” Morelli said. “Not many men would marry you after meeting your grandmother. You’re lucky to have me.”
― Janet Evanovich, quote from Fearless Fourteen

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.
