“Just give me a second. Attempting to give a fuck...Attempting harder to give a fuck...Sorry, there was an error; fuck not given.”
“Wouldn’t you like to slip into something more comfortable though? Perhaps a coma?”
“Love is giving someone the power to completely destroy you, and hoping that they won’t”
“She's one of those people who are like Slinkies."
"Slinkies?"
"Yeah. Basically useless, but they make you smile when you push them down the stairs.”
“Hey, I have a suggestion, why not put a condom over your head – if you’re going to act like a complete dick then it makes sense to dress like one.”
“Oh no, honey, I'm an angel, I swear. The horns are only there to hold up the halo.”
“Taryn, are you even listening to me?
“I pretended to, so let that be enough”
“Taryn,” he drawled in an impatient tone, “I am your mate –”
And I’m stubborn, if you want absolute obedience, get a Labrador.”
“Erections don’t equal personal growth, Trey”
“I don’t mind if you want to start ranting just as long as you understand I’ll be ignoring every word”
“You’re all there is for me, Taryn. I’m broken baby. You know that. Before you… it was like those bits of me were just scattered all over the place. I’ve never felt whole. Not until you. You hold those pieces together. It’s not an exaggeration when I say you hold my sanity in your hands. Without you, I’d fall apart.”
“If I want your opinion, I’ll kick it out of you, okay?”
“Grace gave her a gentle smile. "You know what the answer is, don't you? Chocolate. It's always the answer, no matter the question.”
“Cock-sucking son of a goddamn dick-faced bitch!”
“Grace’s gaze skimmed over her, taking in the various marks of possession that decorated her flesh. “Well, short of having ‘Property of Trey Coleman’ tattooed on your forehead, he couldn’t have made it any clearer that he considered you his, could he?”
“She’s my mate. She’s mine. No one keeps her from me. No one insults her. And no one – and I mean no one – talks to her the way you just did, understand me?”
“There’s no way a woman could possibly resist your charm”
Dominic smiled. “Or my dick. Don’t worry, I won’t get it out. I don’t want you all to get intimidated. and in the interest of health and safety, I think it’s better that he’s not unleashed.”
“I'm not tired. I'm just checking my eyelids for holes. It could take a while”
“You just don’t get it, do you? You have no idea how important you are to me. I need you to be okay, Taryn. I can’t be without you, you have to be here and okay or I would be able to fucking function.”
“she was a sarcastic bitch and when she was pissed off the sarcasm took on a life of it's own.”
“Taryn marvelled at how all the males could walk at such a leisurely pace yet look extremely menacing at the same time. Each of them suddenly seemed two inches taller than what they truly were and had the most sinister look. Trey… well that was another matter altogether. Scarp hostile and sinister, the guy looked like he needed a rabies shot.”
“Is there no way you could just pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow?”
“Taryn held up her index finger. “Just give me a second. Attempting to give a fuck…Attempting harder to give a fuck…Sorry, there was an error. Fuck not given.”
“I've got a better idea. I'll stay here and you can sit on my face while I eat my way to your heart.”
“She sure didn’t remember getting there. Of course, it was worth noting that she suffered from NRS syndrome (Never Remembers Shit), but this was different.”
“You know, Brodie, you’re like an STD: no one wants you, everybody hates you, and you’re a reminder of the devastating consequences of not using protection during sex.”
“Hey, I have a suggestion, why not put a condom over your head—if you’re going to act like a complete dick then it makes sense to dress like one.”
“Hmm. I really hope I don’t sound condescending—that means talking down to someone—but, you know, you really shouldn’t believe everything you think.”
“I’m thinking that I’d like to fuck that mouth of yours.” “Sorry. I was raised to never put small objects in my mouth or I might choke.” Cockeye”
“I like knowing you’re safe.” “And yet you haven’t thrown out your inherently evil grandmother.” Chuckling, he shaped her waist with his hands. “I know she’s being a little difficult right now, but she’s one of those people who grow on you.” “No, she’s one of those people who are like Slinkys.” “Slinkys?” “Yeah. Basically useless, but they make you smile when you push them down the stairs.”
“What did we do before candles?” went the local joke. “Electricity.” The joke became dated fast, because soon shops ran out of candles. My”
“A little style is a good thing, but you can't trust someone who won't be ugly in front of you.”
“firmly believe in the concept of Happily Ever After. For everyone. No matter how or who or when they fell in love. Because that love existed, they felt it, and that is worth everything. Love”
“But when I open them up, I find that they’re equal! And they both have achieved the same destiny: my zinc gurney. Why, then, did he tire himself out poring over so many books? Boh! Take my advice, journalist: eat, drink, and enjoy yourself—”
“I certainly have many enemies, and this is what will be my destruction if I am destroyed; of that I am certain; not Meletus, nor yet Anytus, but the envy and detraction of the world, which has been the death of many good men, and will probably be the death of many more; there is no danger of my being the last of them.”
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.
