“The last thing I wanted was to fall in love
because, deep down, I remembered that love hurt.”
“Sky, you can't ignore this!" He stood under the street lamp, sleet settling in his hair, hands fisted at his side. "You're mine - you have to be.”
“You lit me up like Vegas”
“Victor patted my hand. 'I like you, Sky. You're a fighter.'
'I am, aren't I? Hear that, Zed? No more bambi comparisons. I'm a Rottweiler -with a temper.'
'A very small Rottweiler,' said Zed, still not convinced.”
“I'm crazy, Zed.' There, I'd admitted it.
'Uh-huh. And I'm crazy too -about you.”
“Music is not take it or leave it; Music is life or death!”
“What were we talking before I was so rudely interrupted by a flying citrus ?”
“like Belgian chocolate—absolutely sinful and completely irresistible’.”
“Yeah, well, not many boys take their girls out on a duck shoot with them as target for a first date. You have to give me points for style.”
“Excuse me, Mr Tall-and-Good-looking Wolfman, but can you help the English midget reach the sauce?’ I think not.”
“Did you know that chocolate had special chemicals in it to make you feel happy?"
"I don't need an excuse for chocolate.”
“You have half our gifts. I the other. Together we make a whole. Together we are much more powerful.”
“I...I'm sorry to come like this,' I murmured.
'Stop being so damn British about it-you don't need to apologize. Ssh, it's fine.”
“I really, really like you, Sky. But if I don't stop now, your dad will kill me and that will be the end of a beautiful friendship.”
“If I'm a tuning fork, you're the perfect A, making me hum.”
“I'm a big boy. I can take it.
You got into a fight.
I'm also stupid.”
“What’s nefarious?’
‘I don’t know, but my grandma accuses me of having them when she thinks I done something bad and it sounds good.”
“You’re a bright girl, aren’t you? No pun intended.”
“She looked fragile. Alone. Prisoner in the room through the mirror; an Alice who never made it back through the looking-glass.”
“I'm not afraid of the dark.
I am. Humor me.”
“Get out of here. Yoda so does not have an English accent!'
'Other than that you're saying I'm a dead ringer?'
'If the shoe fits.'
'Sheesh, I hate tall girls.”
“Yeah, really scary," agreed Zoe, struggling not to laugh. "Like Bambi with an Uzi.”
“Think about it: the chances of meeting your other half are tiny. Most of us are doomed to knowing there's something better out there but we can't discover it.”
“They grabbed me and up I went. My shriek probably could've been heard in England. It certainly brought the basketball coach and the rest of the boys running in the belief that someone was being brutally murdered.
I don't think Mrs. Green will be picking me for the squad.”
“Fine, I'll teach you,'
'Besides, there's only so many times a girl wants to fall on her butt in front of the boy she's out to impress.”
“Wisdom you speak, Obi Tina.'
'None of that - I'm the one who gets to speak backwards - no, we're both wrong - that's the little green guy, Yoda.'
'You're right. So I just get to pout and act badly when you try and teach me anything.'
'Try channelling Luke rather than Annakin - the outcome is better.”
“Zed : Penguins, such fascinating creatures, but I didn’t know you were studying them. What class is that you’re taking?
Sky: The ‘we-stupid-looking-creature-should-stick-together’ class.”
“I shuffled to the back. ‘You there—new girl. I can’t see you.’ Precisely: that had been the idea.”
“-Nosotros,querrás decir -me corrigió mientras reía
-.Si tu don estuviera en libertad, brillarías como yo lo hago cuando estás conmigo.”
“-Nosotros,querrás decir -me corrigió mientras reía-.Si tu don estuviera en libertad, brillarías como yo lo hago cuando estás contigo.”
“CONSPIRACY is a plan to do something subversive. Three guys planning a camping trip . . . nah, that’s just three guys planning a camping trip. But three guys planning to take a camping trip and rob a bank along the way . . . that’s a conspiracy.”
“...when your heart changes, you change, and you have to make new plans.”
“God does not blame me for being an individual, but for my individualism. His greatest problem is not the outward divisions and denominations that divide His church, but our own individualistic hearts.”
“The mark of a good officer, Wegener repeatedly told his youngsters, was willingness to admit he had something yet to learn.”
“This vision tumbled over Phoebe with the force of revelation: she would stand somewhere and look back, she would live a life.”
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.
