“I'll never tire of her warm smile or bright green eyes. She's mine, in sickness and in health, till death do us part-scratch that- even in the afterlife she's mine and I'll fight any spirity-ghost bastard that attempts to fuck this up.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“I'm the man of the house, the husband-fuck it- I'm the king, and I had to make my queen happy.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“Mine will say; 'If you want to join my social circle, don't bang my friends. Shit gets REAL weird, REAL quick.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“He is annoying-quite possibly the most annoying man I've ever met, and I fucking love him. I love him with everything I have, and tonight i promised I will for the rest of my life.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“....They're called "better halves" for a reason, I guess. You can't have one half that's worse than you. It'd be a disaster.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“I learned one thing; you should endeavor to find the one person you're comfortable with. You should go out of your way to find someone who makes you smile at the same time they make you mad. You should find someone who doesn't give you ultimatums, but is willing to grow with you and not for you. The right person for you will grow beacause they want to, not because you want them to. You should find someone who knows exactly how to make it up to you when they make mistakes- and remember, everyone makes mistakes.
No one should settle for less.
Everyone deserves their own Seth.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“I’m egotistical, spoiled and arrogant. She’s kind, generous, and thoughtful.
They’re called ‘better halves’ for a reason, I guess.
You can’t have one half that’s worse than you. It’d be a disaster.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“Seth looks positively delicious in a black three piece suit, but personally, I think it'll look better on the floor somewhere- maybe thrown over the seats in the car.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“Don Russell took from Seth and Seth doesn't fare well when his things are taken.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Forever Consumed
“I'm the man of the house, the husband-fit it- I'm the king, and I had to make my queen happy.”

“What fabrications they are, mothers. Scarecrows, wax dolls for us to stick pins into, crude diagrams. We deny them an existence of their own, we make them up to suit ourselves -- our own hungers, our own wishes, our own deficiencies.”
― Margaret Atwood, quote from The Blind Assassin
“A book unopened alters not the ink on its pages. What is there is there.”
― J.R. Ward, quote from Lover Unbound
“The prisons in the United States had long been an extreme reflection of the American system itself: the stark life differences between rich and poor, the racism, the use of victims against one another, the lack of resources of the underclass to speak out, the endless "reforms" that changed little. Dostoevski once said: "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons."
It had long been true, and prisoners knew this better than anyone, that the poorer you were the more likely you were to end up in jail. This was not just because the poor committed more crimes. In fact, they did. The rich did not have to commit crimes to get what they wanted; the laws were on their side. But when the rich did commit crimes, they often were not prosecuted, and if they were they could get out on bail, hire clever lawyers, get better treatment from judges. Somehow, the jails ended up full of poor black people.”
― Howard Zinn, quote from A People's History of the United States

Turtles All the Way...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.
