“If I had one last breath left, I would use it to tell you how much I love you, because I do, and I always will.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“- You’re mine now; I hope you realize that, I said to her.
- I was yours from the moment you asked me what my name was, she smiled.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“I noticed her smile when I called her beautiful. It made my heart do something weird which I can’t explain because I’ve never felt anything like it before.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“You don’t understand; this girl’s different. She’s beautiful, kind, giving, sweet, strong, stubborn, and quite a smart ass.”
Connor Black's thoughts on Ellery Lane”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“I’m pregnant with your child, and our child wants rocky road ice cream. What do you want me to do, starve the baby to death?”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“Why are you doing this?" I asked as I turned and looked at her.
"Because I can lay here and no one will know I'm crying," she said, looking up at the sky.
I felt a pain in my heart when she said that. She was out here, in the pouring rain, to mask the tears that plagued her face.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“Pain is a part of loving someone, and it’s something that just doesn’t go away.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“I love you, Ellery. Not only for whom you are, but for the person I’ve become because of you. This is my forever to you.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“I met a girl, Doc.”
He let out a light laugh. “You meet girls every day, Connor; this is nothing new.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“Ellery is a beautiful name, and she’s a beautiful woman,” I replied as I stared out the window.
Connor Black's thoughts on Ellery Lane.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“It sounds like the right woman just walked into your life, Connor. Just don’t screw it up. Become
friends with her. This is the first time you’ve opened up since you’ve started coming to see me. If you
start falling for Ellery, the first thing you must do is tell her about your past and the women you see.
There can be no secrets, Connor.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“Live a little, Connor, life is too short.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“Hey, Connor! Sorry I must have butt-dialed you. So, do you want to tell me how it felt being on my ass?” she laughed.
Ellery Black's BFF and her jokes.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“I can’t get her out of my mind. She’s all I keep thinking about both day and night. I haven’t been
able to concentrate on anything else. I’ve cancelled all my dates because I only want to see Ellery.”
Connor Black's thought on Ellery Lane.”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever You
“What the hell, Connor? You’re not even hard,” she snapped.
I couldn’t believe this was happening as this has never happened to me before. I sighed and took a
step back as I ran my hands through my hair and shook my head.
“I don’t know what the problem is. I’ve been under a lot of stress at work.”

“Witches didn't need blood to survive, but humans didn't need wine, either.”
― Sarah J. Maas, quote from Heir of Fire
“Some enterprising rabbit had dug its way under the stakes of my garden again. One voracious rabbit could eat a cabbage down to the roots, and from the looks of things, he'd brought friends. I sighed and squatted to repair the damage, packing rocks and earth back into the hole. The loss of Ian was a constant ache; at such moments as this, I missed his horrible dog as well.
I had brought a large collection of cuttings and seeds from River Run, most of which had survived the journey. It was mid-June, still time--barely--to put in a fresh crop of carrots. The small patch of potato vines was all right, so were the peanut bushes; rabbits wouldn't touch those, and didn't care for the aromatic herbs either, except the fennel, which they gobbled like licorice.
I wanted cabbages, though, to preserve a sauerkraut; come winter, we would want food with some taste to it, as well as some vitamin C. I had enough seed left, and could raise a couple of decent crops before the weather turned cold, if I could keep the bloody rabbits off. I drummed my fingers on the handle of my basket, thinking. The Indians scattered clippings of their hair around the edges of the fields, but that was more protection against deer than rabbits.
Jamie was the best repellent, I decided. Nayawenne had told me that the scent of carnivore urine would keep rabbits away--and a man who ate meat was nearly as good as a mountain lion, to say nothing of being more biddable. Yes, that would do; he'd shot a deer only two days ago; it was still hanging. I should brew a fresh bucket of spruce beer to go with the roast venison, though . . . (Page 844)”
― Diana Gabaldon, quote from Drums of Autumn
“Some people are born with the first word of a language resting on their tongue though it may take some time before they can taste it.”
― Shannon Hale, quote from The Goose Girl
“(...) the train goes fast and is going fast when it crosses a little trestle. You catch the sober, metallic, pure, late-light, unriffled glint of the water between the little banks, under the sky, and see the cow standing in the water upstream near the single leaning willow. And all at once you feel like crying. But the train is going fast, and almost immediately whatever you feel is taken away from you, too.”
― Robert Penn Warren, quote from All the King's Men
“Bowman was aware of some changes in his behavior patterns; it would have been absurd to expect anything else in the circumstances. He could no longer tolerate silence; except when he was sleeping, or talking over the circuit to Earth, he kept the ship's sound system running at almost painful loudness. / At first, needing the companionship of the human voice, he had listened to classical plays--especially the works of Shaw, Ibsen, and Shakespeare--or poetry readings from Discovery's enormous library of recorded sounds. The problems they dealt with, however, seemed so remote, or so easily resolved with a little common sense, that after a while he lost patience with them. / So he switched to opera--usually in Italian or German, so that he was not distracted even by the minimal intellectual content that most operas contained. This phase lasted for two weeks before he realized that the sound of all these superbly trained voices was only exacerbating his loneliness. But what finally ended this cycle was Verdi's Requiem Mass, which he had never heard performed on Earth. The "Dies Irae," roaring with ominous appropriateness through the empty ship, left him completely shattered; and when the trumpets of Doomsday echoed from the heavens, he could endure no more. / Thereafter, he played only instrumental music. He started with the romantic composers, but shed them one by one as their emotional outpourings became too oppressive. Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, lasted a few weeks, Beethoven rather longer. He finally found peace, as so many others had done, in the abstract architecture of Bach, occasionally ornamented with Mozart. / And so Discovery drove on toward Saturn, as often as not pulsating with the cool music of the harpsichord, the frozen thoughts of a brain that had been dust for twice a hundred years.”

Bread GiversBookQuoters 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.
