“I've never had to work so hard for something I never thought I wanted.”
“I race you, Ryles,” he says in a voice that’s implacable and unwavering amidst the swirling chaos.”
“We're not broken baby...we're just bent. And bent's okay. Bent means that we're just figuring things out.”
“Damn. That face is a definite work of art. You need to make sure you frame it between your legs every chance you get.”
“My God. The woman is my fucking kryptonite. How did this happen? How did I let her own me? More importantly and fucking shocking, I want her to own me. Every fucking piece of me. Game over baby. She’s my motherfucking checkered flag.”
“Spiderman. Batman. Superman. Ironman. Spiderman. Batman. Superman. Ironman.”
“Willing's good," he whispers. "Wet's even better.”
“Oh, doll, I just did. Was it you he was fucking on the hood of Sex in the parking garage before dinner? I didn't think so.”
“Sometimes the one that you assumed would be inconsequential, turns out to be the one that makes all the difference.”
“Well it seems you have me by the balls both literally and figuratively, don't you now?”
“She must have a voodoo pussy or something.”
“We’re not broken, baby…we’re just bent. And bent’s okay. Bent means that we’re just figuring things out.”
“He leans his face down, his cheek rubbing against my temple as he emits a sigh that's sounds similar to a muttered oath. And I swear it sounds like he mutters something about voodoo pussy but when I snap my head up to look at him he just shakes his head and smirks.”
“I might not be able to tell you the things you need to hear with the traditional words you need to hear them in, but I swear to God, Rylee, I will try. And if I can't, then I'll show you. I'll show you with everything I have-anything it takes-where your place is in my life”
“Roses are red. Lemons are sour. If you open your legs, I'll be there in an hour.”
“I’ve been able to block things out for so long. Ignore emotions. Ignore everything, but you? You tear down walls I didn’t even know I was building. You make me feel, Rylee.”
“Fight, Colton! For you. For us. For me. You don't get to pull away from me. You don't get to walk away without a second thought. I matter, Colton. I deserve the same more than you do. What we have is not inconsequential.”
“don’t lose yourself trying to hold onto someone who doesn’t care about losing you.”
“Listen. I know he looks like a damn Adonis and probably fucks like a stallion, but, sweetie, if he’s what you want, then it’s time to make him sweat a little.”
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way.... but have no doubt it will be my way.”
“It’s not what I think? If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck...” I imply with a shrug “...well then you know what they say.” “Nothing hap―” “Quack!” I shout at him.”
“I want you to watch me while I take you, Rylee. I want you to watch each of us as we crash over that edge. I want you to see why this is enough for me. Why I choose you.”
“Just remember what I always say; don’t lose yourself trying to hold onto someone who doesn’t care about losing you.”
“Don't lose yourself trying to hold onto someone who doesn't care about losing you.”
“I want to watch you while I take you. I want to see those eyes of yours turn hazy with desire.”
“Someone setting parameters for me. Has hell frozen over and no one told me? She had my balls in a fucking vice, and all I could think of was how much I wanted her. In my bed. In my office. At the track. In my life. And not just on her back. She must have a voodoo pussy or something.”
“I might not be able to tell you the things you need to hear with the traditional words you need to hear them in, but I swear to God, Rylee, I will try. And if I can’t, then I’ll show you. I’ll show you with everything I have—anything it takes—where your place is in my life,” he murmurs to me, shattering every last form of protection I have guarding my heart. He just stole it completely.”
“I’m surprised when he grabs his mom in a huge bear hug, rocking her back and forth before kissing her on the cheek, his face lighting up with love for her.”
“You turn the tables on him. You’ve shown him what life’s like when you’re around…now that he’s into you, you need to show him what it’s like when you’re not. Let him know that he’s not your every breath or thought—even if it fucking kills”
“Reading for writers is like training for athletes.”
“His eyes slink over me. "I forgot to tell you- you look lovely."
Lovely. I want to laugh at his words. "You shouldn't have bothered with the compliment," I say, "I'm many things, and the least impressive of them is lovely."
.... Lovely. What a load of bullshit.”
“you may be able to disguise your hideous personalities.”
“No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.”
“Umreti, to, naravno, znači izgubiti vreme i otići iz njega, ali to ujedno znači steći večnost i trajnu sadašnjost, a to znači pravi život. Jer suština života je sadašnjost i njegova tajna predočava se samo na mitski način, u vremenskim formama prošlosti i budućnosti.
Ni lepota nikad nije savršena, te baš zbog toga i podstiče sujetu.
Kome je mnogo dato, tome može mnogo i da uzme. Ako me Gospod učini bogatim, on može i da me pretvori u zemni prah i da me učini siromahom poput nekog pogorelca; jer njegova ćud je silna i mi nismo u stanju da spoznamo puteve njegove pravednosti.
Gledao sam gore, to zacelo stoji! Posmatrao sam kako svetlost zrači, kako veličanstveno promiče, i moje su se ognjenim sunčevim strelama pozleđene oči krepile na blagom sjaju noćne zvezde.
Ja može svako da kaže, ali ko to kaže, to je bitno.
SETI SE MENE KAD BUDEŠ DOSPEO U SVOJE CARSTVO.
Čovek mora da vodi računa čime će se ukrasiti, mora da pripazi da se ne odluči za ono što mu ne pristaje.
Videti ne znači imati. Ali videti znači hteti imati.
Ili je život opsena, ili je lepota opsena. Nećeš oboje naći sjedinjeno u stvarnosti.”
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.
