I swear, I do.”
“Sometimes there is a darkness you can hear, a swallowing of your senses that blots out everything going on in the world around you, leaving only the chaos colliding and exploding in you own head. -- Olivia”
“But can’t we do that with our clothes on?”
“We could,” he said, giving me that cocky grin of his. “But where’s the fun in that?”
“Money talks. And throwing that money around shuts everyone else up.”
“Do you only think you love me? Are you pretty sure you love me? Or are you absolutely positive?” I asked. “Because it’s kind of an important distinction.”
“I think I’m pretty positive I love you.” He grinned down at me.”
“I think you've had a very hard life," Passion said calmly, "and you see everyone and everthing through a lens of mistrust." - Passion to Marcus”
“You know when someone says, 'no offense,' I pointed out to him, 'the thing they say directly after that is always offensive”
“I Sat back in the chair, surveying the view in front of me like some savvy superhero, safe in her secret lair.
& that's when I saw it; a shadow slipping across the lower corner of camera seventeen.”
“After all, eyes are the windows to the soul. But Renzo had a bit too much soul in his eye.”
“Las grandes esperanzas que se tienen en la vida a veces se transforman en pequeñas piedras con las que se puede tropezar.”
“Was it wrong that all I wanted to do was kiss her?
I smiled, and Maggie blushed.
Oh God. So cute.
I knew then, I’d give this girl anything she asked me for. I’d probably beg her to take it.”
“God. He could even dive perfectly.
In jeans.
Or maybe it was perfect because it was hot and he was doing it in jeans.
Or maybe it was just hot because he was joining me.”
“The story in that book of yours comes down to a sudden slipup caused by two great vices: women and laziness.”
“Eve sucked air through her nose. "The next person, the very next person, who says that is going to know my wrath."
"I'm on a first-name basis with your wrath, sir. I guess this isn't the best time to tell you that McNab and I are thinking of cohabitating."
"Oh my God. My eye." Desperate, Eve pressed her fist to the twitch. "Not while I'm driving.”
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.
