― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets


“And now his cock wanted back in the game. Fuck.

Yes, please.


Jesus, when your brain started talking to your cock, you were on some fucking really thin ice.”
― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets


“God, this kiss. It was the kind she'd remember forever, that would invade her dreams and haunt her in quiet moments. The kind her older self could look back on and know, once, she'd really lived. The kind that, no matter what, she could never, ever regret.”
― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets


“I want to make you hold onto that bag while I bury myself in you so hard and so deep you don't know your own name. -Nick Rixey”

― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets



“Regret at telling her about the dragon, about the words, settled into his gut. It left him feeling too exposed, like his nerves sat atop his skin.”

Happiness wasn't something you found, happiness was something you made - by living in the moment, by cherishing the people in your life right now, by finding the courage to change those things you didn't like”
― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets

― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets


“Bleed with me and you will forever be my brother.”
― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets

― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets

Popular quotes

“Нежността присъстваше в начина, по който устата и кожата ѝ някак приканваха моите устни и ръце, присъстваше и в познатата дългогодишна близост, в навика просто да лежим и да дишаме един до друг, докато навън се мръква. Тази нежност властваше самоволно и си пробиваше път, независимо какво си мислех в момента за нея, за нас. Дланите ми познаваха всяка хлътнатина и издатина по тялото ѝ, като че през годините взаимно се бяха моделирали – нейното тяло и моите ръце, нейните ръце и моето тяло.”
― Jens Christian Grøndahl, quote from Silence in October


“take a writer away from his typewriter and all you have left is the sickness which started him typing in the beginning.”
― Charles Bukowski, quote from The Pleasures of the Damned


“Sarah Jane turned to face me square on, her eyes full of compassion and wisdom and strength I could never match. "You are the gaurdian, Jess. The truth is inside you if you look for it. Trust that you're here because you're destined to be.”
She didn't know how crazy her request was. Someone like Sarah Jane could never understand. she was asking me to tear down my defenses, walls that kept me protected in my lobely but safe bubble. A bubble that let me belive I was good enough, that people just hadn't gotten the chance to really know me.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath praying for some kind of sign. No lighntning bolt appeared in the sky, but a momentary shower of peace rained over me. It went and came so quickly I wondered if I had imagined it, but in the end, I knew. if tere was a time to trust , this was it.
"Trust the universe and go with God," Nan would always say. It scared the living hck out of me. What happns when they realize I'm just me?”
― Kay Cassidy, quote from The Cinderella Society


“Because of who we were, I already knew what we would do.”
― Donald Ray Pollock, quote from Knockemstiff


“What stands in the way of effortless effort is caring, or a conscious attempt to do well.”
― quote from Zen in the Martial Arts

About BookQuoters

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.
