“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


“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

― 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.”
― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets

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


“Arms crossed over his chest,leaning against the wall that led to the back of the business,Nick Rixey appeared for all the world to be nonchalant and unaffected.”
― 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



“Nick came right up into Becca’s space and, without a word, buried his hands in her hair and his tongue in her mouth. It was the kind of kiss that could change a woman’s life.”
― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets


“His mouth stole her breath. His touch stole her heart. And his cock stole her sanity.”
― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets

― Laura Kaye, quote from Hard as It Gets

“I’ve never felt anything so strong and it’s love—actual love. Heart wrenching, stomach churning, toe curling love.
I’ve been completely consumed by him and I didn’t even know it.”
― Skyla Madi, quote from Consumed


“With a gentle pressure, our lips met. His hands slipped more firmly about me, and I held myself back, not afraid, but wanting to feel everything slowly as I leaned in, tasting the wine on him, feeling the warmth of his body pressing into mine, breathing in our scents that were mingling and changing with the warmth. My hands rose to find his hair, and I relaxed into him as the silky strands brushed through my fingers. I wanted more, and I leaned into him as our lips moved against each other.”
― Kim Harrison, quote from Ever After


“It seemed like a mistake. And mistakes ought to be rectified, only this one couldn't be. Between the way things used to be and the way they were now was a void that couldn't be crossed. I had to find an explanation other than the real one, which was that we were no more immune to misfortune than anybody else, and the idea that kept recurring to me...was that I had inadvertently walked through a door that I shouldn't have gone through and couldn't get back to the place I hadn't meant to leave. Actually, it was other way round: I hadn't gone anywhere and nothing was changed, so far as the roof over our heads was concerned, it was just that she was in the cemetery.”
― William Maxwell, quote from So Long, See You Tomorrow


“found Rolly in his office, sitting at his computer, staring at something on the monitor. He pointed at the screen. “They want more testing. Pretty soon, we won’t have any time to teach them anything. We’ll just test them from the moment they get here to the moment they go home.”
― Linwood Barclay, quote from No Time for Goodbye


“I pretended not to understand. One of life's hardest jobs, to make a quick understanding slow. I think I succeeded, thought Herzog.”
― Saul Bellow, quote from Herzog

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.
