“I appreciate the offer. I really do. But you can't put a price on independence, Blake.”
“I can't live without this Erica. Without you.”
“Then don't give up on us. Love me, damn it. Please baby. Let me love you.”
“Mine. You're mine. Just like this. Your body, your heart. Every part of you.”
“I think you have a fetish for office sex, sweetie, he whispered. You're my fetish, Blake”
“You're the only one Erica. There's never been anyone else.”
“Our story is the happiest one I know.”
“No one had made me feel this way, and no one ever would.”
“Do you feel me? It's me, baby. It'll always be me.”
“What kind of picnic did you have in mind”
“I love you, Blake. You're the only one. My only love.”
“What we were together had become so much more powerful, a force that took my breath away and made everything secondary.”
“I knew how to live with scars.”
“All I want you thinking about is being here with me, right now.”
“have you been up to?” She took a sip of her latte.”
“I'm drinking whiskey. Doesn't get much more real than this.”
“You won't give me access to the code , Erica. What the hell do you want me to do. It's not out of distrust, Blake. We need to be in control of the code for the long-term and you know that. Yet we all remain in the dark as to why we've been inexplicably and relentlessly attacked by this group.”
“Have you tried to reach out to them? No. I don't negotiate with terrorists.”
“There exists no greater or more painful anxiety for a man who has freed himself from all religious bias, than how he shall soonest find a new object or idea to worship. But man seeks to bow before that only which is recognized by the greater majority, if not by all his fellow-men, as having a right to be worshipped; whose rights are so unquestionable that men agree unanimously to bow down to it. For the chief concern of these miserable creatures is not to find and worship the idol of their own choice, but to discover that which all others will believe in, and consent to bow down to in a mass.”
“We don’t usually think of achievements in terms of what would have happened otherwise, but we should. What matters is not who does good but whether good is done; and the measure of how much good you achieve is the difference between what happens as a result of your actions and what would have happened anyway.”
“There’s some stuff you just leave alone. You don’t fix every problem that comes across your radar. You don’t try to straighten out every dispute that comes before you. Don’t chase down every rumor. If people are gossiping about you, let them talk, because the people who are talking negatively about you don’t matter.”
“I want to be a Half Code. I want to be Black and White, the best of both.”
“För att ta livet av en människa behöver man ju inte sikta med Buck Jones revolver och göra pangpang med den. Det var inte så jag menade. Utan man kan också döda en människa i sitt hjärta. Man gör så att man slutar att tycka om den människan. Och en vacker dag är den människan död.”
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.
