“You might not think you’re worth fighting for, or breathing for, but let me tell you, sugar – everyone deserves to be fought for, even those who think they aren’t worth it.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“You’re the kind of girl that makes a man want to stop what he’s doing, just so he can get a moment to look at that angelic face – a face that will keep him awake for the rest of his fuckin’ life. That’s the kind of girl you are, sugar.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“I’ve seen a lot of people in my life, and I’ve been with a lot of girls. None of them are as real as you. I’ll fuck you, sugar. I’ll claim you because you’re the meaning of need. You’re what I’ve been lookin’ for.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“Who said happily ever after couldn’t involve bikers?”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“You’re the fuckin’ meaning of breathing for me. You’re the reason I get out of bed each day and fuck, if that’s love, I am gonna hang onto it and never let it go.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“So fuckin ’ stubborn,” he says, and wraps an arm around my lower back. He presses me even closer.
“Do you mind? Let me go.”
“I don’t mind at all, and no.”
“Cade…”
“Sugar…”
“You’re so fucking frustrating,” I protest, squirming.
“And you’re so fuckin’ gorgeous, tryin’ to fight me all the time.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“I could so easily love you sugar, you’re testin’ every part of me. I’m fallin’ fuckin’ hard.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“Now, I’m gonna kiss you ‘coz I’ve been without those sweet lips while you play stupid little bullshit games with me. I won’t be without for another minute. Open your lips, baby, and kiss me.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“You can’t just order me over to your house Cade, it doesn’t work like that.”
“Yeah, babe, it fuckin’ does.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“Your life was bad; I see it in your eyes. When you grin, your face is empty, and I have no doubt when you smile, your eyes won’t shine like they should. One day though, baby, I will make them shine.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“Somethin’ about you, sugar, it’s makin’ everything I believe in feel like it never existed.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“Humans are like that sometimes, they seek something to put back together when they’re broken and can’t fix themselves. I guess it’s just a comfort; it makes us feel better, like we haven’t completely lost ourselves – we like to believe there’s still a part in there, that can be saved.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“You might not think you’re worth fighting for, or breathing for, but let me tell you, sugar – everyone deserves to be fought for, even those who think they aren’t worth it.
Then he lets me go, turns and walks off, leaving me utterly speechless.
Well hell, the biker is deep.
Damn.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“I realize how close my face is to his back. I can smell him, and fuck, he smells like man dipped in chocolate, covered with fuckable sprinkles.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“Sugar, what the fuck did I say about games? I don’t fuckin’ play them. You ain’t gonna make a scene about somethin’ you don’t know. Get out to my bike, shut your mouth and we’ll talk.”
“I hate you when you’re bossy,” I say, before spinning on my heel.
“You fuckin’ love me, you moody little shit.”
― Bella Jewel, quote from Hell's Knights
“fiction is about prizing the logic of metaphors—which is the logic of narratives in general—over reality, which is irreducibly random and senseless.”
― Ken Liu, quote from The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories
“Apathy is a tide pool that drowns its victims.”
― K.M. Weiland, quote from Dreamlander
“Language enables the left hemisphere to represent the world ‘off-line’, a conceptual version, distinct from the world of experience, and shielded from the immediate environment, with its insistent impressions, feelings and demands, abstracted from the body, no longer dealing with what is concrete, specific, individual, unrepeatable, and constantly changing, but with a disembodied representation of the world, abstracted, central, not particularised in time and place, generally applicable, clear and fixed. Isolating things artificially from their context brings the advantage of enabling us to focus intently on a particular aspect of reality and how it can be modelled, so that it can be grasped and controlled. But its losses are in the picture as a whole. Whatever lies in the realm of the implicit, or depends on flexibility, whatever can't be brought into focus and fixed, ceases to exist as far as the speaking hemisphere is concerned.”
― quote from The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World
“Human hearts are like noble little ants, able to carry so much more weight than you'd expect.”
― Emery Lord, quote from The Names They Gave Us
“I was a wonderful parent before I had children. I was an expert on why everyone else was having problems with theirs. Then I had three of my own.”
― Adele Faber, quote from How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk
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.
