“Well, that cinched it. He was an asshole. I was definitely going to end up sleeping with him.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf

― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“He's like that with everybody. Don't take it personally. Some people were just born with a pinecone shoved up their butts.
In Cooper's case, it's lodged sideways.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“There's an inverse relationship between my temper and my ability to control my accent. If you hear me say 'Fiddledeedee', run for the hills, because I'm getting ready to take out bystanders.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“What do you want from me, Maggie? Advice? Absolution? Go forth and be a bitch no more.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“You will treat my underwear with the reverence it deserves. Next time, you will stop and appreciate--hell, you'll marvel at the miracle of my ass clad in silk.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“Maybe it was just an over abundance of hormones, a response to a sexual starvation diet. I'd been without for so long that my body was craving the worst possible thing for me. Cooper was carnal triple chocolate cheesecake, deep-fried on a stick.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“Well, pardon me for not knowing about the thermal-only panty rule,” I said, smirking as he dipped his head to nuzzle one of the silky bra cups. “I’ll rush right out and buy some long johns.”
Pausing to look up with perfect sincerity, he promised, “If you do, I will weep. Like a little girl. In public.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf

― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“When a naked man shows up on your doorstep with a bear trap clamped around his ankle, it's best just to do what he asks”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“Instead of celebrating with a cake (too full of poisonous refined sugars) and presents (too materialistic), my mother would come into my room at exactly 3:57 A.M. to tell me the story of my miraculous emergence into this world, as if it was some fairy tale. Although I supposed few fairy tales involved the words 'vaginal flowering'.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“Establishing dominance early in the relationship is key. Vampire children are like human children in that they can sense weakness. They will wait for you to be busy or too distracted to realize that you’ve given them permission to feed on the pizza guy.
—Siring for the Stupid: A Beginner’s Guide to Raising Newborn Vampires”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“Why couldn’t I have spent the last few months like this, wrapped in his arms, drinking in the warm, spicy scent of him? Oh, wait. Cooper was a complete dick to me, that’s why.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“I loved lingerie. I loved the feel of satin and silk on my skin. I loved the juxtaposition of wearing a pair of two-hundred-dollar lace panties under blue jeans, like the pair I was wearing at the moment. Lingerie was a personal statement that you didn't have to declare to the world. You could be as demure or as naughty as you wanted to be, and no one ever had to know unless you showed them... or were injured in a serious car accident.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“Hi Maggie, it's nice to see you again,' he said, smiling so sweetly I thought I might need insulin.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“I tend to bake when I'm upset. Or bored...or premenstrual...or if it's Tuesday. I'll use any excuse.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“A boot up the ass could be considered a 'nudge' right?”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“I sighed. 'Ah spite, the stuff of fairy tales.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“THE BLUE GLACIER SALOON was part general store, part restaurant, part bar. It was my fantasy come true, a Stuckey’s that served shots.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“He delivered the mail, ran our modest recycling program, and maintained our handful of public buildings. He also occasionally fell asleep while driving a snowplough, but he was such a cheerful guy it was hard to stay pissed at him. Besides every village needs an idiot.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“My mother had spent one hundred dollars on shipping to send me cookies, antimeat propaganda, and laxatives.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“Cooper! Help!'
The coward turned and walked into the kitchen as if he hadn't seen me getting frogmarched by the estrogen squad.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“The rest of the morning would consist of checking on a pothole in the parking lot of the village clinic and writing up a schedule for the community centre that might finally settle the ongoing feud between the local quilting group and the bridge club.
It was good to be queen.”
― Molly Harper, quote from How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf
“There is much to love, and that love is what we are left with. When the bombs stop dropping, and the camps fall back to the earth and decay, and we are done killing each other, that is what we must hold. We can never let the world take our memories of love away, and if there are no memories, we must invent love all over again.”
― Louise Murphy, quote from The True Story of Hansel and Gretel
“We are given our place in time as we are given our eyes: weak, strong, clear, squinting, the thing is not ours to choose. Well, this has been a squinting, walleyed time to be born in.”
― Gore Vidal, quote from Julian
“It's a widely accepted principle," he says, "that you can claim a piece of land which has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years, if only you will repeat this mantra endlessly: 'We discovered it, we discovered it, we discovered it. . . .”
― Kurt Vonnegut, quote from Deadeye Dick
“In the age of global market capitalism, hopes and grievances were narrowly conceived, which blunted a sense of common predicament. Poor people didn’t unite; they competed ferociously amongst themselves for gains as slender as they were provisional. And this undercity strife created only the faintest ripple in the fabric of the society at large. The gates of the rich, occasionally rattled, remained un-breached. The politicians held forth on the middle class. The poor took down one another, and the world’s great, unequal cities soldiered on in relative peace.”
― Katherine Boo, quote from Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity
“I'm glad you escaped, Kyra," Fred said, looking serious again. "And that I found you."
"Me too," Kyra said, glancing up at him. "It wouldn't have been much of a life trying to live in the dumbwaiter."
Fred leaned down and kissed Kyra full on the lips.
Kyra pulled away. "How do you know I'm interested in you? Just because you've decided I'm worth hanging around for doesn't mean I feel the same way."
Fred cocked his head at her. "Really?"
"Oh, okay," Kyra said.
Then she kissed him back.”
― Bridget Zinn, quote from Poison
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.
