“Who are you?"
"Your fantasy," I tease with a kiss, digging my nails into his shoulders.
"No shit." He bites my lower lip, then sucks it into his mouth. "A fucking nightmare, too.”
― Eden Summers, quote from Hunter
“I see my future in those eyes. In this woman. It's fucking crazy and unwanted, but it's there. It's been there from the first night she fucked me over and threw my gun out a third-story window, to right now, when I'd give anything to see her smile.”
― Eden Summers, quote from Hunter
“I want her. Not just her body or her secrets. I want her trust. I want more. I want everything. Every touch. Every breath. I want to know she's mine, and I won't stop until I'm successful.”
― Eden Summers, quote from Hunter
“She's playing me. I know that. But I still listen to her lies like a man starved of sound.”
― Eden Summers, quote from Hunter
“I have every intention of spending the night in her bed. I'll beg, borrow, and steal to get between those sheets. Or more accurately, I'll bluff, intimidate, and manipulate.
Old habits die hard.”
― Eden Summers, quote from Hunter
“Only a man who has his health, a full stomach and wears clean clothes would ever entertain the notion of tracking down the greatest lost city on Earth.”
― Tahir Shah, quote from House of the Tiger King: The Quest for a Lost City
“I refused to believe that I'd gone from sane to full-blown delusional in one night. After some consideration, I determined I didn't have any other crazy thoughts. I didn't think I was Napoleon, or that my bagel was an alien, and I didn't have voices in my head warning me about terrorist plots. Near as I could tell, I was still on the right side of sane.”
― Eileen Cook, quote from Unraveling Isobel
“Things never go wrong at the moment you expect them to. When you're completely relaxed, oblivious to any potential dangers, that's when bad things happen.”
― C.K. Kelly Martin, quote from I Know It's Over
“Some believe that we will eventually sink back to the more simple-minded creatures which we evolved out of and the planet will bring another mind forward.” “Isn’t that the opposite of evolution?” “Only from a single-species perspective. A planet’s life is paramount. It is such a fragile rare event, it should be treasured and nurtured for the potential it brings forth. If that means abdicating our physical dominance for our successors, then that is what we will accept. Such a time is a long way in our future. In terms of evolution, we have only just begun such a journey.”
― Peter F. Hamilton, quote from The Evolutionary Void
“He’s so powerful. Who knows maybe he’s advanced past eating”
― Priya Ardis, quote from My Boyfriend Merlin
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.
