“You know, for someone who holds a position of legal authority as high as yours, you sure do like to throw away the rule book sometimes."
"Knowing the rules is one thing. Following them blindly all the time is something else again.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Hunting Fear
“Metcalf came into the room and sat down with a sigh. "Did everybody go nuts all of a sudden? It's Thursday, for Christ's sake, and you'd think it was Saturday night. Fender benders, B amp;Es, domestic disputes-and some asshole just tried to rob one of our three banks."
"Unsuccessfully, I gather," Lucas said.
"Yeah, but not much credit to my people. Guy had a flare gun. A flare gun. I was ready to shoot him just on general principle. And because he fucked up my morning.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Hunting Fear
“Instead, she got one of the books off her dresser and sat in the eading chair, stretching out her legs and gently resting her feet on he bed. She sat there gazing at Luke's sleeping face for a long ime, then stirred and opened her book.
Softly, she murmured, "You aren't in my future, Luke. Unless I put you there.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Hunting Fear
“Samantha said, "I should be at the carnival. I have things to do."
"Sam, do we have to keep arguing about this?" He handed her a cup but didn't let go until she met his gaze. "I want you here. I need you here."
She hesitated, then nodded. "Okay, fine."
It might not have been gracious acceptance, but at least it was acceptance, and Lucas was visibly relieved.
Jaylene knew why. Samantha could be rather slippery when she didn't want to be somewhere.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Hunting Fear
“Samantha thought he looked very tired and more than a little grim, and even the simmering anger she felt toward him couldn't stop her from appreciating the courtesy.
He was most always courteous, Luke.
Damn him.”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Hunting Fear
“It wasn't like Samantha, Leo thought, to meddle. Inside her booth, Madam Zarina offered advice and answers to troubled questions, but outside it Samantha minded her own business and scrupulously avoided the business of others. It had been a hard lesson learned, but she had learned it well. So what was she up to now?”
― Kay Hooper, quote from Hunting Fear
“Lucas remained where he was for several moments, then said to his partner, "I've never met anybody so goddamned stubborn in my life."
"Look in the mirror.”

“But I hate being a grandfather. It's indecent. In my mind's eye, I'm still twenty-five. Thirty-three max. Certainly not sixty-seven, reeking of decay and dashed hopes. My breath sour. My limbs in dire need of a lube job. And now that I've been blessed with a plastic hip-socket replacement, I'm no longer even biodegradable. Environmentalists will protest my burial.”
― Mordecai Richler, quote from Barney's Version
“As usual, when she has her Kindle in her hand, the world could crumble around her and she wouldn't have a clue.”
― Aurora Rose Reynolds, quote from Until Trevor
“There were questions one asked, and questions one did not. That was strong custom. And friendship.”
― Robert Jordan, quote from New Spring
“Fans outside were screaming. Through the white noise of hollers and hoots emerged a rhythmic shout. Becky strained to understand.
“Felix, they are chanting your name.”
Felix nodded. “You see, this is exactly why I need you here.”
“To tell you what they’re chanting?”
“To laugh at it, darling. Or I might take it seriously.”
― Shannon Hale, quote from The Actor and the Housewife

The Mysterious Bened...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.
