“If a girl has baby wipes in her house, but no baby—I’d say she will most likely be down to let you put it in her ass. “I”
― Asa Akira, quote from Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story
“I wondered if there would ever come a time in my life where I wouldn't measure distance by the amount of time it would take for a person to physically come on to me.”
― Asa Akira, quote from Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story
“This one girl here, Devon, she’s from Detroit. She’s brand-new too. One day I was about to leave to the grocery store, which is like a ten-minute walk away. She asked me to pick up a sandwich for her (which was kind of annoying), so I was like, “Why don’t you come with me?”
She was like, “I can’t, ’cause I can’t walk very far.”
I was like, “It’s not even ten minutes. Come on, don’t be lazy—if anything it’ll be a mini workout.”
She was like, “Ever since I got shot, it hurts when I walk uphill.”
(The walk on the way back is pretty much all on an incline.)
I asked her why she got shot. I thought . . . Detroit? Ghetto, right? Probably domestic abuse, or a drug-related thing.
She goes, “I got in a fight over a parking space, and the guy shot me in both of my knees.”

“But life is too short to masturbate silently,”
― Asa Akira, quote from Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story
“It just goes to show you—for every woman you jerk off to, there’s a tired husband/boyfriend/significant other jerking off to some other bitch. October”
― Asa Akira, quote from Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story
“I think I’ll go to yoga to clear this negative energy before today’s orgy scene. I wanna go in with a positive attitude. November”
― Asa Akira, quote from Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story
“At twenty years old, I was the youngest one at the dungeon, but not by much. No one was over thirty. The head bitch in charge was Mistress Rox. She had been there for eight years, and was known in the city as one of the meanest, baddest, yet most sensual masters. I’ve seen her shit on a guy. Like, right on his face. There’s no way he didn’t get pinkeye from that. You can’t erase things like that from your memory, no matter how much you want to. It’s like herpes in your brain. It’s forever.”

“...and when she thinks of that generation of silent men, the boys who lived through the Depression and grew up to become soldiers or not-soldiers in the war, she doesn’t blame them for refusing to talk, for not wanting to go back into the past, but how curious it is, she thinks, how sublimely incoherent that her generation, which doesn’t have much of anything to talk about yet, has produced men who never stop talking, men like Bing, for example, or men like Jake, who talks about himself at the slightest prompting, who has an opinion on every subject, who spews forth words from morning to night, but just because he talks, that doesn’t mean she wants to listen to him, whereas with the silent men, the old men, the ones who are nearly gone now, she would give anything to hear what they have to say.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Sunset Park
“no hay nada tan onírico y poético, nada tan radical, subversivo y psicodélico como las matemáticas. Es tan impresionante como la cosmología o la física (los matemáticos concibieron los agujeros negros mucho antes de que los astrónomos encontrasen uno), y permite más libertad de expresión que la poesía, el arte o la música (que dependen mucho en las propiedades físicas del universo). Las matemáticas son el arte más puro, así como el más incomprendido.”
― Paul Lockhart, quote from A Mathematician's Lament: How School Cheats Us Out of Our Most Fascinating and Imaginative Art Form
“You know why horror-movie characters always get killed? Because they've never seen horror movies. They don't know how it works. Right? But we do. So no one go into the basement alone. No one go screaming off into the woods alone. No one has any sex.”
― Carrie Vaughn, quote from Kitty's House of Horrors
“Never before had I raced in an angry mood and I couldn't believe how powerful it was. Now I understood why Lance used anger so effectively and why he hated the people he had to beat at the tour.”
― David Millar, quote from Racing Through the Dark
“Friday dusk becomes Friday evening. The park is feverish with life. A young Asian man screams into his mobile phone, not stopping to listen: a young man with his heart in his penis.”

Tao Te ChingBookQuoters 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.
