“I wont take no for an answer. I will use this to bind you to my bed until you change your mind if you dont answer the way I want you to. Will you marry me?"
She grinned. "I dont know." Her attention fixed on the tie for a few seconds before she met his gaze again. "I might be tempted to say no just to get you to tie me to your bed.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“He hesitated. “We’ve been told we’re larger than typical males.”
Larger. She swallowed. “I can deal with that. Larger as in ‘just a bit bigger’ or as in ‘that is never, ever going to fit inside me’?”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“I admit to the jealousy. If you ever allow someone else to touch you, I will kill him, Jessie. I will tear him apart. Do you understand me?”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“Let me tell you how it’s going to be, Justice. You don’t tell me who I can and can’t have inside my house. I work for the NSO but my personal life is my own. You lost the right to give me your opinion,” she stressed that last word, “about what I do or don’t do the second you decided you didn’t want to see me anymore. You don’t want me so don’t you dare tell me I can’t spend time with other men.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“I’m going to claim her so there’s nothing to protect her from. I’ll make her mine, fill her with my seed and it will plant there. She’ll make an excellent mate and mother to my young.”
-Brawn”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“I’m going to claim her by the end of the night.” He flashed his fangs. “I’ll take her home, mount her, fuck her until she screams my name and keep doing it until she swells with what’s mine.”
-Brawn”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“keep it on the down-low.” “The what?” “It’s a term I’ve learned from a human. It means keep it secret. It’s no one’s business and therefore they can’t start any trouble if they disagree with the relationship. The male said he did that with an undesirable female.” His face grew solemn. “He laughed when I commented that her looks should be irrelevant if she made him happy. I wasn’t sure how to take that but I think he cares too much for appearances. The term is the same though. It means being with someone and no one knows.” Justice stood. “I don’t like that term. Anyone who would dismiss a person because of how they look isn’t someone intelligent enough to learn from.” “You going home?” Tiger glanced”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Justice
“في صمت الليالي المعتمة ملأنا كتابًا بكل هذه الرؤى التي نبعت من خيالاتنا عن الهزيمة و الفشل الذي حلمنا به و نحن حزانى نفتقد للبهجة، أولئك المعوزون برؤوسهم المحنية، و طرقهم الموحلة، و بيوتهم غير مكتملة البناء، و شوراعهم الغريبة المعتمة، الناس الذين يعتقدون أن كل شيء سيعود كما كان و هم يتلون صلواتهم التي لا يفقهون معناها،الأمهات و الآباء الثكلى، البؤساء الذين لم تسمح لهم أعمارهم القصيرة أن يخبرونا عما أنجزوه و حقّقوه في بلاد أخرى، المصانع و الآلات التي لا تعمل، الأرواح ذات العيون المخضلة بالدمع ترثي الأيام الخوالي، الكلاب الضالة التي ليست في هزالها أكثر من جلد على عظم، الفلاحون الذين لا يمتلكون أراض، المتشردون المتسكعون في المدينة، المسلمون الجهلة و الأميون الذين يرتدون سراويلهم و حروبهم كلها تنتهي بالهزيمة.”
― Orhan Pamuk, quote from The White Castle
“But one may acquire what MacIntyre calls a “second first language,” a language which is learned in the same way that a child learns to use the native tongue. A missionary or an anthropologist who really hopes to understand and enter into the adopted culture will not do so by trying to learn the language in the way a tourist uses a phrasebook and a dictionary.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, quote from The Gospel in a Pluralist Society
“It was the breeze that made her look up, a change in the texture of the unseen, a change in the texture of her heart. She was ready. Charlotte moved with firm footing around a stand of beech trees and onto a moonbeam path. A pearly, full moon glowed over Red Mountain, burning back the curtains of night.”
― Rachel Hauck, quote from The Wedding Dress
“He was too gorgeous for words and worst yet he knew it.”
― Shannon Dermott, quote from Beg for Mercy
“Better a spirit that does not quite fit in this world than one that is broken.”
― Donna Gillespie, quote from The Light Bearer
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.
