“There is a stark difference between fear and uncertainty, Sarai. You fear nothing but are uncertain of everything.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“You made me feel real emotions. You unlocked me.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“I don’t want to sleep alone,” she says gently.

And I don’t force her to. Sarai falls fast asleep curled up next to me in my bed. Right where I want her.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“Victor Faust did much more than help me escape a life of abuse and servitude. He changed me.
He changed the landscape of my dreams, the dreams I had every day about living ordinarily and free
and on my own. He changed the colors on the palette from primary to rainbow—as dark as the colors
of that rainbow may be.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“She looks defeated. Beautiful and soft and damaged standing there before me partially clothed in the light of the moon beaming through the tall window. Beautiful, but defeated. That look in her eyes, it somehow latches onto my soul and all I want is for her to turn and walk away. Because I know that if she doesn't, if she presses me further with those soft lips and sad, vulnerable eyes that I'll succumb to the moment and either fuck her or kill her.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai



“This goes against everything that I am, Sarai," he says and then kisses me. "No, it doesn't," I whisper and kiss him back. "It's you becoming more of who you really are.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“I am not your hero. I am not the other half of your soul who could never let anything bad ever happen to you. -trust your instincs first always, and me, if you choose, last.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“Beautiful but defeated and damaged. Damaged for the rest of her life and no amount of emotional mutilation will ever fully give her back her innocence. The girl is a ticking time bomb, a danger to herself and very possibly to others. I wasn’t sure before, but now I know that she is more unstable than I ever could have imagined. And because she is so skilled at hiding it, not only from me but also from herself, she is more dangerous than I am.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“Despite my growing fear, I still want to be right where I am, trapped in the merciless arms of a killer.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“I will do everything in my power to keep you safe, but it’s not a guarantee because no matter how much you trust me, you should never, under any circumstances trust anyone fully. In the end, you can only trust yourself. I am not your hero. I am not the other half of your soul who could never let anything bad ever happen to you. Trust your instincts first always, and me, if you choose, last”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai



“I’m definitely not some kind of reformed badass created by my extraordinary experiences, either. Just ask the spider that crawled on me the other night while I was reading a book in bed. Mrs. Gregory about had a heart attack I screamed so loud.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“And when I get mad, I always cry. It’s how I’ve been for as long as I can remember. And I hate it.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“I am discipline. Sarai is rage.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“I want her to look upon me, just for a moment. But she never does and I walk away.   Sarai I feel like I should be like Cordelia, sitting next to me wide awake yet unaware of it herself.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“Isso vai contra tudo o que eu sou, Sarai." Ele diz e, em seguida, beija-me. "Não, não vai." Eu sussurro e beijo de volta. "É você tornando-se mais quem você realmente é.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai



“I turn toward the window beside me because unlike Victor, I have absolutely no control over the smile on my face, and I can’t risk letting him see it. ~~~~”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai


“You kept your cool. You waited for your opportunity. You pretended to the point of acceptance and trust. You’re risking your life right now to go back for that girl. You are innocent, And it’s why you’re still alive.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Killing Sarai

― Meredith Wild, quote from Hardline


“A day without writing was a little death.”
― Ray Bradbury, quote from Death Is a Lonely Business


“[T]he price you've paid is not the price of becoming human. It's not even the price of having the things you just mentioned. It's the price of enacting a story that casts mankind as the enemy of the world.”
― Daniel Quinn, quote from Ismael


“The past few months changed me, changed all of us really, and I came out with no heart. I take that back. I’m sure I still had a heart, some figment of compassion left in the wake of the destruction. However, the tiny piece that was left would probably shrivel up and dry as soon as I attempt to open up again. Instead, I had been left numb and unfeeling, paralyzed under the grief of yet another failed relationship.”
― Ysa Arcangel, quote from Forever Night Stand

About BookQuoters

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.
