“Hello, everyone.” I didn’t think lying was an option, appearing as I did, so I told the truth. “I’ve come to kill you all. It would be much easier if you would kindly stand still.”
― Scarlett Dawn, quote from King Tomb
“We should celebrate. We each married a sadistic killer.” His head tilted toward Isa as we drank our coffee. “I almost feel sorry for the poor bastard she ends up with.”
― Scarlett Dawn, quote from King Tomb
“I went utterly still as I watched us dancing. That...oh, holy shit. I knew my cheeks were flaming as I watched us move against each other. Our hands just kind of went wherever they wanted. Body parts rubbing sinuously together. I placed a hand over my mouth gently as I watched us...
"Jesus," Elder Merrick muttered, sounding a bit breathless. "I think I bring sex to the dance floor, but fuck..." A pause. "Queen Ruckler, I know I've offered before...and it still stands."
Elder Jacobs grunted. "Maybe I could get a copy of this-”
― Scarlett Dawn, quote from King Tomb
“It would undoubtedly be prudent for neither of us to attempt a sexual coup on one another again from the evidence of our reactions. Most definitely any outcome of an intended purpose would bound to be foiled from lack of focus.”
― Scarlett Dawn, quote from King Tomb
“I think you should kiss me now."
He hummed quietly, more of a deep rumble, and his hips lifted the barest bit into my touch as my hands journeyed higher, almost to his crotch. "I don't take orders well, Queen Ruckler." His voice was becoming deeper, sounding just as breathless as mine had.”
― Scarlett Dawn, quote from King Tomb
“I'm not sorry. That was long overdue.'
Antonio instantly amended, 'Precious, I didn't mean that I'm sorry it happened.'
Precious...fucking hell.
Canal's smile was private as he gazed at Antonio. 'I know, honey.'
Honey...Jesus Christ.”

“There comes a time in every man’s life when he takes a good, long look at himself and admits he’s been an asshole. A self-centered prick.”
― Emma Chase, quote from Overruled
“Pająk wysnuwa wszystko ze swojego wnętrza. (...) Nie wszyscy pisarze tak robią. Niektórzy są jak mrówki, pozbierają trochę tu, trochę tam, a potem to, czego tak pracowicie naściągali, uważają za swoje dzieło. Krytycy bez obiekcji wierzą, że niemal wszyscy pisarze zaliczają się do tej właśnie kategorii. Chętnie wskazują, że dana książka "zawiera ślady", "czerpie z", "ma dług wdzięczności wobec" pewnych tytułów lub prądów bądź współczesnych, bądź z historii literatury, i to nawet wtedy, gdy rzeczony autor nigdy nie zbliżył się do wspomnianych pozycji. Krytycy jednak przyjmują niemal za pewnik, że wszyscy pisarze są równie uczeni i w równym stopniu pozbawieni fantazji jak oni sami. Wygląda na to, że za aksjomat przyjęto niemożność powstawania jakichkolwiek oryginalnych impulsów, przynajmniej nie jest to możliwe w żadnym małym kraju, a już z pewnością nie w w naszym. Istnieje jednak również trzecia kategoria pisarzy. Ci, którzy korzystali z Pogotowia Autorskiego, byli jak pszczoły. Zlatywali się, żeby zbierać nektar w różanym ogrodzie Pająka, w ten sposób zdobywali surowiec, lecz większość z nich wkładała wiele trudu i wysiłku w jego przerobienie. Przetrawiali zebrany z róż nektar i przetwarzali go na własny miód.”
― Jostein Gaarder, quote from The Ringmaster's Daughter
“Bagi sebagian orang kebenaran itu penting, sebab mereka dapat menerimanya. Mereka dapat menghadapi kebenaran dengan tabah - ketabahan yang hanya dimiliki orang-orang yang mengharapkan kehidupan yang cerah.”

The Black TulipBookQuoters 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.
