“I feel like Harry Potter just put liquid luck in my butterbeer before Quidditch practice.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“They have two moods, hungry and horny. So if you see a boy without an erection, you should go make him a sandwich. - Girl, don't you dare listen to them. You tell them to make their own damn sandwiches.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“Naw, you have that thing. That think outside the box thing. It’s like you think anything is possible. It’s refreshing.” “Well, whatever we can dream, we can do, right?” His green eyes glisten and he says quietly, “I sure hope so.” “Aiden! Have you been dreaming about me?” He blushes. Seriously. He actually blushes. And I was just teasing. I mean, I’ve had dreams about him. But he BLUSHED! That means his dreams were sexual!”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“After a kiss like that, he should know I’m the one.
He should be down on his knees begging me to marry him and have his little Hottie babies.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“Attack me already. Please! I can’t take it anymore.
But I don’t say any of that. I just savor each and every slow, amazing, and tongue-free kiss.
Maybe he was born without a tongue, I think for a brief second, but then I realize that I am dumb because he wouldn’t be able to talk if he had been, now would he?”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“But what did Grandpa’s ranch hand say about boys? They have two moods, hungry and horny. So if you see a boy without an erection, you should go make him a sandwich. That made Grandpa laugh, and Grandma say, Keatyn, don’t you dare listen to them. You tell them to make their own damn sandwiches.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“I want my kisses to haunt his dreams. I want him to beg for me. Seriously, the next time he tries to kiss me, I’m going to turn the other way. I want him down on his knees begging, Please, Boots, please!”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“Hmm. Well, good. Does that mean it’d be okay if I wanted to get down on my knees again sometime?” Dallas walks up behind me. “And just what are you going to do down on your knees, Kiki?” “Look for seashells, what else?” I sass back.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“He smiles.
It’s a blinding, white-toothed smile.
A push-me-over-the-edge-of-the-love-cliff smile.
And before I can say a word in protest, he’s got my hand and is dragging me through the carnival.
Note to self: Do not stare directly at his smile. It holds special powers.
Also: Do not kiss him. His mouth is definitely the source of his power.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“Riley is sitting in his desk chair, rolling around and trying to figure out how to rule the world. Or, at least, how to sleep with it.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“You sound like you’re still in bed.” “I am. You done with detention?” “Yes. How would you like some breakfast in bed?” “I just want you in my bed, but food would be nice too.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“He smiles and pours us each a drink, then puts his glass up in the air. “Here’s to my beautiful naked girl.” “I’m not drinking to my nakedness.” He runs his hand down my stomach. “Oh, but you should.” “Dawson! Stop that! We need to order food. I’m starving.” “Me too, but it’s not my fault you’re so damn sexy, and you make me want you. All the time.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“In third period Math, we were forced to sit in alphabetical order. Which put me right behind Logan, who was throwing all those passes to Aiden in the scrimmage. He took off his navy blazer and when he leaned forward to write, I could see muscles bulging across his back and shoulders. I can already tell Math is going to suck, but at least I’ll have a nice view.
It’s like what Grandpa always says about real estate. Location, location, location.”
― Jillian Dodd, quote from Kiss Me
“Wildness had never been a part of her life. Home, work, home, work. That's all her life had consisted of, really. She'd told Maddox that she'd been glad for her solitude, bu the truth was, there were times she'd been starved for touch. Any touch.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from The Darkest Night
“For eight years I dreamed of fire. Trees ignited as I passed them; oceans burned.”
― Vanessa Diffenbaugh, quote from The Language of Flowers
“When a woman wants me to do anything (my daughter, or not, it doesn't matter), I always insist on knowing why. The oftener you make them rummage their own minds for a reason, the more manageable you will find them in all the relations of life. It isn't their fault (poor wretches!) that they act first and think afterwards; it's the fault of the fools who humour them.”
― Wilkie Collins, quote from The Moonstone
“I think the act of reading imbues the reader with a sensitivity toward the outside world that people who don't read can sometimes lack. I know it seems like a contradiction in terms; after all reading is such a solitary, internalizing act that it appears to represent a disengagement from day-to-day life. But reading, and particularly the reading of fiction, encourages us to view the world in new and challenging ways...It allows us to inhabit the consciousness of another which is a precursor to empathy, and empathy is, for me, one of the marks of a decent human being.”
― John Connolly, quote from The Book of Lost Things
“The form does not matter. Content is everything.”
― Ray Bradbury, quote from The Illustrated Man
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.
