“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

“I can't remember everything we talked about, but the beginning of that conversation is a lot clearer to me than the end. By the time we came to the last half hour or forty-five minutes, there was so much bourbon in my system that I was actually seeing double. This had never happened to me before, and I had no idea how to bring the world back into focus. Whenever I looked at Sachs, there were two of him. Blinking my eyes didn't help, and shaking my head only made me dizzy. Sachs had turned into a man with two heads and two mouths, and when I finally stood up to leave, I can remember how he caught me in his four arms just as I was about to fall. It was probably a good thing that there were so many of him that afternoon. I was nearly a dead weight by then, and I doubt that one man could have carried me.”
― Paul Auster, quote from Leviathan
“They understood, as few have understood before or since, how fleeting life is and how pointless to try to hold on to things or people. They pursued the wondrous deed, the heroic gesture: fighting, fucking, drinking, art - poetry for intense emotion, the music that accompanied the heroic drinking with which each day ended, bewitching ornament for one's person and possessions.”
― Thomas Cahill, quote from How the Irish Saved Civilization
“Had the Battle of Franklin ever really ended? Carrie walked her cemetery, and around her the wounds closed up and scarred over, but only in that way that an oak struck by lightning heals itself by twisting and bending around the wound: it is still recognizably a tree, it still lives as a tree, it still puts out its leaves and acorns, but its center, hidden deep within the curtain of green, remains empty and splintered where it hasn't been grotesquely scarred over. We are happy the tree hasn't died, and from the proper angle we can look on it and suppose that it is the same tree as it ever was, but it is not and never will be.”
― Robert Hicks, quote from The Widow of the South
“When my father first came home from college, he sat my grandparents down to tell them some very serious news. They followed him quizzically into the living room, and from the bantam couch stared up at their nervous, pacing son.
"I'm gay," he announced.
They sat stunned for a moment, and just as his mother started to cry he said,
"Just kidding. I smoke.”
― Sarah Silverman, quote from The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee
“I love...that elevator,” she said.
With a sleepy smile and a full heart, he turned his head and kissed into her soft hair. “Aw, Red. I love that elevator, too.”

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.
