“I’m the one with the dick and you’re the one that wants it,’ he gently said. ‘It’s not complicated.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“I think I love you or everything about you which may or may not be love but close enough to be scary. You’ll forget me an hour after I’m gone and I’ll remember you for the rest of my life.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“I know what you’re doing and you can just stop this ultimate control shit.’
‘Make me,’ he softly said.
‘It’s not a game, Dominic.’
‘Everything’s a game, babe . Business, life, fucking.’ He smiled. ‘But any game with you is extra special…”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“No, not at all.’ Her temper was intriguing. He rarely experienced opposition in his life, and it seemed Miss Hart scarcely uttered a compliant word – unless she was half asleep.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Innocence waiting to be fucked, he pleasantly thought. And his, he decided with the proprietary instincts of a modern princeling.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“I want you to understand who’s in charge of your climax the next few days,’ he coolly said. ‘So there’s no misunderstandings.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“And what was left behind was an unblinking enigma of a man, ruthless, without borderlines, slippery as mist, beautiful, passionate, remote. And totally and irredeemably loveable.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“I like Hollywood happy endings.’
‘I thought you might.’
‘You say it like there’s something wrong with happily ever after.’
‘On the contrary, if only it were true the world would be a better place.’
‘Cynic.’
‘Welcome to my reality.’
‘That’s what comes from making too much money.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“I don’t mind, really. I’ll try to be better.’ If anyone in Knight Enterprises had heard Dominic’s response , they would have thought their CEO had finally gone over the edge into some neurotic psychosis due to overwork. I’ll try to be better. Mea culpas weren’t his style.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Dominic smiled. ‘Good. Then it might not be such an expensive piece of ass after all. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some apologizing to do. A helluva lot of apologizing. Give me a week at least before you reschedule. Katherine is agitated,’ he grimaced, ‘and with good reason. I’m going to need a few days to calm her down.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Dominic stared at her in stunned disbelief. Female resistance didn’t exist in his world.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Stop,’ he grumbled, ‘or you’ll get a spanking instead of an apology.’
‘Are you kidding me? Thanks to you I almost OD’d on orgasms.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“…a long-haired, younger, super-lean Dominic Knight with sleek, corded muscles and the loose-limbed grace of a large jungle cat. Even in the unprofessional video one could see the hint of menace in the spring-coiled twitch of his hand holding the crop.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“You’re the kind of man who might leave scars,’ she said a moment later, her voice deliberate as though clarifying her position not just to him but to herself.
‘But you’re also the kind of man who might end up leaving a tattoo on my sex life that I’ll enjoy looking at later.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“You’re lucky I like you,’ he said with a grin.
‘Do you really?’
He hesitated a fraction of a second.
But her eyes were huge with entreaty.
He knew what she wanted to hear.
‘Yes, really,’ he whispered.
He might have even meant it.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“He went absolutely still for a split second, an error message flashing wildly in his brain. Another second passed before he resumed breathing, then another before he concluded that the conversation about procreation at lunch was to blame for his bizarre thoughts.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Once she was resting on his thighs and thoroughly impaled, her impatience, momentarily assuaged with her drug of choice buried deep within her, she whispered…”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“A slow-motion kiss that took the place of the million things she wanted to say to him and couldn’t because he didn’t want to hear them. About pragmatism and the sad ache of regret. About love and longing, about the shadow of fear that was so strong it was making her ears buzz. About the rising panic of losing him.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Moments mattered in life; they zipped by too fast, or you were looking the other way when you should have been paying attention. Either way you missed them.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“If you need anything, ask your butler.’
‘Butler?’ There was a word that had never before entered her life.
‘They come with the suites.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“But he was a businessman first; there was time enough for other things once Miss Hart had done her job. Since he’d lost Julia, he was indifferent to women for anything other than sex and that was available anywhere. Miss Hart’s sexual function was immaterial.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“I hope we didn’t bruise anything.’
‘Yours or mine,’ she almost said, the imprint of his sizeable dick stamped on her thigh.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Before the driver came to a complete stop, Dominic had leaped from the car and was striding towards the private jet, his phone to his ear.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“He shouldn’t even be thinking about dragging her into his wayward world of carnal games. He should give her a free pass. Or maybe just give her the illusion of a free pass. Cold-blooded manipulation or decency? What would it be?”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“He shrugged . ‘That’s part of the game. Excess is an escape for me, a defence against old ghosts and what seems at times a soulless reality – present company excepted, of course,’ he said with a small smile.”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Have you ever noticed that those who do the least complain the most and those who know the least talk the most?”
― C.C. Gibbs, quote from Knight's Mistress
“Moments mattered in life; you missed them or they zipped by too fast, or you were looking the other way when you should have been paying attention. Either way you missed them.”

"Only when I want to apologize and throw myself on the mercy of a beautiful woman.”
― Nora Roberts, quote from Inner Harbor
“Tu nie ma wody tu jest tylko skała
Skała bez wody i piaszczysta droga
Droga wijąca się wśród gór nad nami
Między skałami głazami bez wody
Gdyby tu była woda stanąłbym i pił
Lecz pośród skał nie można myśleć ani stać
Suchy jest pot a stopy grzęzną w piachu
Gdyby tu woda spływała ze skał
Martwa jest paszcza gór spróchniałe zęby pluć nie mogą
Tutaj nie można usiąść leżeć ani stać
I ciszy nawet nie ma w górach
Tylko bezpłodny suchy grzmot bez deszczu
I samotności nawet nie ma w górach
Tylko posępne czerwone twarze - drwią i szydzą
W drzwiach lepianek z popękanej gliny
Gdyby tu była woda
A nie skała
Gdyby tu była skała
Ale i woda
I woda
Źródło
Sadzawka wśród skał
Gdyby tu był chociażby wody dźwięk
A nie cykada
I śpiew suchych traw
Ale na skale wody dźwięk
Gdzie drozd-pustelnik śpiewa pośród sosen
Krop kap krop kap kap kap kap
Ale tu nie ma wody
Kim jest ten trzeci, który zawsze idzie obok ciebie?
Gdy liczę nas, jesteśmy tylko ty i ja
Lecz gdy spoglądam przed siebie w biel drogi
Zawsze ktoś jeszcze idzie obok ciebie,
Stąpa spowity płaszczem brunatnym, w kapturze
Nie wiem czy jest to kobieta czy mąż
- Kim jest ten, który idzie po twej drugiej stronie?
Co to za dźwięki wysoko w powietrzu
Pomruk matczynych lamentów
Co to za hordy w kapturach, jak roje
Na bezkresnych równinach, utykają na spękanej ziemi
Otoczonej jedynie płaskim horyzontem
Co to za miasto nad łańcuchem gór
Pęka i zrasta się i rozpryskuje - w fioletowym wietrze
Walące się wieże
Jeruzalem Ateny Aleksandria
Wiedeń Londyn
Nierzeczywiste”

Selected PoemsBookQuoters 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.
