“I hope you find a place in your life when you can let go and be happy. But I’m not a dirty secret. I’m not bad and wrong for being comfortable with myself, and I won’t let you make me feel that way.”
― Lauren Dane, quote from Laid Bare
“You’re weird. I thought brothers were supposed to pretend their sisters were sexless.”
…
“I’m your brother, not an idiot. If he hurts you, I’ll crush him, but I want you to be happy. You want him and that’s enough for me.”
― Lauren Dane, quote from Laid Bare
“Sleep. I’m here to catch you.”
― Lauren Dane, quote from Laid Bare
“Erin, I’d like to know you again. Can we do that?” He brushed the back of his knuckles down her cheek.”
― Lauren Dane, quote from Laid Bare
“She didn't think in terms of "dom" being capitalized and "sub" being lowercase. To Erin, D/s wasn't about one person being worthy of a capital letter and the other not. It wasn't about unequal worth; it was about two equals sharing power, sharing sex and emotion. She didn't submit to him because she wanted to be debased or harmed, because she needed to be lesser than anyone. She was aware some people got off on that, and hey, whatever floats your boat. But when he dominated her, she felt cherished and adored, cosseted in those cherished moments between them-in a way she never achieved with anyone else.”
― Lauren Dane, quote from Laid Bare

“At the root of resilience is the willingness to take responsibility for results.”
― quote from Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life
“Un único Espíritu. Mucho antes de que Sumeria existiera, antes de que en Egipto se construyera Sakkara, antes de que floreciera el valle del Indo, el espíritu vivía en cuerpos humanos, danzando en una cultura elevada. La Esfinge sabe la verdad. Somos mucho más de lo que sabemos. Hemos olvidado. La Flor de la Vida fue y es conocida por toda la vida. Toda la vida, no sólo aquí sino en todas partes, sabía que era el patrón de la creación la vía de entrada y salida. El Espíritu nos creó con esta imagen. Tú sabes que es verdad; está escrito en tu cuerpo, en todos tus cuerpos.”
― Drunvalo Melchizedek, quote from The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life: Volume 1
“The difference between "boundaries we set for ourselves" and "rules we place on someone else" might just seem like one of semantics, but it is profound. Rules tend to come from the idea that it's acceptable, or even desirable, for you to control someone else's behavior, or for someone else to control yours. Boundaries derive from the idea that the only person you really control is yourself.”
― Franklin Veaux, quote from More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory
“Every living thing is precious somehow.”

GrayBookQuoters 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.
