“if you do not want me to break your wrist with one squeeze of my hand, you will do two things immediately, First you will remove your hand from my woman's purse. Second, you will remove your hand from my shirt. It's attached to the body that belongs to the owner of the purse.”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“He's forbidden fruit, and I'm Eve standing in front of the apple”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“And when you had nothing, extra meant everything.”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“But then, I do not know what love is. I know lust and anger. Despair and satisfaction. But love? No. That is not for me.”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“If Nick is darkness with a kernel of light inside him, I am light with the matching kernel of darkness. It's what makes us so perfect for one another.”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“I want a hero. A big strong, handsome prince to come rescue me from my
miserable life. But since one has not arrived, I must rescue myself.
-Daisy”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“He is bad in bed. I can see the roommate masturbating after the man falls asleep. I place the crosshairs over his heart. It would be a mercy killing. A man who goes to sleep without satisfying his woman deserves punishment. He sleeps through her self-pleasure? Death is too kind.”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“It is clear to me that Daisy can never be left alone. She is too trusting and too willing to try out new things without the leavening effect of fear.”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“I think for a minute, trying to invent a good lie, and come up with nothing. Hitmen are bad liars.”
― Jessica Clare, quote from Last Hit
“Impatiently, I grip the offensive hand in mine. “If you do not want me to break your wrist with one squeeze of my hand, you will do two things immediately. First, you will remove your hand from my woman’s purse. Second, you will remove your hand from this shirt. It is attached to the body that belongs to the owner of the purse.”

“For God's sake!" Hart sprang to his feet.
Everyone at the table stopped and stared at him, including Ian. "Do I have to be made a mockery of in my own house?"
Mac leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head. "Would you prefer we made a mockery of you in the street? In Hyde Park, maybe? In the middle of Pall Mall? The card room in your club?"
"Mac, shut it!”
― Jennifer Ashley, quote from The Duke's Perfect Wife
“I don’t know how it happened, but the girl I wanted nothing to do with, I now want everything to do with. Where at first I couldn’t care less if she stumbled and fell, I now want to move mountains out of her way, to hand her the moon so she can walk where she wants and see where she is going.”
― L. Filloon, quote from The Binding
“Men always want what they can’t have, or what other men want. It’s a scientific fact.”
― Gina L. Maxwell, quote from Seducing Cinderella
“The bear, which by now was as large as the cathedral on Catherine’s canal, rose on its hind legs like a dancing bear in a street market. For a moment the sun was blotted out by its size, and then it fell. As it fell, it came apart. It disintegrated. It fell like brown snow, but each flake was a person. The bear had been one hundred thousand people, and now the people came to earth, tumbling into the snowy streets of the city and picking themselves up, laughing at it all. Far from being hurt, they realised that they felt strong. But, like the bear, they felt hungry. They ran through the streets, swarming like bees, joining others who had emerged when the sun had. It was chaos.”
― Marcus Sedgwick, quote from Blood Red, Snow White
“In church, does it ever seem to you a kind of game? Hypocritical. Be humble, they say, yet people come in their best clothes. Give penance, yet as they close their eyes and kneel, they compare who is better dressed, the beauty of someone else’s wife, the sway of her hips, they think of anything but prayers.”
― Tess Uriza Holthe, quote from When the Elephants Dance

Warrior of the LightBookQuoters 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.
