“The kind of love that spreads through your body, possessing and controlling it, doesn’t just die. It keeps living the way a broken heart keeps beating.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“The things we remember the clearest aren’t necessarily the big, heart-stopping moments everyone expects. They’re the little things that add up. The little things most people look over but that mean the most.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“Love is promising to give someone everything and not expect anything in return.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“You're playing with fire, Aaron. People who do that get burned."
"I don't play with fire, Dayton. I stroke it and make it burn hotter and faster until it consumes everything in its path. I'll never take a spark where I can have a roaring flame.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“Fuck you and your memories."
"And fuck you and your defiance, Dayton.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“Pfft. Wine is the greatest invention. Next to the vibrator, of course. They’re equally fabulous.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“Sei così fottutamente bello che fa male.” He”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“There isn’t a price I wouldn’t pay for you, Dayton. Money has no value when the thing you desire is priceless.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“I forgive him, But I don´t know if I trully trust him, and this is funny thing about trust. You can love and forgive, but you don´t necessarily trust, Broken hearts and promises can be fixed so easily because they break in different way than trust, When trust is broken, it´s shattered into thousand pieces. And sometimes, it´s never put back together the same way.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“You loved me once. You loved me like I was the air you needed to breathe, like you needed my touch to keep you alive. You loved me the very same way I loved you. Obsessively. Insanely. Relentlessly. Don’t tell me you don’t believe in love when for six short weeks, all those years ago, you couldn’t possibly live without it.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“if you’re having an orgasm, I’m better than I thought. Or you just really love the idea of sucking my cock.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“Love it because the only thing that’s turned me on in at least two years is battery-operated. Hate it because it’s him. Enough said.”
― Emma Hart, quote from Late Call
“Try to sleep. Tomorrow’s coming, whether we worry about it or not.”
― Veronica Rossi, quote from Into the Still Blue
“The spoken word converts individual knowledge into mutual knowledge, and there is no way back once you've gone over that cliff. Saying nothing was more amendable, and over time I'd come to see that it was usually your best course of action.”
― Karen Joy Fowler, quote from We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
“My point is that first loves always make sense because you don’t know any better. Everything is a first and any warning bells are drowned out by the sheer novelty of it all.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from See Me
“След няколко кратки ноти, акцентирани в стакато, следва акорд, гласът на мама се промъква сред нотите му, превзема една от тях и отскача до небето: започва се. В накъсан ритъм тя слиза от високите ноти, изпети с разчувстваща нежност, до дълбоките и тъмни води на ниските тонове, които изпява като стенание, сякаш животът я напуска, капка по капка. Понякога прави един шум с устните си, сякаш се отваря капачка, на други места се удря по гърдите с длан, за да подчертае музиката, която се лее от гърлото ѝ. Сякаш гласът ѝ разказва някаква история – не само историята на живота ѝ, но и тази на цялото човечество – войните и глада, битките и изпитанията, победите и пораженията. А понякога гласът ѝ бушува в заплашителни вълни, като океана по време на буря, друг път е като водопад, който се спуска по скалата, подскача по камъните и се втурва разпенен надолу към пищната тъмна долина. Гласът ѝ рисува около главата ми златни кръгове като Сатурнови пръстени, люлее се лудешки отгоре надолу, сякаш танцува френски канкан, жалее и потръпва, увива се около някое е ниско фа като бръшлян около ствол на дърво, след като се гмурва в кристалносините води на акорда в сол мажор, който Питър повтаря неколкократно с лявата си ръка… Във възторг съм. Мама е права: никой никога не е използвал гласа си така.”
― Nancy Huston, quote from Fault Lines
“I know that sometimes when you are really worried about something, it ends up not being nearly as bad as you think it will be, and you get to be relieved that you were just being silly, worrying so much over nothing. But sometimes it is just the opposite. It can happen that whatever you are worried about will be even worse than you could have possibly imagined, and you find that you were right to be worried, and even that, maybe, you weren't worried enough.”
― Laura Moriarty, quote from The Center of Everything
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.
