“Whatever demon invented stiletto-heeled boots should roast in hell...”

“Awww, that's sweet. Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a well-made implement of pain.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“People—especially men—don't always know what they want. You try, and if it doesn't work, then you may quit.”
With a broken heart. As if she'd read her mind, Abuelita frowned and scolded, “Hearts mend, but lost chances are gone forever.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“Chocolate's better than sex any day.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“You little subs make me nervous. Being around you is too much like walking into a room filled with tiny kittens and trying not to step on one.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“I'm not likely to forget someone slapping my butt with a big piece of wood.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“I do like seeing you in chains, darlin'.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“Dios, she'd never come so hard in her life. How many people died this way? How would he ever explain to the ambulance crews that he'd chained his girlfriend out on the deck and killed her with too many orgasms?”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“A girl could get to hate Doms.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“Marcus stepped behind the bar, saying, “Dan sent me over to assist you and learn how to tend the bar.”
Doms could be pain-in-the-ass mother hens.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“Maybe I'll just stand here for the half hour and pretend to be a statue. “You were given an order, sub,” he said softly.
Or not.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“In faded leathers and boots, he sure wasn't a clotheshorse like Antonio, and he was sure a lot bigger. The brown leather pants clung to long legs, and his vest opened over a thickly muscled chest. His neck was corded, his arms solid. A gold band circled one darkly tanned biceps. His face… She frowned. All rough lines and craggy bones, he looked like a hard-edged Boromir from Lord of the Rings. His mouth was set in a firm line. And didn't that just figure she'd end up with Boromir? At least Aragorn had a sense of humor.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Lean on Me
“Madre de Dios, the way he looks at you, like he's just waiting to get you into bed.”

“A fragrant breeze wandered up from the quiet sea, trailed along the beach, and drifted back to the sea again, wondering where to go next. On a mad impulse it went up to the beach again. It drifted back to sea.”
― Douglas Adams, quote from The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide
“The fundamental response to change is not logical, but emotional.”

“Muscle imbalances caused by hours of sitting in chairs have also been hypothesized to contribute to one of the most common health problems on the planet: lower back pain. Depending on where you live and what you do, your chances of getting lower back pain are between 60 and 90 percent.”
― quote from The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease
“A belligerent samurai, an old Japanese tale goes, once challenged a Zen master to explain the concept of heaven and hell. The monk replied with scorn, "You're nothing but a lout - I can't waste my time with the likes of you!"
His very honor attacked, the samurai flew into a rage and, pulling his sword from its scabbard, yelled "I could kill you for your impertinence."
"That," the monk calmly replied, "is hell."
Startled at seeing the truth in what the master pointed out about the fury that had him in its grip, the samurai calmed down, sheathed his sword, and bowed, thanking the monk for the insight.
"And that,"said the monk "is heaven."
The sudden awakening of the samurai to his own agitated state illustrates the crucial difference between being caught up in a feeling and becoming aware that you are being swept away by it. Socrates's injunction "Know thyself" speaks to the keystone of emotional intelligence: awareness of one's own feelings as they occur.”

ReaverBookQuoters 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.
