“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.”

“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.”

“As to the ancient historians, from Herodotus to Tacitus, we credit them as far as they relate things probable and credible, and no further: for if we do, we must believe the two miracles which Tacitus relates were performed by Vespasian, that of curing a lame man, and a blind man, in just the same manner as the same things are told of Jesus Christ by his historians. We must also believe the miracles cited by Josephus, that of the sea of Pamphilia opening to let Alexander and his army pass, as is related of the Red Sea in Exodus. These miracles are quite as well authenticated as the Bible miracles, and yet we do not believe them; consequently the degree of evidence necessary to establish our belief of things naturally incredible, whether in the Bible or elsewhere, is far greater than that which obtains our belief to natural and probable things.”

“Some children at one of his tournaments in Burgundy had taken to calling him "Goliath". Not the most endearing biblical character.”

“Anyone who has a two hundred-plus IQ runs the risk of just hanging out because you get too involved in your own thoughts and you just want to sit there and think about them.”
― Brandon Stanton, quote from Humans of New York: Stories
“Death is so close, always, a breath away, so perhaps it was wise to introduce children to that concept at an early age. Maya filled her head with inanities like this as she watched Joe’s casket disappear into the earth. Distract yourself. That was the key. Get through it. The black dress itched. Over the past decade, Maya had been to a hundred-plus funerals, but this was the first time she’d been obligated to wear black. She hated it. To”

Red DragonBookQuoters 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.
