“ROBBING GRAVES! SHES ASKING US TO ROB GRAVES!”
― Brandon Mull, quote from The Candy Shop War

“«Puoi baciarmi, se vuoi» lo invitò provocante.
Per un attimo parve che il cuore e il respiro di Aeron si fermassero, mentre i suoi occhi si accendevano di una luce infuocata. «Non dovrei. Sei un angelo.»
«Caduto» gli ricordò lei per l’ennesima volta. «L’altro giorno sarei potuta morire. Sarei potuta morire anche oggi e in tal caso sarei morta senza conoscere il tuo sapore. Che peccato, dal momento che è tutto quello che desidero.»
«Non dovrei» ripeté lui. Si chinò in avanti, ma purtroppo si fermò appena prima di sfiorarla.
Olivia cercò di soffocare un grido di frustrazione. «Spiegami perché.»
«Non ho bisogno di distrazioni.» Be’, almeno non si era tirato indietro. «Non ho bisogno di una donna. Non ho bisogno di niente.»
In effetti, nessun uomo pareva così deciso a restare solo. «Be’, io ho bisogno di distrarmi» dichiarò Olivia invece di mettersi a discutere. Gli posò una mano sul collo e lo attirò a sé.
Aeron avrebbe potuto opporre resistenza e fermarla, ma non lo fece e cadde su di lei. Rimasero a guardarsi negli occhi a lungo: il corpo di lui la inchiodava al letto e nessuno dei due sembrava in grado di respirare.
«Aeron» sussurrò Olivia infine.
«Sì?»
«Non so cosa fare» ammise lei.
«Io sì» rispose lui di slancio. Poi le coprì la bocca con la propria.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from The Darkest Passion

About BookQuoters

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.
