“Even with nothing kinky involved, sex with him would not merely be physical, it would be an act of sheer possession and power.”
― Maya Cross, quote from Locked
“Everything was like a business deal to him. Approach from different angles until you find one that works. "Go on then," I said, rolling my eyes. "Make your pitch. But remember, the clock is ticking." "Dinner." "Dinner? As in, the two of us?" He nodded. "That sounds dangerously close to a date," I replied. "Wouldn't that be breaking the rules?" He smiled ruefully. "Maybe, but I don't believe you've given me much choice." "Of course I have. You could just leave me alone instead." "I don't consider that an option at all.”

“And what is it you want, Sophia?" "Well, call me old fashioned, but something more than, 'hey, want to fuck?' would be a good start." "I didn't pick you for a flowers and chocolates kind of girl." "I'm not. I'm too busy for that crap. Casual suits me just fine. But there's a difference between casual and meaningless.”
― Maya Cross, quote from Locked
“was nearly one in the morning when I realised that I was about to do something stupid. Ordinarily, I'm not someone who is prone to random acts of mischief. By day I'm as straight as they come. But get a few glasses of red into me, and suddenly”

“I knew Chloe LOVED to read, but I was in the middle of a MAJOR life crisis! For once, couldn’t she just try focusing on ME instead of her stupid book characters?! Then”

“Îi dispreţuiesc pe oamenii care sunt întruna gata să fotografieze şi toată ziua umblă cu aparatul atârnat de gât.Necotenit sunt în căutarea unui subiect şi fotografiează absolut orice,chiar şi lucrul cel mai absurd.N-au altceva în minte decât să se arate întruna pe ei înşişi şi întodeauna în maniera cea mai dezagreabilă,de care,de altfel,nici nu sunt conştienţi.Fixează în fotografiile lor o lume pervers deformată,care n-are nimic altceva în comun cu lumea reală decât această deformare perversă de care s-au făcut vinovaţi.Fotografiatul e o manie infamă de care este cuprinsă încetul cu încetul întreaga omenire,pentru că e nu numai îndrăgostire de deformare şi perversitate,ci şi înnebunită de ea şi,într-adevăr,prin fotografiere,cu timpul ia lumea deformată şi perversă drept singura autentică.Cei care fotografiează comit una din cele mai infame crime din câte din câte pot fi comise,deoarece,în fotografiile lor,oamenii apar ca nişte marionete ridicole,schimonosite până la nerecunoaştere,chiar desfigurate,care se holbează înspăimântate la obiectivul infam,într-un mod idiot,respingător.A fotografia e o pasiune abjectă,de care sunt cuprinse toate continentele şi toate straturile populaţiei,e o boală care a lovit întreaga omenire şi de care nu va mai putea fi vindecată niciodată.”

The Temporal VoidBookQuoters 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.
