“Perhaps because when everyone they knew and loved continued to die, they realized the value of distance, of not losing one's self completely to love.”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“How come she couldn't have a nice supernatural life like the girls on Charmed or even Buffy? They all had friends. Even on Supernatural, the boys had each other. What did she have? Nothing, but one damed traitor after another.”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“You owe me."
"What do I owe you? All the things I gave you. How I took care of you. Money, information...pleasure. I denied you nothing. If I could give it to you, I did."
"You gave me things that cost you nothing. It certainly didn't seem to be a hardship to fuck me.”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“I'm so..." Heartsick. You took my insides and left me a little broken. ”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“You keep seeking to redeem me. You keep looking and hoping. Painting me in emotions I do not have, nor can have.”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“Because I feel as if I've known you my entire life. I feel as if there are unfinished things between us.”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“Cer sighed. “The bravado of you, Lucaius,” he said, like a father disappointed in his son. “This
time will be different because you are in my land, at my mercy, and stripped of all defenses.”
“You will make me blush.”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“In regard to leaving, your options are
limited. Dismemberment is one, but I have a hard time imagining you hacking Cerdewellyn into
pieces, even if you had the strength. Bone is…difficult.”
She ran her hands through her hair, feeling nervous. Yeah, that’s what’s keeping me from
dismembering him, pulling a muscle as I cut through bone.”
― Caroline Hanson, quote from Love Is Mortal
“The Amoeba?" she asked Aiden.
"The gang," he said, tossing his hand to indicate all around. "My
people. A large amorphous mass that keeps on changing size, hasn't
much apparent use, sometimes makes you sick, and occasionally breaks
off into smaller parts that act exactly like the parent.”
― Annette Curtis Klause, quote from Blood and Chocolate
“During his life, the witcher had met thieves who looked like town councilors, councilors who looked like beggars, harlots who looked like princesses, princesses who looked like calving cows and kings who looked like thieves. But Stregobor always looked as, according to every rule and notion, a wizard should look. He was tall, thin and stooping, with enormous bushy gray eyebrows and a long, crooked nose. To top it off, he wore a black, trailing robe with improbably wide sleeves, and wielded a long staff capped with a crystal knob.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, quote from The Last Wish
“There is nothing you can do except try to write it the way that it was. So you must write each day better than you possibly can and use the sorrow that you have now to make you know how the early sorrow came. And you must always remember the things you believed because if you know them they will be there in the writing and you won’t betray them. The writing is the only progress you make.”
― Ernest Hemingway, quote from The Garden of Eden
“We kissed again. It grew deeper; Alex wrapped his arms around me, drawing me close against him. His back was smooth and warm. I ran my hands over it as we kissed, loving the feel of his skin, and almost went faint as his lips moved briefly to my neck and then found my mouth again. In my entire life, nothing had ever felt as good as Alex kissing me like that. When we finally pulled apart, both our hearts were pounding.
I cleared my throat, skimming my fingers along his forearm. "Alex, you, um...you know that I've never--"
"I know," he broke in softly. He reached for my hand, linking his fingers through mine. "Willow, it's OK. We'll do whatever you want. I just want to be with you; I don't care.”
― L.A. Weatherly, quote from Angel
“Tomorrow, I will take on all of these things. I will be unstoppable.”
― Marie Lu, quote from The Young Elites
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.
