“Are you calling about the ad?"
"Ad?"
"For the gently used Bentley for sale. It has zero miles!"
Well, that explained the backward driving.
Macrieve & Nix”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“So what are you going to wear to the apocalypse? I’m thinking something sparkly and transfixing.”-Nix”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“You asked me how old I am. I was born roughly nine centuries ago. I’ve lived for more than three hundred thousand days. And you made this one my favorite one of all."
-Uilleam MacRieve ~”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“Do you know what’s so strange, Uilleam?” she asked, saying his name perfectly. “You have never, in your entire life, done something for which you should truly be ashamed. You think you have, but you haven’t. Not until you hurt your own mate, blaming the poor girl for things she can’t control.”
- NIX to MacRieve ~”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“The witches ignored her, turning up the stereo. She cringed when yet another Bieber song pumped away. Great, she’d been captured by fucking Beliebers.
They planned to sell her at auction? When “Beauty and a Beat” played for the fifth time, Chloe decided she was ready for the block.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“Yes, wolf, I see all. And by all, I mean some.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve

MacRieve: It's MacRieve!”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“Some of the males rose from the table then, making noise about a rugby rematch. MacRieve tensed, but didn’t join them.
When a couple of the men said things in Gaelic, their tones taunting, she asked, “Are they trash-talking you?”
“Oh, aye. According to them, I’m the veriest pussy. Already mate-whipped.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve

― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“I don’t know about you driving. What if your beast comes out? I don’t think he’s got a driver’s permit.” In a weird voice, she said, “He don’t even have his license, Lisa.”
“Who’s Lisa?”
She blinked at him. “Weird Science? Never mind, crypt keeper. I’ll shoot you a YouTube sometime, through this thing we youngsters like to call ‘electronic mail.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“Doona worry, I’ll take care of you.” He grasped her hand in his. “You’re going to be all right.”

Loa said, “She keeps death away.”
Chloe blinked those big eyes up at him and whispered, “Wish that was the weirdest thing . . . I’ve heard tonight.”

― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“So let me get this straight. Your smokin’ hot mate might use chemicals to make you want to do her. Except you already want to, so it’s wasted chemicals. Then once you start having sex with her, you’re going to keep wanting to, which would likely have happened anyway, because like I said, she’s totally hot.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“But the lad wasn’t finished with Will. “I’ll never understand this. You’re supposed to hunt and provide for your mate. All you have to do is nut with her? What is wrong with you people?” As they walked off, Rónan told Ben, “If she was no’ his mate, then I could see, but she is. And she’s never done anything to us—except for refusing to cook—and he’s threatening to behead her and shite.” In a quieter, even more confused tone, he asked, “Are all the old ones this prejudiced?”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“Chloe, what would it take to start anew with you?” Hopelessness settled over him when she murmured, “More than you’ve got.” Yet then he reminded himself, She has no’ seen all I’ve got.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“Where your mate goes, you follow. . . .”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve

“Can someone please tell me why succubae are so bad?” Rónan said, quickly adding, “Ben does no’ understand this either.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“I-I need a shower,” she blurted, scrambling away from him. He raised his brows. “I’m in need of one myself. And we like to conserve water around here.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“That female has the power to enslave men.” Will was growing exasperated. Rónan seemed even more so. “Doona they all?”
― Kresley Cole, quote from MacRieve
“You told me I was part of the clan, that I was one of you. You told me you’d protect me, treasure me, and that no one would ever hurt me again. You told me we’d have eternity together, like a freaking Hallmark card!”

“Un sorriso
su una collana di perle;
una fila di chicchi di grandine,
ghirlanda di garofani bianchi.
Ricciolo arruffato di capelli
quale un fiume di notte;
bellezza che rallegra il cuore, così perfetta
che vedendola l'alba impallidisce di gelosia.”
― quote from The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1001 Nights, Volume 1
“Are you even listening to yourself right now? You sound like you’re from the nineteen hundreds, not the two thousands." I pointed at the bed. "That thing has been laid straight more times than should be possible, but she managed it somehow; since she could sink the Titanic between her thighs, and still have room. Not to mention that they have this marvelous invention called a condom, and thank fucking Christ for that, since it prevents that troll from touching my baby making treasure.”
― Katelin LaMontagne, quote from Surge
“What is there beyond the sky?' I asked my mother.
'Paradise.'

'Like children’s dreams.”

A Christmas Carol an...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.
