“Gabi to Marcus "I can't believe out of one hundred thousand sperm, you were the fastest!”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“Impertinent submissive,” Raoul snapped, and his dark brown eyes turned mean. “Nothing new for this one. You're doing a lousy job of bringing her to heel, Marcus.”
“Bring me to heel? Like I'm a dog?” Without thinking, Gabi instinctively yanked away and snapped out, “Bite me.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“She couldn’t take her eyes from the dancing flame. No, this was so wrong. Candles should be used for meditation…for romance. Or on a birthday cake at least.
So where was the cake? The present? The song? As he stepped closer to her—as the damned flame got way too close—she started singing. “Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me…” Marcus paused, looking at her in disbelief. See. I knew he didn’t have a sense of humor. “Happy birthday, dear Gabi”—she lifted her head and blew out the candle—“happy birthday to me.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“You dickweed! Are you always stupid, or is today a special occasion?”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“Oh lord and master. High muckety-muck.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“Am I your dom, little rabbit?”
“Yes.” Her red-brown brows drew together. “What’s wrong?”
“Not a thing.” He gave her a faint smile, and his gravelly voice deepened. “I thought I’d tell you we’re getting married next month.”
~Nolan and Beth~”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“You know how really big guys are always nicknamed Tiny?" She didn’t wait for any response, afraid she’d chicken out. "Guess that would make you Master Munchkin, huh?”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“You mean you’re not God? Nooo, say it isn’t so!”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“She took a second look at him, at his fancy tailored suit. Dark gray with pinstripes. Oh please, like she’d really believe he was a dom at all? “Gabrielle Anderson. Are you sure you’re Master Marcus?”
“Why would you think I’m not Master Marcus?” he asked. Well, good grief. She waved a hand at him and kept the duh from slipping out. Just in case he really was Master Marcus. Maybe he hadn’t changed yet or something. “The suit? Where are your leathers or latex or…biker jacket or vest? And black? Did you forget to wear black?”
He stared for a second, as if she’d turned into a drooling idiot, and then simply roared. Deep, full laughter—amazing coming from someone who looked like he should have a stick up his ass.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“You dumb-ass ape, get your hand off me. What—are you the first in your family to be born without a tail?”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir

“I felt sorry for myself since my wimpy dom can’t catch a snail crossing the sidewalk.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“I'll work with her." For now. Then he gave Z a steady look and drew his line in the sand. "You are the owner, sir, but they're my trainees. I would be most grateful if you could remember that." Don't do it again.
Gray eyes level, Z tilted his head in acknowledgement and slid the trainee's paperwork down the bar top.
With a grin, the bartender set a drink on the bar. "You know, Marcus, you say fuck you almost as politely as the boss."
-Master Z, Marcus and Cullen”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“Okay, you’re older. Not much, really. And considering you love staying in shape and I refuse to run, we’ll probably get all old and crippled at the same time. If not, then I’ll learn to use a cane, and I’ll get to beat on your ass for a change.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“Is that your face or did your neck just throw up?”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“You want to count, Gabrielle? One! She sucked in a breath, mad enough the words slid right out. You asshole, one!”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“If you keep all those thoughts inside, your brain will explode.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“An older dom snorted. “Atherton uses the word escort loosely. The last time someone messed with a trainee, he threw the guy across the bar. Strolled over, waited for the idiot to stand up, punched his lights out, and dragged him by his jacket collar out of the place. Escorted him, my ass. Didn’t even wrinkle that fancy suit.” He took a sip of his beer and added, “Atherton is invariably polite, but nobody in their right mind fucks with his trainees.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“Darlin’, I wasn’t just a Boy Scout, I was an Eagle Scout.”

― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“You are such a sleazeball, Rhodes—walking, talking proof of why siblings shouldn’t marry.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“The fun we’ll have tonight is called figging.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“Pull up your big-girl panties, Gabi.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“New Englanders could be so brusque.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“As a submissive needed the security of a dominant’s arms, the dominant needed to provide it.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“It’s a girl thing, trying to change ourselves as if we can change our lives too.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from Make Me, Sir
“When I was first aware that I had been laid low by the disease, I felt a need, among other things, to register a strong protest against the word "depression." Depression, most people know, used to be termed "melancholia," a word which appears in English as the year 1303 and crops up more than once in Chaucer, who in his usage seemed to be aware of its pathological nuances. "Melancholia" would still appear to be a far more apt and evocative word for the blacker forms of the disorder, but it was usurped by a noun with a blank tonality and lacking any magisterial presence, used indifferently to describe an economic decline or a rut in the ground, a true wimp of a word for such a major illness.
It may be that the scientist generally held responsible for its currency in modern times, a Johns Hopkins Medical School faculty member justly venerated -- the Swiss-born psychiatrist Adolf Meyer -- had a tin ear for the finer rhythms of English and therefore was unaware of the semantic damage he had inflicted for such a dreadful and raging disease. Nonetheless, for over seventy-five years the word has slithered innocuously through the language like a slug, leaving little trace of its intrinsic malevolence and preventing, by its insipidity, a general awareness of the horrible intensity of the disease when out of control.”
― William Styron, quote from Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness
“Just so you know, you can call me anything you want—just as long as you always call me.”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Through the Zombie Glass
“Jaenelle leaned over the narrow window seat, gulping in the winter air. “It hurts so much to live here, Daemon,” she whimpered as he cradled her in his arms. “Sometimes it hurts so much.”
“Shh.” He stroked her hair. “Shh.”
― Anne Bishop, quote from Daughter of the Blood
“Coop kissed me deeply, drawing my breath from me in a long, sweet ribbon. "Perhaps I haven't mentioned it, but I'm an expert when it comes to first steps."
Are you," I said. "Then tell me how."
You close your eyes," Coop answered, "and jump.”
― Jodi Picoult, quote from Plain Truth
“So?" Bob said. "Hat up, go kill her. Problem solved."
"Bob," I said. "You can't just go around killing people."
"I know. That's why you should do it."
"No, no. I can't go around killing people, either.”
― Jim Butcher, quote from Grave Peril
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.
