“Some people are born to survive. No matter what comes their way, no matter how much pain is dealt them, they live." ~Mercy~”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“You're just another f*cking mirage on my road to hell" ~Johnathon Lee Ashfield, AKA Sade~”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“Sade jolted with Mercy’s embrace from behind. “Sade!” she cried. “You have it! You have my love, I do love you, look at me.” She got in front of him and held his face. “I’m scared of you because I’ll die if I lose you. I’m scared I’ll never be enough, or what you need. I’m scared you’ll send me away,” she sobbed, hitting him in the chest. “I can’t lose you! I love you! I just want to be good enough for you!” Sade pulled her into his arms at hearing those words. “Mercy,” he gasped. “Say it again.” “I love you,” she cried holding him tight. “I love you so much. I never want to be apart from you." “I’m too fucking broken for you Mercy.” She shook her head and cried, “No! Don’t say that! I can fix it! We can fix it, and if we can’t,” she gasped, “we can be broken together,”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“I got you,” he whispered, hugging her tight wile rocking her side to side a little. “I got you, I’ll help you baby. You’re not dirty, you’re so fucking beautiful. I’ll fix it, you’ll see.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“He just knew that Mercy was... his. His in a way he didn't really get only knew she was. And he wanted her. He had to have her. Every bit of her. Own her.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“Fuck…” he closed his eyes a moment, “you’re like a sadomasochistic dessert. A pretty little cupcake I want to devour in one bite or maybe smell and lick all over before sinking so very slowly into you.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“I can’t lose you! I love you! I just want to be good enough for you!”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“I’m not a fucking thinker, wisher, dancer, or whiner. I’m a fucking doer. Can’t expect God to do it all now, can we? The man’s got plenty to do already, I’m just doing my part and cleaning up my side of the room.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“You fucking raped me with emotional orgasms. Repeatedly. I’m just giving you a physical one, why am I the criminal now?”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“He went until he felt it in their bodies, heard it in their voices. He went until there was blood, and he didn’t stop until he got it.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“Come my sweet angel,” he growled, his finger working in and out so very fast now. She gripped his neck with one hand and bucked in his lap. “Listen to how wet you are, fuck,” he gasped.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“An angel with a broken wing, patched together with sheer determination to survive and live and be… so fucking beautiful.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“don’t care if you never have sex with me or if you have weird needs, I love you and I’ll help you, that’s all I want. Broken or fixed, my heart is yours!”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“Sade grit his teeth, his need for vengeful pain plowing through him with every breath, every second. He needed to punish and demolish, and he needed it now.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“Project Johnathon Lee Ashfield, AKA Sade. That answered a lot for Mercy.”
― Lucian Bane, quote from Mercy
“The years he spent training her to be strong, equipping her with every manner of self-defense so that nobody could ever hurt her again.”

“Ben Franklin advises his grandson not to let even the American Revolution interrupt his studies, urging of young adulthood, "This is the time of life in which you are to lay the foundations of your future improvement and of your importance among men. If this season is neglected, it will be like cutting off the spring from the year.”
― H.W. Brands, quote from The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin
“family we choose. You don’t know how lucky I am that Pierce and Gaynor chose me. These two guys are awesome. The best.”
― James Patterson, quote from Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life
“ان نظام ما بعد الشمولية يلاحق الانسان بمبرراته في كل خطوة يخطوها تقريبا. يلاحقه بالطبع مرتديا قفازات الأيديولوجية. فالحياة فيه متشابكة كنسيج طحلباني من الكذب والأدعاء. ان حكومة البيرقراطية تسمى حكومة الشعب, وباسم الطبقة العاملة يتم استعباد الطبقة العاملة, الإذلال المستشري للإنسان يفسر على انه تحرير كامل للإنسان, ويطلق على حجب المعلومات تداول المعلومات, والتلاعب بالقوة التحكم العام في القوة والتعسف في استعمال القوة حفظ النظام العام, وقمع الثقافة تنمية الثقافة. كما يفسر نشر التأثير الامبريالي على انه دعم المضطهدين, والحجر على حرية الرأي على انه اعلى درجات الحرية, وتزوير الانتخابات على أنه قمة الديمقراطية, ومنع حركة التفكير على أنه أفضل اللآراء العلمية العالمية, والاحتلال على انه مساعدة الأشقاء. ان السلطة حبيسة الكاذبين, لذلك عليهم ان يزوروا. يزوروا الماضي والحاضر والمستقبل كما يزرون الاحصائيات. يدعون انهم لا يملكون الآلة الشرطية الجبارة والمهيمنة. يدعون انهم لا يدعون شيء.
ليس مطلوبا من الإنسان ان يصدق هذه التعمية. لكنه يجب ان يتصرف على انه يصدقها او يقبلها صاغرا, او يتعامل بصورة مقبولة مع من يتبعها.
لهذا هو مجبر ان يعيش في الكذب.
انه غير مضطر الى ان يصدق الكذب. يكفي ان يتقبل الحياة بكذبها ويتعايش معه. وبهذا يدعم النظام ويؤيده ويجعل من نفسه جزءا منه.”
― Václav Havel, quote from The Power of the Powerless
“The greatest satisfaction comes not from chasing pleasure and avoiding pain, but from the radical acceptance of life as it is, without fighting and clinging to passing desires.”
― Noah Levine, quote from Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries
“We can have a just society whose guiding ethos is accountability and punishment, where both black kids dealing weed in Harlem and investment bankers peddling fraudulent securities on Wall Street are forced to pay for their crimes, or we can have a just society whose guiding ethos is forgiveness and second chances, one in which both Wall Street banks and foreclosed households are bailed out, in which both inside traders and street felons are allowed to rejoin polite society with the full privileges of citizenship intact. But we cannot have a just society that applies the principle of accountability to the powerless and the principle of forgiveness to the powerful. This is the America in which we currently reside.”

Archangel's ConsortBookQuoters 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.
