“Becoming leader of this place had been his calling, but Liv had been his destiny.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen
“In that moment, lying there on the floor in agony, he realized that was why his feelings for Liv had so drastically changed. Earlier, she had actually gotten up and attacked one of the men, trying to protect him. Him. A complete bastard who never did anything for anyone.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen
“Thank you Liv… Thank you for being the only woman ever brave enough to love me.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen
“The heat of his sweet breath mixing with hers, his scent filling her lungs, was like a drug made from concentrated sin.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen
“That sports were theatrical events meant to fill a primal void created by the lack of bloodshed men craved.”
― Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, quote from Mermen
“Find the heroism within yourself to play out the hand you've been dealt.
The universe never sets a challenge that can't be met.”
― Darren Shan, quote from Hell's Heroes
“«Non voglio innamorarmi di te.» disse. «Non posso permettermelo, e non lo farò.»
«Non importa. Io ti amerò abbastanza per tutti e due.» sussurrò Rhage.”
― J.R. Ward, quote from Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1-9
“There's an honesty to the wolf world that is liberating. There's no diplomacy, no decorum. You tell your enemy you hate him; you show your admiration by confessing the truth. That directness doesn't work with humans, who are masters of subterfuge. Does this dress make me look fat? Do you really love me? Did you miss me? When a person asks this, she doesn't want to know the real answer. She wants you to lie to her. After two years of living with wolves, I had forgotten how many lies it takes to build a relationship.”
― Jodi Picoult, quote from Lone Wolf
“How very wet this water is.”
― L. Frank Baum, quote from The Marvelous Land of Oz
“The world,' said he, pursuing this train of thought, 'ridicules a passion which it seldom feels; its scenes, and its interests, distract the mind, deprave the taste, corrupt the heart, and love cannot exist in a heart that has lost the meek dignity of innocence. Virtue and taste are nearly the same, for virtue is little more than active taste, and the most delicate affections of each combine in real love.”
― Ann Radcliffe, quote from The Mysteries of Udolpho
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.
