“When the second hour of Fiji’s open house was almost at an end, a mother from Davy said, “How on earth do you get it to look like the cat is talking?” “Oh, did it look realistic?” Fiji had to struggle to keep a smile on her face. “It was so cute! It said, ‘Get off my tail or I’ll smother you in your sleep.’” “Just some batteries and a CD!” Fiji said. “And isn’t that just what a cat should say?”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“Fiji, I’m betting you don’t drink a lot,” he said, trying to suppress a smile.
“I don’t,” she confessed. “How did you know?”
“Just a lucky guess.”
“You think he’d like my phone number?”
“Feej, that guy is tough as nails, and he’s not only been around the block, he’s run a marathon. He could eat you for breakfast,” Olivia said, half smiling.
“And wouldn’t that be a great way to wake up?” Fiji said, with a broad wink. Manfred laughed; he couldn’t help it.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“You have a vampire living in your basement, and you're stunned by a talking cat?”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“Buddy of yours?" Manfred asked, when he was sure his voice would be even.
"I don't think snake-shifters have buddies," Lemuel said. "They just know people they haven't tried to eat yet.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“Even at the beginning of fall—which is only a date on the calendar in Texas;”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“The Rev’s house is similar to Fiji’s, but it’s older, smaller, and has only sparse grass in the little front yard. It is also in no way welcoming or charming, and he has no cat.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“Weirdly, strangely—wonderfully—he knew this was the moment he was touching the bottom, and he understood that from now on, however gradually, he would begin to heal.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“Was that justice?” she said. She sounded as though she honestly wanted to know.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“No threatening the cat!” Mr. Snuggly said. No”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“No threatening the cat!" Mr. Snuggly said.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“Since he’d had no clue about Chris Stybr (sometimes he had a genuine impression about the seeker, but this Chris could be a man or a woman or a hermaphrodite for all Manfred knew),”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“if you live next door to an apex predator, you shouldn’t go around poking him with a stick. Fiji”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Midnight Crossroad
“He loved his mother. He just had a hard time remembering that some days.”

Memorizing You
Crimes Against MagicBookQuoters 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.
