“I don't want you to be the shifter. Rokan's voice was quiet , and her human sense of smell told her nothing about how he felt. I haven't wanted that for a long time. since before i knew it was possible for you to not be the shifter. a pause then - so quirtly that even she could barely hear him - since before i knew i loved you”
― Leah Cypess, quote from Mistwood
“She had learned to pay attention to the variations in Rokan's smiles. There was the sideways half-smile when he found something amusing; the slow, contented smile that appeared only rarely these days; and the wide, dazzling, unrestrained smile she had so far seen only twice, when he first came for her in the Mistwood and when they watched the hawk soar against the sky. And then there was this one, the reason for her watchfulness: the impish grin that meant he wanted to do something he knew was stupid and was going to do it anyhow.”
― Leah Cypess, quote from Mistwood
“Bitch!"
"Under the circumstances," Rokan commented in an almost steady voice, "that's really just a statement of fact, you know.”
― Leah Cypess, quote from Mistwood
“I don't want you to be the shifter." Rokan's voice was quiet, and her human sense of smell told her nothing about how he felt. "I haven't wanted that for a long time. Since before I knew it was possible for you to not be the shifter." A pause then --- so quietly that even she could barely hear him. "Since before I knew I loved you.”

“«Sa, anch'io gioco un pochino a tennis, e pensavo...»
«Se lei gioca a tennis solo un pochino, allora probabilmente non è al mio livello.»”
― Stephen King, quote from The Dark Half
“What are you looking at?" Jordan demanded finally, watching
her.
"A dragon." When he looked bewildered she lifted her arm and pointed to the sky in the southeast. "Right there—that cloud—what do you see when you look at it?"
"A fat cloud."
Alexandra rolled her eyes at him. "What else do you see?"
He was quiet for a moment studying the sky. "Five more fat clouds
and three thin ones.”
― Judith McNaught, quote from Something Wonderful
“I might be confused sometimes in my head but it is not something you need to talk about. Before you can talk you have to line it all up in order and I had rather just let it swirl around until I am too tired to think. You just let the motion in your head wear you out. Never think about it. You just make a bigger mess that way.”
― Kaye Gibbons, quote from Ellen Foster
“Мисълта ми вече се приплъзваше: вместо крехкия му тил се очертаваха много по-мощните вратове на мъже, които бях познавал или просто мярвал, оглеждах ги през погледа на жена, внезапно разбирайки с ужасяваща яснота, че мъжете нищо не контролират, нищо не владеят, че всички те са деца и дори играчки, създадени за удоволствие на жените, едно толкова по-ненаситно и върховно удоволствие, колкото повече мъжете си мислят, че контролират нещата, че владеят жените, докато в действителност жените ги поглъщат, унищожават властта им и размиват контрола им, за да вземат в крайна сметка от тях много повече, отколкото те са искали да дадат. Мъжете съвсем искрено вярват, че жените са уязвими и тази уязвимост трябва или да се използва, или да се закриля, докато жените се надсмиват снизходително и с любов или с презрение над детинската и безкрайна уязвимост на мъжете, над тяхната наранимост, тази толкова близка до загубата на траен контрол крехкост, над постоянно надвисналия провал, над въплътената в силната плът пустота. Несъмнено, именно поради това жените убиват толкова рядко. Те страдат много повече, но винаги ще имат последната дума. Пиех си чая. Ханика бе оправил леглото ми с всички одеяла, които бе успял да открие; взех две и ги оставих на дивана в предната стая, където спеше. Затворих вратата и набързо мастурбирах, после заспах на мига, с оплескани със сперма ръце и корем.”
― Jonathan Littell, quote from The Kindly Ones
“Brother, you are mad,” said the queen. “He loves me,” Roshar protested. The cub was sleeping huddled against Rosher’s leg. “And when it has grown, and is large enough to eat a man?” “Then I’ll make Arin take care of him.”

Intimacy: Trusting O...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.
