“It matters,” he called after her and stupidly she turned to find him standing right in front of her.
“What?”
“Your happiness,” he began roughly, “it matters.”
― Francette Phal, quote from Monster
“I’m so in love with you…” she whispered, so quietly like it was a secret from her soul.”
― Francette Phal, quote from Monster
“I come to you in fractured pieces.”
― Francette Phal, quote from Monster
“He looked like he could pleasure a girl and devastate her in the same breath without even trying.”
― Francette Phal, quote from Monster
“I hate you,” she declared wretchedly in the vibrating, lust filled air.
He leaned in close, lips barely touching hers as he nudged at her cheek with his nose, his warm breath a seduction of its own until he was at her ear, “No, sweet pet, you hate that you want me,” he imparted huskily.
“Do you feel that?” Her kiss bruised mouth parted in a soft gasp, her golden eyes widening as she felt his fingers dancing just beyond the damp barrier of her panties. “How wet you are? That’s your pussy salivating for my cock.”
― Francette Phal, quote from Monster
“A sovereign among commoners, he appears removed from the common patrons..”

“But I am your father, and I am terrified of you.”
― Francette Phal, quote from Monster
“that this is what I wanted my marriage to be like? This cold, unfeeling, back and forth that has left nothing but resentment and hate? A husband is supposed to love, cherish, and protect his wife, not parade her around like arm”
― Francette Phal, quote from Monster
“The best thing that ever happened to me shows up in coveralls and a pair of Chucks when I least expect it. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.”
― J.B. Salsbury, quote from Fighting for Flight
“Yo me había dado por vencida. He perdido toda esperanza para mí. Luego te conocí. Tú me hiciste enamorarme de ti, y tú me enseñaste que había una razón para luchar. Tú tuviste la suficiente esperanza para los dos y , si no fuera por ti, yo no estaría aquí hoy".”
― Sandi Lynn, quote from Forever Us
“A fact was the hard outer cover of meaning, and meaning was the soft living stuff inside a fact. Fact and meaning were the driving cogs of living. If the gear of fact drove the gear of meaning, then they revolved in opposite directions, but put the gear of fantasy between the two and they both revolved in the same direction. Fantasy was and is important; it leads to heaven knows where, but follow it and see. Sometimes it pays off.”
― Fynn, quote from Mister God, This is Anna
“She did not like seeing her loved ones like this, bent over with sorrow; everything in her wanted to cry out, to thrash and scream at the sight of it. But she knew that great grief came from great love, and that their grief was an honor to her. And she did love them so very much.”
― Anne Ursu, quote from The Shadow Thieves
“We tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited.”
― Trevor Noah, quote from Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood
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.
