“Because while she's so pre-occupied reading... I'm so pre-occupied reading her.”
“Because it's eternal, the rise and fall of the sun. It's forever. Just like us”
“Because he's Cameron. And you’re Lucy. You're team Luca. You guys are forever. If you two can't make it work, then we're all screwed.”
“There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. A heart so strong it will never slow. There is a promise so sure it can never lie. And we promise that love forever. Forever and always”
“Is your sister ... uh... hearing impaired?"
"She's just reading.”
“You still make my world stop, Luce.”
“If heartbreak had a sound, it would be her sob.”
“It's the fucking hardest thing to do—to be around the person you love, every day, and not be able to love them.”
“I feel like I've loved you for eternity, and it's not even close to long enough.”
“I hope your dick gets whore poisoning and shrivels to its death! And then I hope all the girls see it and laugh at you! And then I hope it falls off! You can stare down at it and cry like a little bitch, just like you did when your pet hamster died!”
“Quit moaning like a dick deprived whore and get out of my seat.”
“I thought it was impossible to be able to laugh again. But he did it; he made my impossible, possible”
“Lachlan: "why are you crying, pretty girl?"
Logan: " Dude, you're always stealing my game”
“She reads, and I read her. And that's how I spend the next few weeks. Each day, she speaks a few more words to me, and each day I find myself caring more than I should.”
“No fictional boy has ever compared to you.”
“Stop making me fall in love with you”
“I move my hand lower. His eyes drift shut. Lower. He lets out a groan. And then I touch it. "Shit," he breathes. "Penis," I squeak.”
“I don't care that you can't quote my favorite movie, and you don't care that I don't know what book Will and Layken are from.”
“You said that you wanted to be her reason for loving books. You said you wanted to be her reason for everything.”
“Lucy: It's just about a boy and a girl falling in love.
Camron: Yeah? Is the guy a stud? Is his name Cameron?”
“You can keep your two wishes, I'll just take the one. I want my girl, Lucy. My forever. And not just for our forever, but for eternity, and for always.”
“I sigh and flop down on my bed. "Okay." He starts pacing the room. "Rewind and tell me what happened from the beginning."
"Okay." I blow out a breath and try to calm down. "So she touched my dick."
"Where?"
"MY DICK! Are you not listening?"
"Settle down, asshole. Where were you when she touched..."
His face contorts to a grimace. "You know... your..."
"My dick? At school."
"HOLY SHIT ! What the hell are they letting happen in schools these days?"
"What?" I yell, frustrated. "No! It's not like she pulled my pants down in the cafeteria while we were all eating lunch and decided to tug me.”
“The way he cares for me—the way he protects me. It's fierce.”
“I remember thinking that I'd give up all other senses if it meant I could hear you laugh again.”
“Brain: You have no problem getting off, shut your whore mouth. Body: Did you just call my mouth a whore?”
“Then I put the keys in the ignition, squeal like a girl when it turns over, and drive off...in my fucking Delorean. Bitches.”
“This is the first of many first times for us. It doesn't matter that we've experienced it all. It's different this time; there are no questions, no uncertainties. You and me, babe, forever”
“I know, and I do trust you, but when you said it was a surprise I thought you meant 'Here, Luce. I got you a unicorn.' not 'Here, Luce, jump in the river.”
“Being with Cameron— in his bed— it's not physical, or sexual. "I understand ," I tell her. "But you don't have to worry, it's not like that. Cameron— he's my strength. And right now, I don't know that I have any left.”
“He who would be everything cannot be anything.”)”
“We used often to see a big one gliding across the dirt road ahead of the car, and the golden rule was never to accelerate and try to run it over, especially if the roof of the car was open, as ours often was. If you hit a snake at speed, the front wheel can flip it up into the air and there is a danger of it landing in your lap. I can think of nothing worse than that. The really bad snake in Tanganyika is the black mamba. It is the only one that has no fear of man and will deliberately attack him on sight. If it bites you, you are a gonner.”
“Prolific irony - For 8 years, the finger on the button that could end the world belonged to a president who couldn't pronounce the word "nuclear.”
“A fraction of what you believe to be the truth always lies behind a joke”
“Cause all you gotta know is, it's gonna be you and only you until the day I die... You're not just enough for me. You're everything I want.”
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.
