“Who was this person who could hack a man to pieces one day and save a kitten the next?”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“A story about a man who has loved me from the very beginning, from the first glance. The man who always was and still is my soul mate.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“Because, as long as we’ve been friends, you never once mentioned your husband’s huge dick.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“He was my first love. He was a true love. In fact, he was the biological father of my firstborn, though she would never meet him. He wanted it that way. And deep down, so did I.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“I loved numbers. I still love numbers. I love how they never lie. They always fit. There is always a constant.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“I’m a little scared, Grizz. Actually, more nervous than scared.” I tilted my head up to him, hands damp. “I know you have experience. I have none. I’m afraid you’ve built me up in your head to an ideal I can’t live up to. I don’t want to disappoint you.” Until that very moment I didn’t even know the extent of my feelings. But I recognized there was truth in what I said. I was falling for Grizz. I still can’t explain the Grunt thing. Maybe it wasn’t real. Maybe it was all in my head because of the dream. I didn’t know. It didn’t matter. Because while I was talking, Grizz was kissing my neck and I was letting myself enjoy it. I closed my eyes and leaned into him. “You could never disappoint me, baby and I don’t want you to have experience. Everything you need to know you’ll learn from me,” he said as he turned me around and kissed me. “Only me.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“I couldn’t believe it. I thought I’d seen a different Grizz. A sympathetic Grizz who rescued kittens and listened to my kind of music. Someone who made sure his young wife went to church every Sunday. I couldn’t believe how naïve I was. He was all of those things, but I kept forgetting that he didn’t get to be the leader of this gang by being soft. He was hard. He was cold-blooded. He was ruthless in his pursuit of what he wanted.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“I’m a little scared, Grizz. Actually, more nervous than scared.” I tilted my head up to him, hands damp. “I know you have experience. I have none. I’m afraid you’ve built me up in your head to an ideal I can’t live up to. I don’t want to disappoint you.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“He didn’t say he was upset because I married Grizz, thereby making me unavailable to him.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“I liked how he gently squeezed my thigh just above my knee as we idled at a crosswalk.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“Jan does a big dinner every year. You’ll like it.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“I was a loner but never lonely and was an excellent student. I buried myself in my books. I showed a real talent for working with numbers. I loved numbers. I still love numbers. I love how they never lie. They always fit. There is always a constant.”
― Beth Flynn, quote from Nine Minutes
“About three feet from where you were tossing your dirty water.”

“Before you have faith you must believe, and before you believe there must be evidence of some sort to persuade the mind. Faith is remembering that evidence and holding to it against all that seems to challenge or contradict it.”

“Noon was approaching and the shadows under the sycamores were thin and short. The surface of the blue-tiled fish-pond was glassily still and water splashed monotonously into the fountain’s basins. Khaemwaset held his fingers under the glittering flow and found it silky and warm.”

The Blight of Muirwo...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.
