“Do I need permission to breathe, Sir?”

“Women worry too much about how they smell or taste. I assure you, I love to taste a woman’s primal essence on my tongue.” Something melted inside her. He liked it? “Really? You’re not just being polite, are you, Sir?” “No, kitten, when it comes to sex, I don’t have a polite bone in my body.”
― Kallypso Masters, quote from Nobody's Hero
“I don't taste and tell. Don't worry though. I'm very selective”
― Kallypso Masters, quote from Nobody's Hero
“Not nearly as incredible as hearing you scream when you came. Good thing you took Cassie home. She might think I was killing you in here."
"Oh, but what a way to go.”
― Kallypso Masters, quote from Nobody's Hero

“أعتقد يا والدي أن أهم صفات الإنسان المحببة أن يتميز بالخيال، فهذا يجعل الناس قادرين على وضع أنفسهم في موضع الآخرين، ومن ثم يشعرون بالعطف والحنان والفهم، وهذه الصفة -الخيال- يجب أن تزرع وتغرس في قلوب الصغار. لكن للأسف كان بيت جون جرير يطمس على الفور أية بادرة تظهر من هذه الصفة. الصفة الوحيدة المسموح لها أن تسود وتسيطر هي صفة الشعور بالواجب، أعتقد أنه من المكروه والمرذول أن تجعل الأطفال ينغمسون انغماسا كليا في تشرب هذه الصفة الأخيرة، لأنه من الواجب ومن الضروري أن يتصرفوا ويفعلوا كل شيء من خلال الحب والاقتناع.
انتظر حتى ترى ذلك الملجأ الذي أنوي أن أترأسه، هذا هو حلمي المفضل ولعبتي الذهنية الأولى عندما أذهب لأنام. لقد خططت لكل شيء حتى أصغر التفاصيل، مثل نظام الواجبات والملابس والمذاكرة والتسلية والعقاب. أيتامي سيكونون كغيرهم أشقياء، لكنهم -على أية حال- سيكونون في غاية السعادة.”
― Jean Webster, quote from Daddy-Long-Legs
“And then it was, that grief and pain made themselves known to me as never before. Note this, because I knew the full absurdity of Fate and Fortune and Nature more truly than a human can bear to know it. And perhaps the description of this, brief as it is, may give consolation to another. The worst takes its time to come, and then to pass. The truth is, you cannot prepare anyone for this, nor convey an understanding of it through language. It must be known. And this I would wish on no one in the world.”
― Anne Rice, quote from Pandora
“A narrow pond would form in the orchard, water clear as air covering grass and black leaves and fallen branches, all around it black leaves and drenched grass and fallen branches, and on it, slight as an image in an eye, sky, clouds, trees, our hovering faces and our cold hands.”
― Marilynne Robinson, quote from Housekeeping
“He smoked a cigarette, standing in the dark and listening to her undress. She made sea sounds; something flapped like a sail; there was the creak of ropes; then he heard the wave-against-a-wharf smack of rubber on flesh. Her call for him to hurry was a sea-moan, and when he lay beside her, she heaved, tidal, moon-driven.”
― Nathanael West, quote from Miss Lonelyhearts / The Day of the Locust
“Anyone who has chanced like me to roam through desolate mountains and studied at length their fantastic shapes and drunk the invigorating air of their valleys can understand why I wish to describe and depict these magic scenes for others.”

Letters to a Young P...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.
