“Holding on to the past means you can never be open to having a future”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Obsidian
“His voice deepened. "Sign them. We´re in the bedroom and i´m giving you an order.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Obsidian
“Love is so complicated. I’m glad I don’t suffer from it and hope I never do. It’s amazing how smart, strong people turn into frail, frightened idiots once their hearts are involved.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Obsidian
“You are not the first female to strike me, my mate did it often. She grew testy at time."
Like perhaps when you opened your mouth...”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Obsidian
“Let me go.”
“No.” He pulled her closer. “Never.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Obsidian
“You will stay with me. You will sleep here at my side and you will touch me. I am depressed but not when you stroke my chest.”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Obsidian
“all I want to know.” “You just”
― Laurann Dohner, quote from Obsidian
“Nadie te culpa por no ser capaz de recordar. Te ofreciste como sacrificio, fuiste valiente. Salvaste a Magnus. Y salvaste a Isabelle. Me salvaste a mí [...].”
― Cassandra Clare, quote from The Whitechapel Fiend
“Then he snarled at her. “You are not leaving me.”
It was an order, and she didn’t have to follow anyone’s orders. That was part of being Omega instead of a regular werewolf – who might have had a snowball’s chance in hell of being a proper mate.
“You need someone stronger,” Anna told him again. “So you wouldn’t have to hide when you’re hurt. So you could trust your mate to take care of herself and help, damn it, instead of having to protect me from whatever you are hiding.” She hated crying. Tears were weaknesses that could be exploited and they never solved a damned thing. Sobs gathered in her chest like a rushing tide and she needed to get away from him before she broke.
Instead of fighting his grip, she tried to slide out of it. “I need to go,” she said to his chest. “I need–”
His mouth closed over hers, hot and hungry, warming her mouth as his body warmed her body.
“Me,” Charles said, his voice dark and gravelly as if it had traveled up from the bottom of the earth, his eyes a bright gold. “You need me.”
― Patricia Briggs, quote from Fair Game
“Shrouded in his red cassock, he padded off to the bathroom lost in the silent ecstasy or wearing new socks.”
― Julia Stuart, quote from The Tower, The Zoo, and The Tortoise
“You know how many there are. You can't convince them and you can't kill 'em. You can only do your best in the opposite direction...”
― Susan Cooper, quote from Silver on the Tree
“I should have found out what was troubling her. But I've been too much taken up with other things this week . . . things that really mattered nothing compared to a child's unhappiness. Think of what the poor darling has suffered."
She stooped repentantly, gloatingly over them. They were still hers . . . wholly hers, to mother and love and protect. They still came to her with every love and grief of their little hearts. For a few years longer they would be hers . . . and then? Anne shivered. Motherhood was very sweet . . . but very terrible.
"I wonder what life holds for them," she whispered.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Anne of Ingleside
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.
