“I know you love me, Jocelyn, because there’s no fucking way I can be this much in love with you, and not have you feel the same way. It’s not possible.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Babe, nice lingerie is for seducing a man. I’m already fucking seduced.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“You’re good with the words, I’ll give you that.”
“I’m good with my hands. Will you let me give you that?”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I feel like I'm missing something really important when you're gone. So important I don't feel like myself. I've never felt like someone was mine before. But you're mine, Jocelyn. I've known that from the moment we met. And I'm yours. I don't want to be anyone else's, babe.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Asshole.” “Just for that, I expect you to wrap that dirty mouth of yours around my cock tonight.” He narrowed his eyes on me.
I couldn’t believe he’d just said that to me in a fancy restaurant where anyone might overhear. “Are you kidding?” “Babe,” he gave me a look that suggested I was missing the obvious, “I never kid about blowjobs.”
Our waiter had descended on us just in time to hear those romantic words and his rosy cheeks betrayed his embarrassment. “Ready to order?” he croaked out.“Yes,” Braden answered, obviously uncaring he’d been overhead. “I’ll have the steak, medium-rare.” He smiled softly at me. “What are you having?” He took a swig of water. He thought he was so cool and funny. “Apparently sausage.” Braden choked on the water, coughing into his fists, his eyes bright with mirth as he put his glass back on the table. “Are you okay, sir?” The waiter asked anxiously. “I’m fine, I’m fine.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Let me rephrase.” He took a seething step toward me. “When it comes to you… I don’t like to share.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I would say it was nice to meet you, but I was naked so… it wasn’t.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Gentlemen are gentlemen in bed. They make sure you're having a good time."
"I'll make sure you're having a good time, and that you're okay with everything. I just won't be well mannered about it.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I just noticed a lack of ego in the room and thought ‘hey, where’s Braden?”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Would everyone stop saying arse!".... "I know, its called an ass, people. Ass”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I love you. You’re mine. I’ll kill any bastard who tries to take you from me.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I miss someone who gets me. I called a woman on my research team a bitch – you know in a friendly way – and she told me to go to hell. And I think she really meant it.”
“Rhian, we’ve talked about this. Normal people don’t like to be called names. For some reason, they tend to take is personally. And you are a tad bitchy, by the way.
“Normal people are so sensitive.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I wanted to create something beautiful in place of all the ugliness.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“We fuck, we have fun, and then we spoon. I don’t go home...”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Braden, I don't want anything to happen between us."
He raised his eyebrow, clearly unconvinced.
"Tell that to your damp knickers, babe.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I was washing the dishes and the sneaky bastard crept up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. And kissed me. Right here.” I pointed angrily to my neck. “Can I not have him committed or something?”
Dr. Pritchard snorted. “For loving you?”
I drew back, shaking my head in disgust. “Dr. Pritchard,” I admonished softly. “Whose side are you on?”
“Braden’s.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Why the hell did he have be the human version of a sexually charged nuclear weapon?”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Sometimes words aren’t needed for you to know a change has come upon you.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“You’re living off your parent’s money? At your age?” Oh no she didn’t. I took another drink and then smiled at her in warning as if to say, ‘don’t play this game with me, sweetheart, you won’t win.’
She didn’t heed the warning. “So they pay for everything? Doesn’t that make you feel guilty?”
Every fucking day. “Was it your money that bought those Louboutin’s… or Braden’s?”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“In truth it’s difficult to describe a broken heart.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Sure it could get rough sometimes, but life wasn't a Hollywood movie. Shit happened. You fought, you screamed, and somehow you worked like hell to get out the other side still intact.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Sometimes the clouds weren't weightless. Sometimes their bellies got dark and full. It was life. It happened. It didn't mean it wasn't scary, or that I wasn't still afraid, but now I knew that as long as I was standing under it with Braden beside me when those clouds broke, I'd be alright. We'd get rained on together. Knowing Braden he'd have a big ass umbrela to shelter us from the worst of it. That there was an uncertain future I could handle.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“After last night, there’s no denying the promise of what’s between us. I’m not backing off, so rather than coming up with a new defence – which I’m sure I’d find highly entertaining – just give in, babe. You know you’re going to eventually.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I don't like to share," he murmured.
"Braden, I'm not yours."
"For the next three months you are. I mean it, Jocelyn. No one else touches you.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“You know, it's a wonder I managed to squeeze into the room what with your giant-assed ego taking up all the space.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“You know on those nature shows when the cute little meerkat is strolling along on its four cute little meerkat legs to get back to her burrow where all her little meerkat politics, drama and family await her, and this big-ass eagle comes swooping overhead…? The smart little meerkat runs for cover and waits that big-ass eagle out. Some time passes, and the meerkat finally decides the eagle got bored and went off to scare the crap out of some other cute little meerkat. So, the meerkat crawls out from her hidey-hole to carry merrily on her way. And just when that little meerkat thought she was home free, that big-ass eagle swoops down and catches her in his big-ass claws. Well… I know exactly how that little meerkat felt…”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Point made. Question deflected. Spoiled bitch put in her pace.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“I'm making a list of things that make you agreeable."
I scoffed, pushing my foot into his leg. "And all you got is sex and vacations?"
"The length of the list is not my fault."
"Are you saying I'm disagreeable?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Woman, how stupid do you think I am? You really think I'm answering that? I want to get laid tonight?"
I pushed him harder. "Watch it, or you might get laid to rest."
Braden threw his head back and laughed.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“Was I shy? No. Not shy. Just, usually blissfully indifferent. I liked it that way. It was safer.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street
“He made a noise of disgruntlement. “It’s a bloody picnic. Sit. Eat. Shut up.”
― Samantha Young, quote from On Dublin Street

“Neither the heart cut by a sliver of glass in a wasteland of thorns, nor the atrocious waters seen in the corners of certain houses, waters like eyelids and eyes, could hold your waist in my hands when my heart lifts its oak trees toward your unbreakable thread of snow. Night sugar, spirit of crowns, redeemed human blood, your kisses banish me, and a surge of water with remnants of the sea strikes the silences that wait for you surrounding the worn-out chairs, wearing doors away.”
― Pablo Neruda, quote from Residence on Earth
“The song is languid and speaks of love and loneliness and loss. Why does love seem to go with the sad things?”
― Lisa Ann Sandell, quote from A Map of the Known World
“L'amore è l'unica costante in questo difficile mondo razionale, l'amore e la sua metà oscura, l'odio.”

“Ray Bannister started to build the guillotine the day Jerry Renault returned to Monument.”
― Robert Cormier, quote from Beyond the Chocolate War
“Quiet. My body melted heavily into the chair; I heard a cart go up the street. The room grew suddenly big with meaning. Something was about to happen, was happening: each object in the room seemed perfect of its kind, its kind being just its one self. The moment split into Eternity and I went with it: I had neither skin nor bones, but flowed into the world, sacred along with everything else, and was lost.”
― Maria McCann, quote from As Meat Loves Salt

The Realms of the Go...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.
