“Gregory,” she said, “you cannot leave me here. What if someone finds you and removes you from the house? Who will know I am here? And what if…and what if…and then what if…”
He smiled, enjoying her officiousness too much to actually listen to her words. She was definitely herself again.
“When this is all over,” he said, “I shall bring you a sandwich.”
That stopped her short. “A sandwich? A sandwich?”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“It was a damned good thing men couldn’t have children. Gregory took no shame in admitting that the
human race would have died out generations earlier.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“He stepped toward her, and her heart just ached from it. His face was so handsome, and so dear, and so perfectly wonderfully familiar. She knew the slope of his cheeks, and the exact shade of his eys, brownish near the iris, melting into green at the edge.
And his mouth-she knew that mouth, the look of it, the feel of it. She knew his smile, and she knew his frown, and she knew-
she knew far to much.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“You might wish to revisit your understanding of the word everything.” Gregory turned to his mother.
“Vocabulary and comprehension were never her strong suits.”
Violet rolled her eyes. “Every day I marvel that the two of you managed to reach adulthood.”
“Afraid we’d kill each other?” Gregory quipped.
“No, that I’d do the job myself.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“But when he said he couldn’t shoot, it just seemed to make an odd sort of
sense to tell him that Hermione couldn’t dance. It fit, really. Men were supposed to shoot, and women
were supposed to dance, and trusty best friends were supposed to keep their foolish mouths shut.
Clearly, all three of them needed a bit of instruction.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“Yes.” She sighed again, with even more drama, not that Gregory would have imagined it possible. “It is
all so romantic,” she added. “The bride, the groom…”
“Both are considered standard in the ceremony, I understand.”
His mother shot him a peevish look. “How could I have raised a son who is so unromantic?”
Gregory decided there could not possibly be an answer to that.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“You can't fix this,' she ground out.
'That is not true. There is nothing anyone could hold over you that could not be overcome.'
'By what?' she demanded. 'Rainbows and sprites and the everlasting good wishes of your family? It won't work, Gregory. It won't. The Bridgertons may be powerful, but you cannot change the past, and you cannot bend the future to suit your whims ... You don't understand. You can't possibly. You are all so happy, so perfect.'
'We are not.'
'You are. You don't even know that you are, and you can't conceive that the rest of us are not, that we might struggle and try and be good and still not receive what we wish for.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“She's my little sister. Mine to torture and mine to protect.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“He loved her. He'd said it, and even though she couldn't quite believe it, she believed *him*.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“Lucy nodded dutifully, all the while making a mental list of all the places she would rather be. Paris, Venice, Greece, although weren’t they at war? No matter. She would still rather be in Greece.
(On the Way to the Wedding, Bridgertons #8, by Julia Quinn)”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“What did one say when a gentleman confessed to a shortcoming? She couldn’t recall ever hearing one do so before, but surely, sometime in the course of history, some gentleman had.
(Lucy about Gregory, On the Way to the Wedding, Bridgertons #8, by Julia Quinn).”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“we regard the earldom as an important family honor. But my father is a good man precisely because he is a good man, not because he possesses an ancient title. And as for Lord Blackwood, I find his title all the more appealing because it represents the nobility of the man standing before you, not of some long-dead ancestor.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“He knew her, he realized. He truly knew her. Not just the usual things. In fact, he didn't know the usual things. He did not know her favorite color. Nor cold he guess her favorite animal or food.
But somehow it didn't matter if he didn't knw if she preferred pink or blue or purple or black. He knew her heart. He wanted her heart.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“That ought to do it.' He stood up and held out his hand to her, but she ignored it, rolling over so that she could sit on the grassy knoll. He stood there awkwardly until she patted the spot on the grass next to her. He hesitated, and Belle finally groaned and slapped her down on the ground with considerable force. 'Oh, please,' she said in a semi-irritated voice. 'I'm not going to bite.' John sat down.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“So Hermione was the siren, and Lucy was the trusty friend, and all was right with the world. Or if not right, then at least quite predictable.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“I simply refuse to deal with idiots...It has cut my social obligations in half.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“She didn't want to be commended for knowing how to settle for second-best. That was like winning a prize for the prettiest shoes in a footrace. Irrelevant and not the point.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“she decided to watch the leaves on the tree across the way. How many would fall off in such a strong wind? ... She now knew why people made such a fuss about weddings. It was to keep the bride's mind occupied, lest she fall into strange mental chasms.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“Once Spencer was safely out of the shop, John yanked her around to face him and said, 'What the hell do you think you’re doing?'
Before she had a chance to answer him, Alex showed up at his side, grabbed Emma similarly and hissed, 'What the hell do you think you’re doing?'
Persephone looked at Dunford and smiled, waiting for her turn, but much to her disappointment, he just stood there and glared at all three women.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“Las mujeres eran criaturas misteriosas. Si pudieran aprender a decir lo que realmente querían decir, el mundo sería de lejos un lugar más sencillo.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“Hermione uzanıp yanağına dokundu, kederle gülümsüyordu. “Gördüğüm en mutsuz gelinsin.”
Lucy gözlerini kapadı. “Mutsuz değilim. Ben sadece şey hissediyorum...”
Ama ne hissettiğini bilmiyordu. Ne hissetmesi gerekiyordu ki?Kimse bunun için eğitmemişti onu.Bütün eğitimi boyunca; dadısı,mürebbiyesi ve Bayan Moss’un Okulu’nda geçirdiği üç yıl boyunca kimse ona bunun dersini vermemişti. Neden kimse bunun dikiş nakıştan ve yerel danslardan daha önemli olduğunu fark etmemişti?
“Ben...” Artık anlamıştı. “Ben veda ediyormuş gibi hissediyorum.”
Hermione hayretle gözlerini kırpıştırdı. “Kime?”
Kendime...”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“İnsanın umutsuzluğunun yalnızca Tanrı’nın ismiyle anlatılabileceği durumlar da vardır.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“He smiled.
Her stomach felt strange.
She tried to smile back. She really should be going.
So naturally, she did not move.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“Lucy could feel herself slipping, sliding into need, falling into a hazy place of love and desire where right was not quite identifiable from wrong.”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
“in his direction. “She is being”

“A good relationship is a two-way street, gatita. Submitting and serving is equaled by a master’s need to take control, to protect, to make someone happy.”
― Cherise Sinclair, quote from To Command and Collar
“In a lifetime of hearing people celebrate weekends, she finally saw what all the fuss was about. By no means did her workload cease on Saturday, but it did shift gears. If her kids wanted to pull everything out of the laundry basket to make a bird's nest and sit in it, fine. Dellarobia could even sit in there with them and incubate, if she so desired. Household chores no longer called her name exclusively. She had an income. She'd never before understood how much her life in this little house had felt to her like confinement in a sinking vehicle after driving off a bridge. ..... To open a hatch and swim away felt miraculous. Working outside the home took her about fifty yards from her kitchen, which was far enough. She couldn't see the dishes in the sink.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, quote from Flight Behavior
“It was one thing to deal with monsters that were human in appearance. Another thing entirely to deal with humans who were monsters.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Shades of Blood
“Most of the time I paid it no mind. I kept to myself and everyone in my town of Henryetta liked it that way. While my grandma saw helpful information such as droughts and locust infestations, I was cursed with seeing useless and mundane things like Mrs. White’s toilet overflow or the ear infection in Jenny Baxter’s baby. None of that would be so bad if I kept what I saw to myself, but my visions didn't work that way. Without any volition of my own, whatever I saw just blurted right out of my mouth. Most of the people who knew me thought I was a snoop or a gossip, the only rational explanation to reason away my knowledge. But Momma had another opinion. She declared me demon-possessed.”

Sacred Marriage: Cel...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.
